Asked the new #DeepSeek model about the Tiananmen Square massacre and got a surprising answer...

A smooth galaxy from the Galaxy Zoo 2 project, classified by 39 volunteers.
A smooth galaxy, observed with the Apache Point 2.5m Telescope in the SDSS survey.
It is at redshift 0.039 (lookback time 549.7 million years) with coordinates (163.51324, 55.83029).
39 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo 2.
Extremely proud and excited to have been part of the team behind today's @eso.org news item about WASP-127 b and its crazy winds (read here: www.eso.org/public/news/...) ... but even more BLOWN AWAY (!) by the incredible animation that I didn't know was going to be attached to it!!! π€―πͺππ§ͺ
Snow-watching
Recorded during 2024, this year-spanning series of images reveals a pattern in the seasonal drift of the Sun's daily motion through planet Earth's sky. Known to some as an analemma, the figure-eight curve was captured in exposures taken only at 1pm local time on clear days from Kayseri, Turkiye. Of course the Sun's position on the 2024 solstice dates was at the top and bottom of the curve. They correspond to the astronomical beginning of summer and winter in the north. The points along the curve half-way between the solstices, but not the figure-eight curve crossing point, mark the 2024 equinoxes and the start of spring and fall. Regional peaks and dormant volcano Mount Erciyes lie along the southern horizon in the 2024 timelapse skyscape.

Happy Perihelion Day!
If you want to celebrate the exact moment, it will be at 1:28PM GMT.
Thatβs the moment we are closest to the Sun, and, since angular momentum is conserved, the moment we are whizzing fastest around the Sun.
Sadly, it wonβt make things noticeably warmer on this chilly day! π

Your unofficial @beerisac.bsky.social safety officer here. Prepping again for another S4 and will have the go bag with me at all times.
Pics from last year as reference. Will be at all S4 and BEER-ISAC events.

Lazy caturday, sleeping on top of the snake hab where it's warm
Im so excited to have talked about my research on Black Holes in this episode of NASAβs Curious Universe Podcast! You can watch the full episode here youtu.be/sh5D811Wals and on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel!!

Eyes on path
Excited to be out in the field, even if it's just because of the hottest fashion trends in PPE.

OneLoopBispectrum computes the one-loop bispectrum of galaxies in redshift space using Mathematica for kernel simplification and Python for interpolation.#astronomy
hi Bluesky! Iβm Madyson, a 3rd-year phd student at unc chapel hill discovering and studying young transiting planets. Maybe you saw our recent Nature paper on the discovery of my new favorite, IRAS 04125+2902 b (aka TIDYE-1b π)

A graphic comparing gravitational wave background sources. The left shows a black hole binary and the right shows some bubbles. The text on the left reads "SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE BINARIES Extraordinarily massive black holes in the center of galaxies orbiting eachother, GW Signal: Anisotropic Different in different directions Allows us to study: Galaxy formation, mass distribution of Universe, gravity" The text on the right reads "PRIMORDIAL UNIVERSE PHYSICS Colisions between 'bubbles' in the hot, dense, 'boiling' early Universe soup *+ GW Signal: Isotropic - Same in all directions Allows us to study: The Big Bang, early Universe, particle physics"
What generates the gravitational waves that make up the background? It is probably supermassive black-hole binaries and/or early Universe physics. We don't know yet but it is likely a combination of both! π₯
It's paper release day tomorrow! Excited to share with you all!
See ya later #fluffy
