@DavidBflower @drspacejunk @BBCNews You can see straight away how dustier t'Red Planet is since Mars was at opposition - that has been the problem which InSight has had to face, something @howellspace and I discuss in our article for "All About Space" magazine
@SpaceY_UK @latestinspace @NASAPersevere @PercyRover The camera is the little known Mars Acquired Global Observing Operator
What’s that ?
It’s raining Rubies and sapphires ?!
Welcome to HAT-P-7b !!
Located in the Cygnus constellation, about 1000 light years away from 🌍
On the night side of this exoplanet, high precipitation of aluminium oxide (corundum) is found in the atmosphere🔎
Why is Mars my favorite planet?
It has one of largest canyons in the Solar System (Valles Marineris), one of the largest volcanoes in the Solar System (Olympus Mons), and it’s the only known planet that is inhabited exclusively by robots!

Such fluid oscillations are also seen in other stars (like the Sun). The starquakes are analogous to earthquakes, so this field of study is called #asteroseismology
So let us look at some #space and ground-based telescopes that give us information about #pulsars via #multiwavelengthastronomy
I was running out of options for research funds in Germany 😰 But by now I had grown a sizeable network in Europe (& beyond). So what did I do next? Find out in the next post 😉
A bit on my background --> I got my undergrad in Astrophysics at @cardiffPHYSX (2009-2013) which was an awesome place to study, and got to play with @ESAHerschel data to explore star formation. (1/n)
Although a lot of Tsiolkovsky's ideas were impractical sometimes bordering on irrational, he even wrote a paper on what would later be known as the Fermi Paradox several decades before Fermi's famous chat at Los Alamos!

During galaxy mergers, gas gets compressed, which triggers bursts of star formation. In this image of the Antennae Galaxies, the pinkish light is emitted by hydrogen atoms ionized by recent star formation:
