Things have quietened enough that I'm going to share my thoughts about the detection of #phosphine on #Venus announced yesterday.In short: this is a BIG fucking deal. And here's why:(a

Very excited to share that our paper on the first detections of post-flare dimmings on stars indicative of stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) was published in @NatureAstronomy yesterday! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-021-01345-9
