Edge-on spiral galaxy angled pointing lower left to upper right. It's glowing with a bright core that's cut with the dark veins of dust clouds. The background is peppered with a myriad of colorful stars and distant galaxies in black space.

A face-on spiral with a bright core and a single thin arm wrapping all the way around, almost looking like a ring. Two bright blue stars beam above and to the lower left of the galaxy, with a third yellow star to the lower right. The background is peppered with a myriad of colorful stars and distant galaxies in black space.

Happy birthday, Vera Rubin! 🥳✨

What better way to celebrate than with NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's view of galaxies SHE studied?

NGC 4343, 4526, 4535, and 4378 are just a few gems from our Cosmic Treasure Chest. Explore them and more at skyviewer.app 🔭🧪

Thanks @Jenn🩷

Great explanation of the largest black hole merger ever observed using gravitational wave detectors.

A larger area of stars in the night sky.

A view of the Plough or Big Dipper in the night sky with a mass of clouds in the lower right corner with light reflecting off of them.

Focusing on the positive; check out the views of the night sky from my skylights at our new house in South Oxfordshire. I cannot wait for winter!

Same. No shame.

Ugh, so base.

I love visiting Nara except when the deer bite your back. Otherwise, good times. 😆

Happy Birthday Elizabeth! Mmm, I love chai lattes. Cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Sweet. 🤎🎉🎂

I am a huge fan of Pride and Prejudice, and now it’s in SPACE! I really need this book. 👩🏼‍🚀📕 🫦 #AMustHave

It does! 🪼😎

We leave Sunday! We want to be there for the reception. Thank you @nam25-durham.bsky.social - looking forward to it! 🤩

Not that we should just run away from our problems, although there is a really great comedy sketch on that (see: Monty Python), but consider that America is a part of a larger world where one can have a life. 1/2

NAM is the @royalastrosoc.bsky.social National Astronomy Meeting - 5 days bringing together the astronomy community from many different areas of the field to share their research and build connections!

Remember to register to be part of NAM before the 20th June (6th June for presenters)!

😆 The comments are pretty funny too.

Curious to hear this talk especially since #NAM2025 @nam25-durham.bsky.social will be in Durham this year! RAS’ @royalastrosoc.bsky.social first AGM was @durham-university.bsky.social at Durham University - Ahead of the times! 🔭✨

Nice.

Oh really? Can Obama run for VP? I do like Walz, but dream team would be Harris/Obama.

“I just figured out why @howardlutnick is indifferent to the stock market and the economy crashing. He and Cantor are long bonds. He profits when our economy implodes. It’s a bad idea to pick a Secretary of Commerce whose firm is levered long fixed income. It’s an irreconcilable conflict of interest.”

I don’t even know what to say here. We’re talking about a generational posting crashout. Lmfao NOW you’re concerned about conflicts of interest.

Remember: Republicans in Congress can put a stop to this at any time.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"
