🚨New book announcement!🚨 Award-winning astronomer Emily Levesque’s (@emsque) STARLIGHT IS FALLING, coming 2027, offers an expansive, eye-opening account of cosmic discovery through one of the greatest scientific debates of all time: the precise value of the Hubble constant.

Semester done!
And the tradition of giving out <The Last Stargazers> by @emsque as parting gifts continues.
I aim to use my class to ensure they keep printing the Chinese version.

Eclipses aren’t just opportunities for incredible sights. Generations of researchers have used them to study phenomena ranging from the sun itself to the fabric of the universe. @UW @emsque talks about what scientists have learned by studying eclipses.
