@bibianaprinoth.chIn case you have missed it, we are hosting a super cool workshop on #exoplanets studies in Garching, Vitacura and Nice (YES, 3 places at the same time!!!) in November.
Bridging Horizons: Harnessing ESO's current facilities for the dawn of exoplanet population studies
Dates: **2-6 November 2026**

@prepexcellence.bsky.socialYou can freeze water by heating it up—here is the wild physics behind 'hot ice'.
🧊 Under extreme pressure, water molecules lock into solid ice even at thousands of degrees!

@bowieseminar.bsky.socialWhat can fractionation during atmospheric escape tell us about the atmospheric composition? Matthäus Schulik has the answers. #exoplanets #astronomy
@cosmicoptics.zovintus.comCould LHS 1140 b hold the key to alien life? Just 48 light-years away, this fascinating world boasts a deep liquid ocean and a nitrogen atmosphere, making it a prime target in the search for habitable exoplanets!
