Two out of 14 - the 1 in 7 odds checked out 😅

So excited about the large #jwstgoals program!! More gorgeous ULIRGs / galaxy mergers coming your way soon following our ERS and Cycle 1 programs! 🎉🥳

Can't wait to see the new #JWST episode of #PBS #PBSNOVA premiering tonight where our #jwstgoals research (among others) will be highlighted -

That's me gesturing at our results off-screen -- watch for my #UCI group's cameo in the show as well! 😊

#EDIT: it's already live via the link above!

Another one of our #jwstgoals #ers1328 galaxies -- #NGC7469 -- is now featured on the ESA blog as Picture of the Month 🤩

See Armus+22 for the detailed AGN spectrum; U+22 for the AGN outflow, Lai+22 for the dust grain sizes, and Bohn+22 for the young stars in the ring!

And this is how I had imagined astronomy could bring world peace... 😂

"This new [JWST] image of a pair of galaxies, known to astronomers as II ZW 96, was first previewed for Vice President Kamala Harris and French President Emmanuel Macron during a visit to NASA Headquarters in Washington Wednesday, Nov. 30. "
