Revolutionary new space telescope @4most-eu.bsky.social has captured its first data from the universe.
Our scientists are part of the team behind the super-scope and say it’ll reveal how galaxies and black holes formed.

Researchers at the University of Portsmouth and UFRGS in Brazil say the cosmic behemoth is close to the theoretical upper limit of what is possible in the universe and is 10,000 times heavier than the black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy.

AT 2018dyk: tidal disruption event or active galactic nucleus? Follow-up observations of an extreme coronal line emitter with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
ABSTRACT. We present fresh insights into the nature of the tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate AT 2018dyk. AT 2018dyk has sparked a debate in the litera

Hey everyone! Its time for a paper thread! My first here on Bluesky 😁
This time on the weird and wonderful transient AT 2018dyk 😎
You can read along in this thread, or if you'd prefer to get straight to the paper you can find it ...

Sarah’s rules of looking for life with only chemical signatures:
1) the smaller the molecule(s) the more likely they can also be produced by abiotic processes
2) one molecule, if it can be produced by any abiotic process, will never be enough to definitively claim detection of life

An astonishing headline reporting on new observations from a team led to Nikku Madhusudhan claims they’ve found ‘hints of life’ on a planet orbiting a dwarf star some 124 light years away. What’s going on? (1/n) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🔭 🧪
Promising hints of life found on distant planet K2-18b
Scientists find new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life.
