Words cannot express the excitement of the first detection of sulfur in an exoplanet atmosphere. What makes it even more interesting is it exists in an oxidized form SO2 (sulfur dioxide) in a reducing, H2-atmosphere of the hot Jupiter #WASP39b seen by #JWST.

A wonderful thread by @afeinstein20 that shows more of the details of #JWST #NIRISS SOSS data analysis, from pixels to planetary spectrum of #WASP39b!

Producers sometimes ask me who would be good on camera to talk about exoplanet science, but my recs are less likely to be taken seriously w/o examples of prior work online. If you’re interested in SciComm, volunteer for public outreach early and often!

Before we know what life is, we must know what life is not. Giant planets are laboratories for studying the formation & evolution processes that produce the diversity of worlds we see. WASP-39b is the crown jewel of giants so far thanks to #JWST. Vote #WASP39b!

Don't get me wrong: I'm ecstatic that Raphael Warnock has been re-elected to the U.S. Senate. But this race shouldn't have been this close. I won't stop turning out Gen Z voters, because it's Gen Z that will make sure Republicans never come this close to winning again.

Congratulations to our amazing Astrobiology Science Communications Fellow Isabel Swafford for making the front page of the SJ Mercury News!

Tune in to SETI Live tomorrow to hear from the early career scientists who led some of the first #JWST exoplanet studies.

Honored our Transiting Exoplanet ERS science is featured on the cover of Nature 614 7949. Also grateful they agreed to show a #JWST spectrum. For the record, I tried to get them to show a graphical representation instead of cartoon. That was a non-starter, but I’ll keep trying! x.com/nature/status/…
