#PPOD: Did you miss the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus earlier this month? In case you did, check out this view from the Great Salt Lake in Utah on June 9th, and see if you can spot Mercury near the horizon as well. Credit: NASA Solar System Exploration
Light curve (Planetary science 🪐)
In astronomy, a light curve is a graph of the light intensity of a celestial object or region as a function of time, typically with the magnitude of light received on the y-axis and with time on the x-axis. The light is usually in a particular frequency interval or band. Light curves can be periodic, as in the case of eclipsing binaries, Cepheid variables, other periodic...
NASA’s Lucy Reveals Wobbling, Peanut-Shaped Asteroid
🌍🌑 Earth soil carries the pulse of life, while lunar regolith holds a quieter memory shaped by ancient impacts. What unfolds when two worlds write their stories in dust?
✍️ Explore the quiet divide: https://www.theperpetuallycurious.org/soil-vs-regolith/
A small question can open a wider sky.

Dr. Kimberly Bott received her PhD from the University of New South Wales, working on exoplanet polarimetry (observation and computational modeling). Subsequently, she held postdoc positions at the Virtual Planetary Laboratory and UC Riverside.
Currently, Dr. Bott is investigating the observability of terrestrial exoplanets in polarized light with contemporary and near-future telescopes and how the method might be used to map those worlds.

NASA’s Webb Catches Exoplanet Getting Roasted
Artwork: NASA, ESA, CSA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI) One well-done gas giant, coming right up! That’s the latest from researchers analyzing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s observations of HD 80606 b, an exoplanet four times the mass of Jupiter with an extremely elliptical orbit that sweeps close by its Sun-like star. The research team is presenting their study and preliminary findings Tuesday at the 248th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Pasadena, […]https://onlinemarketingscoops.com/2026/06/17/nasas-webb-catches-exoplanet-getting-roasted/
