#PlanetInktober Day 1: Earth's Moon

Day One, here we go!

The prompt today was Earth’s Moon, and anyone in astronomy who is also online probably thinks of Rose DF when they think of the Moon. So today’s zine is for Rose.

La Luna: a story of a girl and the Moon.

One day, a girl was born. But growing up wasn’t easy. All she wanted to do was learn, but she had no access to education, no access to science.

But every night, she looked up, and Luna was there. Every night she wondered what it was. How did it get there?

As tine passed and she grew, she never stopped loving the Moon.

Even as life continued throwing her curveballs.

Until finally, she could enroll in a physics degree. Now she can study how the world works, about the stars and yes, the Moon.

And someday soon, she’ll look from the Moon back at Earth a physicist, astronomer. Astronaut.

Guest Blog Post! Summarizing How the Planet Nine Debate Has Evolved

I recently had the exciting opportunity to write a blog post for Emily Lakdawalla of The Planetary Society!

The post summarizes a session at the recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Division of Planetary Science in Provo, Utah. Specifically, the session was all about the mysterious (and still hypothetical) new planet proposed in the outer solar system. To learn more, go check out the post!
