Exciting news in multi-messenger astrophysics: the Swift/GUANO team has seen a GRB-like signal possibly associated with a black hole merger! 🔭🧪⚛️
By chance this happens once every 12 years (which is low but not zero). We'll need more observations to verify all this.

To accompany all those BlueSky science/academia #starterpacks, let’s share introductions to the literature of our fields

Gravitational-wave papers (created with observablehq.com/@guillaume-l...)

When the intro starts "We have opened a new window" you know you can skip a couple of paragraphs

as an experiment, I posted the same post to twitter and bluesky.

here is the time series of engagements (sum of comments, reposts, likes) from the two platforms.

Note that I have 39K followers on twitter and 7K here, so engagement per follower here is more than 10 times higher here on bluesky.
