Excited to be making the space nerd pilgrimage: catching the midnight showing of Interstellar being re-released in IMAX 🍿🥤🚀🪐
Half the theater look like they weren’t born yet when the movie first came out but nevertheless so excited for this!

I’m OFFICIAL y’all!
Well actually I’ve been official for a few months now but this seals the deal 😂
Loving my gig at Lick Observatory! Come by for a tour & view through the Great 36” Lick Refractor before we close up for winter 🔭

I’ve set up a retail shop for my #astrophotography!
If you’re in the market for some fun astronomy-themed phone cases, notebooks, and more, check out queerastro.space 🔭
I plan to keep adding more to it over time. Next up: tote bags!

Lastly, I did some #solar observing with my Unistellar scope. Here’s a short animation of multiple sunspot clusters over the course of 5 hours on Tuesday September 3, 2024. I took 1 image per hour. As you can see, there was lots of activity that day! 🔭🧪 #astronomy

I also collected data on a new #supernova: ZTF24abejmqz. It was first detected just a few days ago on September 1, 2024 in the constellation Cepheus 🎆
I was able to measure its magnitude at 12.29 +/- 0.07. 🔭🧪
