A smooth galaxy from the Galaxy Zoo 2 project, classified by 39 volunteers.

A smooth galaxy from the Galaxy Zoo 2 project, classified by 39 volunteers.

A smooth galaxy, observed with the Apache Point 2.5m Telescope in the SDSS survey.

It is at redshift 0.039 (lookback time 549.7 million years) with coordinates (163.51324, 55.83029).

39 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo 2.

Extremely proud and excited to have been part of the team behind today's @eso.org news item about WASP-127 b and its crazy winds (read here: www.eso.org/public/news/...) ... but even more BLOWN AWAY (!) by the incredible animation that I didn't know was going to be attached to it!!! 🀯πŸͺπŸ”­πŸ§ͺ

Recorded during 2024, this year-spanning series of images reveals a pattern in the seasonal drift of the Sun's daily motion through planet Earth's sky. Known to some as an analemma, the figure-eight curve was captured in exposures taken only at 1pm local time on clear days from Kayseri, Turkiye. Of course the Sun's position on the 2024 solstice dates was at the top and bottom of the curve. They correspond to the astronomical beginning of summer and winter in the north. The points along the curve half-way between the solstices, but not the figure-eight curve crossing point, mark the 2024 equinoxes and the start of spring and fall. Regional peaks and dormant volcano Mount Erciyes lie along the southern horizon in the 2024 timelapse skyscape.

Happy Perihelion Day!

If you want to celebrate the exact moment, it will be at 1:28PM GMT.

That’s the moment we are closest to the Sun, and, since angular momentum is conserved, the moment we are whizzing fastest around the Sun.

Sadly, it won’t make things noticeably warmer on this chilly day! πŸ”­

Your unofficial @beerisac.bsky.social safety officer here. Prepping again for another S4 and will have the go bag with me at all times.

Pics from last year as reference. Will be at all S4 and BEER-ISAC events.

AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse There’s a strong link between proximity to AI data centers and higher levels of distorted power in residential areas

New evidence shows AI's thirst for power may be distorting the flow of power to US consumers (gift link):

Excited to be out in the field, even if it's just because of the hottest fashion trends in PPE.

hi Bluesky! I’m Madyson, a 3rd-year phd student at unc chapel hill discovering and studying young transiting planets. Maybe you saw our recent Nature paper on the discovery of my new favorite, IRAS 04125+2902 b (aka TIDYE-1b πŸ˜‰)

What generates the gravitational waves that make up the background? It is probably supermassive black-hole binaries and/or early Universe physics. We don't know yet but it is likely a combination of both! πŸ’₯

It's paper release day tomorrow! Excited to share with you all!
