NExScI is thrilled to welcome @Caltech President-Elect Ray Jayawardhana! As a grad student, @DrRayJay attended the very first Michelson Interferometry Summer School in 1999. Today, it lives on as the Sagan Summer Workshop—and both the workshop and RayJay are still going strong.🚀

All of Pandora's mission data will be archived at @NExScI_IPAC !

Yesterday was a big day for Pandora! Now, our newest exoplanet explorer will undergo a month of commissioning before embarking on its one-year prime mission — stay tuned for mission news! More stellar launch pics: go.nasa.gov/4aXk7u2



At #AAS247, IPAC scientist @astrofaisst presented at a press conference on January 6. His work shows that early galaxies are maturing faster than researchers previously believed. "It's like seeing 2-year-old children act like teenagers," said Faisst. ipac.caltech.edu/news/young-gal…
