Vean, tengo que confesar algo. Yo no estaba preparado para las miradas de odio a las que me expuso mi madre, cuando desde niño me enseñó a comer el tamal con mayonesa.

En días donde las noticias te pueden deprimir, ver la historia del vendedor de frutas musulmán que corrió a enfrentar al tirador asesinando judíos 🥹 me hace honestamente tener fe de que detrás de toda la maldad que somos capaces, también está la capacidad de ser más que nuestros prejuicios

Join us on a trip to the region between the Scorpius and Ophiuchus constellations, home to tens of rogue planets.

Rogue planets do not orbit a star but roam freely. Since they are not illuminated by nearby stars, they are hard to discover.

a NEW PAPER led the incomparable Dr. Elizabeth Iles (accepted by PASA) quantifies how astronomers might be biased in how they judge galactic bars

Turns out that male astronomers are consistently more optimistic than their peers when it comes to measuring length

A stellar density map of a barred spiral galaxy viewed face-on. The image shows a dark background with a central bright, elongated feature (the bar) surrounded by fainter spiral arms. The color bar on the right indicates the log10 Stellar Density in units of solar mass per square parsec, ranging from 0 (black/dark) to 4 (white/bright). The x and y axes are labeled in kpc (kiloparsecs), spanning from -10 to 10. Overlaid on the image are several highlighted regions: a central white, bright feature is enclosed by a dashed cyan ellipse representing the full Bar region. A smaller, cyan dashed box labeled Inner-bar is located along the bar's major axis, excluding the ends. Two symmetrically placed, dashed teal boxes labeled Bar-ends are located near the extremities of the bar. This visualization highlights the key components of the galaxy's bar structure.

In a shocking reality check, @wired.com is not, in fact, bankrolled by “donations from far left organizations.”

Finally found time to process my photo of the Small Magellan Cloud next to the Tucanae Globular Cluster in LRGBH from Atacama desert. This one is closer to my heart because is the only galaxy I have seen with my naked eyes (other than the Milky Way). #Astrophotography 🔭

You will never be able to make "data driven" decisions until you realize just how much your decisions are driven by emotions: fear of missing out, defensiveness of your favorite idea, apprehension over something unusual.

That's because there's no such thing as "the data" - only interpretations.

Our galaxy is full of clouds of dust and gas. We can guess that they probably move, but it's hard to tell for sure. Until now!

A groundbreaking new paper by Martin Piecka et al. at @univie.ac.at presents the first *ever* direct measurement of the proper motion of the ISM! 🔭☄️🧪 #galactic
Their Figure 2, showing the densest part of the Corona Australis cloud between 2017 (dark red) to 2021 (dark yellow), with two epochs in between. The entire bottom-right of the cloud is consistently moving towards the bottom and left.
