How is the Carl Sagan Institute continuing Carl Sagan’s research legacy? Here’s one of the biggest ways: measuring the colors of life! Learn more at our Bluesky thread: bsky.app/profile/carlsa…
The Carl Sagan Institute is turning 10! To celebrate over the next few months, we'll post about Carl Sagan's scientific papers, the search for alien life from both early- and later-career CSI researchers, the wacky planets we've found along the way, & how to protect our own!
Have you seen Rubin's first images? Rubin has the largest digital camera in the world, and it's ready to revolutionize astronomy! Over the next decade, it will discover over 37 BILLION objects! Learn more about these images (Rubin vs. other telescopes): bsky.app/profile/carlsa…
Thank you to former CSI researcher Dr. Ryan MacDonald for the insightful presentation at CSI's coffee hour last week! His team has re-analyzed earlier data, finding no evidence for life on K2-18 b: arxiv.org/abs/2501.18477 Read more: bsky.app/profile/carlsa…
Has JWST found life on another world? K2-18 b's atmosphere may have dimethyl sulfide, a molecule produced by photosynthesizing plankton on Earth—but proving that this sign is real, and that life is the only explanation, is a difficult task. Read more: bsky.app/profile/carlsa…
Sights from the total lunar eclipse in Ithaca, NY this morning, hosted by the Cornell Astronomical Society (CAS) at Fuertes Observatory! ithacajournal.com/story/news/202… Image 2: CAS Vice President Andrew Lewis with the 102-year-old telescope
In the wee hours of the morning tomorrow, the Americas will experience a "Blood Worm Moon!" "Worm" just refers to a full Moon in March. This particular full moon is also a lunar eclipse, where the Moon passes into Earth's shadow! Check the start times for your location!
On Sunday we witnessed a wonderful Cornell Symphony Orchestra concert, featuring music inspired by the TRAPPIST-1 system of (potentially Earth-like) planets! Stay tuned for the full recording of Cheryl Engelhardt's piece! instagram.com/p/DGuBNp0NHhI/…
