🚀Kicking off #AAS247 in style!
@SpaceTelescope hosted a workshop on the #NASARoman #Nexus—a powerful cloud-based platform for exploring its petabyte-scale data. Attendees dove into new workflows, cutting-edge data analysis, and real-time collaboration.
How will you use Nexus?

Nice work! Always glad to see SN2022jli getting the attention it deserves!
Congratulations to Professor Michele Dougherty FRS, who has become the first woman appointed as Astronomer Royal in the post's 350-year history.

Congratulations! First of many from Teide!
Supernova eyeballing == macrodata refinement
A cartoon with a stick figure pointing at a whiteboard with an image of the night sky. A small patch on that image is amplified several times until one can read the name of a star and its distance. A text at the bottom reads: “Cosmology news: new telescopes are finally powerful enough to read the little labels next to stars showing how far away they are.”
To clarify: this is only possible thanks to adaptive optics, which corrects atmospheric turbulence and allows us to read those tiny labels 🔭.

Some nice work from those involved…
Enjoying Washington (during breaks in thesis writing and job apps)
I wish I was as successful at research as ResearchGate thinks I am.
