Another #AAS247 🔭 in the books = another wonderful, whirlwind of exciting astronomy happening and coming soon! 💨
From topics like Roman, Euclid, and SPHEREx, to NExScI, NED, IRSA, NITARP, Firefly, PRIMA, and SHERA — there was something for everyone. Thank you to all!

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will map the entire southern sky every few nights
The team will unveil the inaugural image on 23 June; in the meantime, the researchers are keeping quiet about what it shows. “We’ve been very serious about keeping it capped, so that we can do a big reveal”... 🧪🔭
