This is very weird - we don’t have to make stuff up, because the Universe is always surprising! Beautiful result Ilaria!
Illaria Caiazzo, a postdoctoral scholar research associate at @PMACaltech, explains how her team used @ztfsurvey to discover a very unusual "two-faced" white dwarf – one side is all helium and the other side, hydrogen.

I just donated - astronomy gives me so much joy, and this is a lovely way to share it. I still love it when someone sees Saturn or the Moon for the first time through a telescope. More often than not, they say "wow!". Those views really are that cool.
We're 15% of the way to our goal!! Thank you to everyone amplifying our cause -- many astronomers have been donating and thanking us for embarking on this mission. We thank YOU for being a part of our science community. It takes a village to make progress! thesciencehaven.org/stellard…

My local #ldnont library is Landon - it’s the heart of our local community, and I use my card to access scads of audiobooks regularly. Kudos @Irondequoit Library for the evidence-based smack down.
Did you catch that op-ed at @Forbes over the weekend stating "Amazon Should Replace Local Libraries to Save Taxpayers Money"?
We very much disagree, and we've got the facts in this thread to prove it.
