Kudos to @CurtinUni researchers A/Prof @SpaceKatarina, PhD student Andrea Rajšić, Dr @SansomScience & PhD student Tanja Neidhart - the only Aussies involved in this project - for their contribution to @NASA's Mars #InSight Mission! 👇

What's that? Oh, just the sound of new craters being made on Mars. Sound up for the latest from the @NASAInSight lander, whose seismometer picked up the signal of a meteoroid hitting the Martian atmosphere, breaking up, and hitting the ground: go.nasa.gov/3UlIlTT

Earlier today @NASAHubble got some more images of the Lucy target Orus. It will be another 10 years before Lucy is close enough to get a much better view than the view we are getting today with Hubble!

For the first time, scientists @CERN have observed Higgs bosons decaying into bottom quarks—a major discovery. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…

LHC Scientists Detect Most Favored Higgs Decay

Scientists now know the fate of the vast majority of all Higgs bosons produced in the LHC, and are a step closer to understanding how the Higgs and its associated field enable fundamental particles...

M. Güdel emphasising you cant understand planet habitability without understanding the co-evolution of the host star. Many conditions need to be satisfied to allow for life to exist over billions of years! #IAU2018
