The 2025 Santorini unrest unveiled: Rebounding magmatic dike intrusion with triggered seismicity Magmatic intrusion in Earth’s crust can lead to hazardous volcanic eruptions, but the physical processes involved remain largely hidden from direct observation.

New! We study the disruptive 2025 earthquake unrest near #Santorini using machine-learning derived seismicity as virtual stress meters at depth. We show the unrest was due to a magma dike intrusion, imaging in detail a complex, rebounding process of dike propagation.

Four dust shells in Wolf-Rayet Apep expand away from three central stars that appear as a single pinpoint of light. The shells are curved, and the interior shell looks like a backward lowercase e shape.

Webb has revealed for the first time that there are four shells of dust around this pair of Wolf-Rayet stars, which are known as Apep.

A graphic of the Extremely Large Telescope with one 8.4m Very large Telescope sitting on ONE of the Nasmyth platforms!

Many #exoplanet astronomers are at #ESO headquarters near Munich to talk about #exoplanets with the Extremely Large Telescope #ELT this week - first light in 2029/2030 - you can put one of the 8.4m VLT telescopes on the instrument platform of the #ELT… gulp! ☄️ #astrodon Follow along on #ExoELT

Plot of angular separation versus achievable contrast for several astronomical instruments, including VLTI and its upgrades.

M. Nowak discussing synergies with VLT Interferometer (VLTI) and #ELT at #ExoELT - ELT has the >30m aperture for sensitivity, but VLTI combines all 4 VLT telescopes over a 200m baseline for better angular resolution, complementing sensitivity of ELT #astrodon #astrosci

Updating my Arctic amplification slides... Pick any month and you will see accelerated warming.

So, even if there are linear trends elsewhere, there has to be an acceleration globally, if somewhat more muted compared to the larger changes happening at high latitude. #climate 🧪

Excellent, exciting new paper by M. Graham et al. who find the newest record holder for most energetic flare from a supermassive black hole, nicknamed “Superman”. The previous record holder was “Scary Barbie,” first reported by our group at Purdue in Subrayan et al. 2023.

ICYMI, VLT observations have revealed the unique shape of a star’s explosion just a day after detection.

It's the first time that astronomers unveil the shape of the explosion at its earliest stage, providing insights into the deaths of massive stars.
