This is how close the #ContrerasFire came to telescopes on Kitt Peak.
However, as of this afternoon the fire is 100% contained.
Thank you, firefighters, for saving the observatory.

Not the outcome I was expecting to see when I left this committee in 2017, but it basically stopped around 2018, and things have moved on to the more regional funding committees now, so this was kinda inevitable as a formal closure... https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Resolution:Dissolving_the_Funds_Dissemination_Committee

Pointed letter in @NatureAstronomy@twitter.com by @OgNimaeb@twitter.com & others on astronomers' responsibility to respond to climate crisis, re the lack of a [fully] hybrid @EAS_meeting@twitter.com. Response cites cost and partial hybrid access but I still feel an opportunity to show climate leadership was missed

A brush fire that has been dubbed the #ContrerasFire is burning near @KittPeakNatObs@twitter.com. The observatory was evacuated at 4:45 pm MST today. We’re grateful to the firefighters hard at work on the mountain. Safety remains our top priority.
