Interesting new project in citizen science, from the CHEOPS space telescope. I'm involved there as a volunteer. There are, also, further interesting variable sources, around targets preselected for potential new exoplanets.

Our climate has been changing dramatically due to our dependence on fossil fuels. That’s a basic fact! Thanks for sharing the connection to exoplanets but more importantly providing some hope for the future @climatebook.bsky.social in your talk last night!

I remain not a fan of the practices behind LLMs, and skeptical about a lot of their publicity, but it's really undeniable that they can help someone that knows the concepts and is grounded in their questions to push further that what they could otherwise do #exoplanets #astronomy

The process includes a visualization better and more informative that what many institutions manage to do for our discoveries #exoplanets #astronomy

The finding itself is something most likely easily attainable with standard tools, but that an amateur+Claude managed to find the signal and go through a lot of the validation steps to turn it into a proper candidate that justified a DDT (#100), is somewhat unexpected #exoplanets #astronomy

So... a (non-astronomer) redditor found a candidate planetary system, hosting a 1.4 Re planet, using LLM-assistance and it seems legit enough to get a TESS DDT approved. #exoplanets #astronomy

🔭 💡 #Exoplanets can be up to a billion times dimmer than their host star, making them difficult to detect.

To capture images of exoplanets, this design isolates and eliminates light from the star and recomposes the optical field after the light is rejected.

Sub-Neptunes and the potential Hycean worlds have rightfully garnered a lot of interest. Edouard Barrier explains how convection and the runaway greenhouse effect may or may not shape these atmospheres. #exoplanets #astronomy
