Taking a break from the afternoon break to bring you some of the most exciting new #science results from the #Exo4 #Exoplanets conference! I'll tell you why I'm excited about these in a thread!

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

(1) A detection of a proto-planet in the TW Hya Disk. It's currently somewhere around the size of Neptune, but still growing!

(2) 30 new Hot Jupiters from TESS! (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite)

(3) a sub-Earth planet around Proxima Centauri, our nearest neighbor! @asmasca

I've arrived to the conference and my poster is all hung up and ready to go! Excited for the #Science talks that start tomorrow and to see all my colleagues that I haven't seen in 2+ years!

To all the colleagues currently flying to the #Exo4 conference in #LasVegas, here is a calculator of your travel #carbonfootprint.
Keep in mind that if we want to survive on this planet, we need to stay below 2 t eCO2 / year !

If I had known ahead of time about #Exo4 I would be packing my bags for Vegas right now. The FOMO is real y’all… 🥲

To make myself feel better, I’ll be observing the transit of TOI 4053.01 tonight 🪐🔭

And then following along on #Exo4 as Dr @_astronoMay live tweets next week!

Hi everyone! 👋 I've been busy finishing some things up before I travel to Vegas tomorrow for an #Exoplanets conference!

I'll be pretty quiet here during the days, but in the evenings I'll bring you some of the most exciting new #science discoveries at the #Exo4 hashtag! So follow or mute that as you see fit 🙂
