Our concept of the interdisciplinary Center for Astrophysics and Geosciences of Exoplanets (CAGE) is crystallizing. It involves multiple research and educational components: 1. “Geosciences of Exoplanets for Astrophysicists” seminar series. 2. Master of Astrophysics with an exoplanet focus, including courses from the Geosciences Department. 3. Lab experiments with geoscientists to simulate outgassing on exoplanets. 4. “Exoplanets by the Lake” interdisciplinary summer school. 5. Envisioning and influencing future space missions focusing on rocky exoplanets.

One of our faculty members in the department of astronomy and astrophysics, Jason Wright, was featured on the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications "Centre County Report", where he talked about the solar eclipse on April 8. Check out this clip of Jason sharing a fun tip on how you can see some interesting shadows during the partial stage of the eclipse! You can watch the full interview at https://buff.ly/49k1sE3

I'm thrilled to share that I have successfully completed a course and project on "Predicting Stars, Galaxies, and Quasars"!

❗ Astrophysics and Cosmology Community Gateway❗ 👩🎓 Open Research Europe presents an interview with Prof. Jackson Said, Associate Professor of Space Science and Astronomy at the University of Malta and Gateway Advisor of the Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology Community Gateway on Open Research Europe, where he tells about the Gateway, his own research background, and the importance of #OpenScience in the cosmology field:https://lnkd.in/diQ-K6P7 #astronomy #astrophysics #openscience

🌠 Thrilled to announce my recent publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics: "Impact of Different Approaches for Computing Rotating Stellar Models I. The Solar Metallicity Case." 🔭 This study explores how different methods for including stellar rotation impact the evolution and fate of massive stars. Using the Geneva Stellar Evolution Code, we found significant variations in the evolution based on different rotation treatments, especially in 15 and 60 solar mass models. 💫 Our findings highlight the complexity of stellar evolution and its dependence on rotation, paving the way for more accurate stellar models. #Astronomy #Astrophysics #StellarEvolution #ScienceCommunication Georges Meynet, Sylvia Ekstrom

Solar eclipses have been changing for millions of years and they will continue to change millions of years later. Distinguished Senior Scholar and Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics Eric Feigelson discusses this phenomenon in our latest video.
