Brilliant news from Birkbeck, a pioneer in astrobiology-focused research with a long teaching legacy in this area.
New astrobiology MSc that can be studied on campus or online, full-time or part-time!

For the Exocast #exoplanet #news this month we:
🛰️ Consider the first @NASAWebb transmission spectrum of a small planet.
☀️ Peek at @NASAWebb phase curves of WASP-121b & WASP-43b.
🌋 Ponder serpentinization as a source of energy at hydrothermal vents.

Excellent news! Now two MSc programmes in Astrobiology in the UK. It's the highest local concentration of MSc programmes in astrobiology in the galactic neighbourhood (possibly).

A late surge from #Proximab clinches the #ExoCup2022 title for the terrestrials! Commisserations to #WASP39b and supporters, but some great JWST data on the way for this planet soon should mean an even stronger showing in the cup next year?
#Proximab is your #ExoCup2022 Champion #exoplanet! 🏆
Our closest neighbour in its temperate orbit around the small cool Proxima Centuri pulled the the stars light & tugged on our heart
It is officially* the greatest exoplanet of 2022👑
Condolences to #WASP39b
What a great final!

Last few hours to vote for your #ExoCup2022 champion!
🚨 #ExoCup2022 FINAL! 🚨
Which #exoplanet will be crowned 👑 the champion of 2022 & take the trophy🏆?
#WASP39b a low density giant w/ a jam packed atmosphere of molecules
OR
#Proximab our coolest nearest neighbour
We are gonna need some science with these ones so get sharing!

How it started: 1st 3 transits ever recorded of #WASP39b by @WASPplanets survey, back in 2009:

To kick off the facts we are sharing our @exo_cast cards one last time
Tell us what fact got you voting in #ExoCup2022!
Are we cool or hot, small or big, bright or dim, atmosphere or not, close or far?
You have 48 hours to decide!!!!
