Consider the context:1933 Laureate PaulDirac-one of the founders of quantum physics, is reported to have claimed at his AwardCeremony that there would be no use of his discovery!!
SurpriseSurprise..but he was a theorist after all-that response of his has certainly been proved wrong(2/2) #nobelprize

So now the special UCBerkeley 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐭 will be Professor John Clarke's!!! (The special perk that UCB offers its Nobel Laureates..😝😝😝)
Bringing a quantum physical effect into the macroscopic world in the laboratory, which has then lead on to it coming into our everyday, is no mean feat! (1/2)

From @noirlabastro.bsky.social: It’s day 3 of Black Hole Week! ✨ We’re highlighting the Gemini Observatory, operated by NSF NOIRLab. Gemini North found the closest black hole to 🌎, 10x more massive than the ☀️. Go to noirlab.edu/public/produ..., print, and enjoy! #astronomy

Imagine! A Dark Sky protector advocating from Dubai, no less!!! Just like amidst the darkest of darkness a bright spot can always be found, "amidst the brightest of areas Dark Sky Defenders can be found..." so says the protector.... @astro @astronomy @astrophotography

My 2nd post in this thread vanished!
It had information on a free app by Astro enthusiasts in India called Zero Shadow Day that gives you the date and time of Zero Shadow Noon for any location.... @astro #astro #astronomy

And Hawaii certainly always done its bit - and will again in May....they have given it a beautiful (and accurate) name besides, viz. Lahaina Noon
....[We should call it Zero Shadow Noon rather than Zero Shadow Day...]
(4/4) #Honolulu #astro #astronomy

The local newspapers did their bit - nice (3/4) @hindustan-times.bsky.social

But astro enthusiasts here in India have created a Zero Shadow Day app no less...(2/4) #astro #astronomy

It was the ZERO SHADOW moment in my town! Lucky to be within ±23° lattitude!!.... [This moment doesnt get much publicity globally - because its only us tropics people that see it -most twitterrati are clearly outside this zone!😜😜] (1/4) #astro #astronomy @fcain.universetoday.com @starstryder.space

Not sure my whole thread of 5 is visible but thats my take& Im sticking w it #astro #exoplanets #astrophysics @fcain.universetoday.com @clarakm.bsky.social

A brave attempt at visualisation of the construct is cool, and the construct sounds cool too but will we ever know if thats what it is? Well written as always by Clara Moskowitz @clarakm.bsky.social #blackholes #astrophyiscs #astronomy

Carl Sagan explains how the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round and calculated its circumference over 2,000 years ago.

A new post is up “Balancing Light and Dark: IES Recommended Light Levels for Safety, Astronomy, and Environmental Harmony” I tried merge IES lighting practises with IDAs aim to reduce light pollution, be kind if you find an error, let me know be for you jump on me! 😉 #lightpollution #astro

Starting sooon... This week's special Tuesday recording of Astronomy Cast. We're looking at the Swift telescopes multiwavelength science. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXEO...
