Erin M. May, PhDAttempting to become a #twitter convert. So an #introduction is due I suppose? I'm a scientist (astrophysics) who studies the atmospheres of planets around other stars. Passionate about communication science to the public, particularly when it comes to habitability of exoplanets! Follow me for science, cats, and crafts <3
Also relevant to my #introduction - I am on the team that will be getting the first #NASA #JWST data of planets around other stars! Stay tuned for exoplanet results later this summer!
Thomas Connor@_astronoMay is that an ERS program? Or did your GO just get lucky enough to be at the start of the schedule?
@thomasconnor ERS program! I think we have the first four exoplanet observations that will be done after commissioning! Our data starts being taken July 10th and we get a transit with a different mode every four days until the 22nd 🤗
The first data from GO programs I'm on is taken on Christmas 🎄
@_astronoMay ON THE LAUNCH ANNIVERSARY?!?!?!?!
@thomasconnor 😱 I didn't even make that connection! I was just thinking about all the family time I get to "excuse" myself from in order to download our data! 😂
