Hey y’all! I’m Zoe (she/her) and I am an astrophysicist researching the formation history of the Milky Way💫 I love going to music festivals, laying by any body of water, and yoga! Fun fact: in undergrad, I never missed a home gator football game🌈

if we can only pursue material we were interested in at 9 years old then I should trade in this astrophysics PhD program for a one direction PhD program 🫶🏼
@lordofgummies33
I hate to say it, but as a former physics major, if you actually want to go into physics you should be the kind of person who finds this level of material completely obvious at 9 years old.
It's absolutely worth studying -- but physics only needs people who are math freaks.

yesterday marked day 3 of our grad student observing trip
@mcdonaldobs
🌌 our group got to visit HET and do some observing on the 0.8 meter! it’s so easy to forget that the data we work with on a daily basis actually COMES from places like this🔭🌄

phenomenal first day at the NLTE Stellar Properties conference in Chicago! Got to experience the city in the summer time, visit the KICP, give my first ever (!!!) conference talk, and brainstorm about some NLTE stellar spectra projects.

from pink talk slides, to giggling about Harry styles during observing runs, embracing femininity in astronomy has been something I’ve always been passionate about. Happy
#InternationalWomensDay
& to my women in astro- I’m so grateful for you 🫂

grad school during the summer is pretty much: walk dog > see sunshine > have meetings > work while dog stares longingly from under desk > caffeinate > dog park > repeat

Thank you Keith!! Had so much fun investigating with everyone 🕵️♀️
My 1st yr grad student Zoe Hackshaw,
@TheAstroZo
gave her 1st conference talk. Zoe, our Galactic archaeological detective, took the audience on an investigation of the old Galaxy using stellar "witnesses". A clever way of presenting how stars can be used to understand our Galaxy!

when I first read this I was like … my lab is my family …
The notion of a lab as a “family” is toxic. I think of my lab as a punk band, where I’m the grizzled old manager who goes around picking up bar tabs, cleaning up broken glass and vomit, and lying to the police

@PratitiTiyas
All of the Reply Guys like “ OH WHAT YOH WANT EXPLOSIONS? YOU WANT MEDIEVAL TORTURW WEAPONS” like no I would actually prefer no weapons of mass destruction and not have ppl passing off engineering for a war machine as a cool and humane interest. hope this helps🫶🏼

this comic truly encapsulates what it means to be an astronomer. We are bringing the beauty of the stars to those around us!

@Birch_LL
Yes! There is a separate control room with a door kind of hard to see from this angle. The controls in the dome force the telescope operator to watch the telescope slew so it doesn’t … run into anything it shouldn’t ;)

spiraling over the fact that this is not an artificially generated image
Of course Saturn brought its ring light 🪐
Webb took its first near-infrared look at Saturn on June 25. The planet appears dark at this wavelength, as methane gas in its atmosphere absorbs sunlight — but its icy rings stay bright! Learn more:

I cannot believe that we are so spoiled that we get pictures like this of a freakin INFANT STAR!!! practically an ultrasound pic. we are so lucky
What might a baby picture of our Sun look like? 👶
Seen in this Webb image is a newborn star with supersonic jets of gas spewing from its poles. It’s only a few tens of thousands of years old here, but when it grows up, it'll be much like our Sun:

Depends if you have pet insurance!! I HIGHLY recommend this if you live in the US. If not you can usually expect to pay around $100-200 per visit depending on your pup :/ but yes you can usually buy prescriptions from cheaper options online!
