Jeremiah Ostriker, Who Plumbed Dark Forces That Shape Universe, Dies at 86 There’s more to the universe than meets the eye, he found. His studies led astronomy to the dark side, changing our view of what’s out there.

RIP Jerry Ostriker, one of our most creative and influential theoretical astrophysicists.

The magnetic and turbulent kinetic energy density relation holds across all ISM phases and is more fundamental than the magnetic field-density relation... see arxiv.org/pdf/2503.236....

Not well-timed...with all the 1st April papers...but now also with the Ghiblified version...

ARC has β€œpaused” future rounds of grant schemes pending outcomes of its NCGP Policy Review.

All schemes previously scheduled to open before 1 July this year will go ahead.

But next year’s Laureates, Industry Fellowships & Discovery Indigenous won’t.
