#Weather in #Arizona looks perfect for the #transit night ... but the #KittPeak #observatory was hit by a serious #contreras #fire in June and the #telescope is down since then. Fortunately, the #firefighters saved the observatory and the staff are working hard. The instrument is expected to be back on sky on Nov. 11, hence ONE DAY before the transit. We still don't know what will be the instrumental stability. #AstronomerLife

Attached: 1 image Over the next few weeks, I will be tooting A LOT about one very special and fascinating #exoplanet system: #HIP41378. #Thread The #star hosts 5 (+?) #exoplanets. Those exoplanets are #transiting in front of their host star which allow us to measure their radius. This #system is very special because the planets are orbiting at long orbital period. The 5 planets (called b, c, d, e, and f) have periods of 2 weeks, 1 month, 9 month, 1 yr and 1.5 yr (resp.). #Astrodon #astronomy #astrophysics
