At least 27 white papers in support of AtLAST were submitted to ESO's Expanding Horizons - a call to select a new ground-based telescope/facility (or upgrade to an existing one) that will transform astronomy, highlighting the scientific potential of AtLAST ✨

A radio relic mimicking a radio halo? by @paola-dominguez.bsky.social+ (w/ @jzuhone.bsky.social @emstar.bsky.social myself+)
This could be the case of MACSJ0018.5+1626, where numerical simulations show that the radio emission could be due to a relic seen face-on

Unfortunately this doesn't get into the Ritchey-Chrétien design variant specifically!

¡2025, qué gran año! ✨
Ha sido un año lleno de ciencia, que empezó con la celebración de nuestro 25º aniversario 🥳
¡Felices fiestas y feliz año nuevo 2026! 🚀
In case you missed it, yesterdays AtLAST Forum talks are now available on our YouTube channel! Links to both excellent talks here:
Thomas Morris: “A comprehensive simulator for single-dish millimeter-wave Telescopes” youtu.be/RCgbVTShl8U?...
Jonas Wurzinger: “maria goes NIFTY” youtu.be/Hcu7s3J6pm4
In fairness to Poland, their "ketchup" is more like pizza sauce (and isn't disgusting like ketchup).
Researcher position available at the University of Oslo to conduct synthesis and characterization of alloys including feasibility and sustainability under realistic conditions envisioned for AtLAST, deadline 30 april 🔭 🧪 #hydrogen #renewables

Kicking off the AtLAST2 kickoff! @atlastdesign.bsky.social
The next AtLAST forum is planned for this coming Thursday March 6th at 14 UTC. Talks: 1) telescope design, 2) the science shaping the design, followed by an open discussion. For details and zoom link check www.atlast.uio.no/news-and-eve...
In case you missed it, the recordings of the talks are now available on our YouTube channel 🧪🔭 www.youtube.com/@AtLASTdesign
The physics REU program at Duke has been canceled this year. It was one of two programs in the country that enabled students to do research at CERN.

It happened. Trump and Elon cut our Dept of Defense grant on climate, adaptation, migration, and conflict.

@simonsobs.bsky.social is happening!
Almost a year later, I found that AtLAST was mentioned in 2 news stories shortly after we posted the design paper:

phys.org/news/2024-03...
too funny 😂
AtLAST is now also on YouTube! We have uploaded the AtLAST forum talks from yesterday 🧪🔭
Wow...
That makes sense!
It's not just painted blue to look cool?
The high is -30 C these days
