KIPAC Public Lectures Tuesday June 2 (6pm PT) "Pictures of Distant Worlds" by Bruce Macintosh. Find out about the first-ever images of other solar systems — and the technology that has allowed us to see them, such as the Gemini Gemini Planet Imager — and more! buff.ly/2TMG9qF

Dr. Jason Wang Jason Wang of Caltech told us about the recent announcement that astronomers using the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRC2) on the Keck II telescope at W. M. Keck Observatory have directly imaged two infant gas giants: PDS 70b and PDS 70c. buff.ly/2UsBRp5

Astronomers released the largest collection of sharp, detailed images of debris disks around young stars, showcasing the variety of shapes & sizes of stellar systems during their prime planet-forming yrs. Surprisingly, nearly all showed evidence of planets buff.ly/3eyT48i

Those are snapshots from the largest collection of sharp, detailed images of dusty debris disks around young stars. The images captured by Gemini Gemini Planet Imager illustrate the variety of shapes and sizes that stellar systems can take during their infancy. buff.ly/37VRsCO

Animation of the solar system and moving outward to indicate stars observed with the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) mounted on the Gemini South telescope in Chile. Highlighted are the images of the dusty rings encircling some of these young stars. buff.ly/3g1YoB9

“Cosmic Conversation” Franck Marchis (Franck Marchis) of the The SETI Institute and Ryan Wyatt of the California Academy of Sciences to discuss direct imaging of Earth-like exoplanets—perhaps even the exoplanet closest to us, orbiting Proxima Centauri! buff.ly/2EgQ5ED

For the first time, astronomers have detected a planet orbiting a white dwarf star named WD 1856+534 (25pc from us). If further confirmed, the discovery shows that some planets could survive the destruction of their sun-like stars. buff.ly/3hHj3Lc

What if there were a museum that contained every type of life form in the Universe? This melodysheep video describes this fantastic place and gives us the opportunity to dream about them by mixing art and science. Enjoy this beautiful video! #SETI buff.ly/2FkUTsV

Beautiful observations with ALMA of a planetary cocoon around the planet PDS 70c where baby moons might be forming. It’s remarkable what can be seen with this facility on the top of the world. Congrats' to the team buff.ly/2W11ukb

It’s happening… finally! Gemini Planet Imager is going to University of Notre Dame to be upgraded and then will be shipped to Gemini Observatory North to find more planets and image disks around young stars.

I have arrived at University of Notre Dame to be refurbished with a better WFS, new electronics and optics, so I reach a better sensitivity and contrast.

The dawn of a new era in astronomy has begun as the world gets its first look at the full capabilities of the NASA/ESA/CSA #JWST. The telescope’s first full-colour images and spectroscopic data were released today and they are spectacular. buff.ly/3P0kbuY

Why are we looking for life beyond Earth and how will we find it? Hear from astrobiologist K. Lynch, SETI researcher S. Sheikh, artist-in-residence B. Nelson, and planetary astronomer F. Marchis on possible answers. Vote for our SXSW Panel from Aug. 9-21! buff.ly/3vUDPRP

GPI (2) has got a brand new look! Testing out our adaptive optics on GPI's updated logo that features native Hawaiian geese, called nenes, in honor of GPI 2's future home at Gemini Observatory North.

A parsec is the distance — 3.26 light-years — that a star must lie from the Sun for its parallax angle to be exactly 1 arcsecond (1/3600 of a degree). astronomy.com/magazine/ask-a…
