Mirror, mirror, reflecting our [LASER] beam...
What is the loudest [gravitational wave] signal that we've seen?

It’s #GW250114!

(Yes, it’s been two weeks since it was announced, but I can still celebrate! 🎉 )

JWST slays with this bisexual lighting for the super fascinating bullet cluster 😍🌈
Hold on to your butt because I am OBSESSED with this new JWST image 😍😍😍

This is the bullet cluster, and what you’re looking at is actually three different types of data that provide some of the strongest evidence for dark matter out there… (1/n) 🔭🧪

Publication day! With @sarinastro.bsky.social , Eric Howell, @plasky.bsky.social and Eric Thrane, we explore a hypothetical coincident neutron star-black hole merger and fast radio burst. We hope this work helps pave the way for future multimessenger detections! 🔭🧪⚛️

Quantifying the coincidence between gravitational waves and fast radio bursts from neutron star-black hole mergers
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious astrophysical transients whose origin and mechanism remain unclear. Compact object mergers may be a promising channel to produce some FRBs. Neutron star--black ...

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

The most shocking part of this photo are the words that have not been painted over as yet.

They aren't even all "DEI" words. And yet, they are being wiped away.

A re-write of history's lessons, the removal of the things that build a functioning society, to please the Emperor.
Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻
