It has to be powerful enough to ionize sodium atoms on the upper atmosphere, but I have no idea what the actual number is

We had an observing run on @keckobservatory.bsky.social yesterday. Despite the pessimistic forecast, @marinabianchin.bsky.social pulled through and ended up getting abundant photons from nearby galaxies using #OSIRIS #laserguidestar. This is a gorgeous shot of our laser in action from the camera 🔭

I woke up to this beautiful photo on my email! Thank's @justtheletteru.bsky.social for sending it!

That's me and a group of amazing astronomers playing with the laser on a 10m telescope and collecting photons of luminous infrared galaxies 🌀🌌

Quando vi uma palestra semelhante na California a solução era usar gás natural ao invés de carvão e dirigir carro elétrico. Eles proporem hidroelétricas já é uma evolução.
O debate ambiental e de sustentabilidade é infinitamente mais evoluído no Brasil

Valeu pela divulgação Arthur!
Espero que a gente tenha conseguido deixar o projeto um pouquinho acessível aos não astrônomos

Besides the laser closures and some weird things with the target list, the night was smooth and we saw cute emission lines!

A sprawling, textured field of galaxies scattered across the deep black of space. It is filled with the delicate smudges and glowing cores of galaxies of many shapes, sizes and colors, as well as the bright multi-colored points of stars. The image focuses on a collection of interacting galaxies connected by delicate streams of stars. At top center lies a large elliptical galaxy that is dense and smooth, like a polished stone glowing with golden light. Like delicate spider silk or stretched taffy, these stellar bridges link the large elliptical to the few larger galaxies beneath, evidence of past collisions.

All throughout the image, thousands of galaxies gather in clusters or are spread throughout, like glittering gems strewn on a table. Some are sharp-edged and spiral, like coiled ribbons; others round and diffuse, like polished pebbles. Still others are just smudges of various colors against the black of space. The background is peppered with pinpoint stars in reds, yellows, and blues, crisp against the velvet black.

A cosmic tapestry of glowing tan and pink gas clouds with dark dust lanes. In the upper right, the Trifid Nebula resembles a small flower in space. Its soft, pinkish gas petals are surrounded by blue gas, and streaked with dark, finger-like veins of dust that divide it into three parts. It radiates a gentle, misty glow, diffuse and soft like the warmth of breath on a cold hand. To the lower left, the much larger Lagoon Nebula stretches wide like a churning sea of magenta gas, with bright blue, knotted clumps sprinkled throughout where new stars are born. Both nebulae are embedded in a soft tan backdrop of gas that is brighter on the left than on the right, etched with dark tendrils of dust and sprinkled with the pinpricks of millions of stars.

In the foreground, below and right of center, two blue spiral galaxies look like eyes beneath the entangled mass of a triple galaxy merger in the upper right. A few bright blue points of foreground stars pierce the glittering tapestry.

Aqui tem gente acreditando que não vão cortar todos os grants. Eu alertei que já vi isso acontecer. Espero que não aconteça, mas existe precedente em outros países como o Brasil

Divulgando a vaga de pósdoc que a Vivian está oferecendo aqui na UCI! Caso tenham perguntas é só chamar. O prazo para se inscrever acaba "formalmente" no dia 13 de dezembro.

Sharing the job ad from Vivian to work as a postdoc here at UCI! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Meet Cassiopeia and Stellar, just two of the many cats named after space-related words by their owners/cat parents at STScI.

For #NationalCatDay, we want to know how many of you named your feline friends after space objects! Any Jupiters, Spectras or Lunas out there? 😸 🔭 🧪

Finalmente nasceu!

Estava maturando isso desde 2021 e finalmente encontrei pessoas incríveis que se desafiaram na dublagem e consegui o apoio técnico do planetário do Rio.

Obrigada @yannamartins.bsky.social e @thespacelink.bsky.social por embarcarem nesse projeto!

Texto maravilhoso! Fiz parte de um grupo de mentoria e foi decisivo para não querer continuar a carreira aqui. A mentora disse que o laboratório dela era como uma startup e ela tinha que encontrar estratégias para captar clientes, etc... Se eu quisesse isso teria estudado administração e não física

Even living in the northern hemisphere for almost a decade now, I still have no clue what people mean by “this fall/this spring” and even less when they talk about “quarters”.

For the last one, I had to make a table and keep it in my notes because it already caused me so many issues.

Sim! Eu sempre paro por alguns segundos e começo a fazer contas mentais pra saber o que as pessoas querem dizer. Custa falar o mês?!

Como o prazo para enviar propostas para o JWST acabou ontem vou recordar a live organizada pelo @obsnacional.bsky.social (em parceria com @thespacelink.bsky.social, @catastrofisica.bsky.social e outros) sobre buracos negros e as possibilidades do JWST

Dois anos dessas fotos... Dois anos que vim de mala e cuia (bomba, erva-mate e café bom também) para um país onde nunca antes havia botado os pés... Dois anos que me despedi do meu grupo de pesquisa (que claramente não sabem usar o Photoshop) e de amigas maravilhosas ❤️

New Eye on the Universe This is "New Eye on the Universe" by Terri Randall on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

Como estou recebendo um fluxo de seguidores, mesmo sem fazer divulgação de astronomia em nenhuma rede social, vou compartilhar alguns vídeos e podcasts que participei no passado

Um dos melhores serviços na econômica (único jeito que eu viajo) foi da Edelweiss: vôo curto e serviram refeição completa. A united é boa em comparação com as outras, mas é no máximo uma bolachinha seca ou comida com um sabor de conservante...
Latam no BR foi só tristeza na parte de alimentação
