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”... 🧪🔭

👋🏽 #HiSciSky 🔭🧪 I am an astronomer; I study how stars form and how their rotation changes as a function of age and mass. I work for Caltech-IPAC/IRSA, one of NASA's archives. I run a program (NITARP) that partners small groups of (largely) HS educators w/ astronomer for a year-long research project.
