    Scientists ‘hear’ cosmic hum from gravitational waves
  2. An international team including #astronomers from the University of Turku reveals the origin of a #thermonuclear #supernova #explosion. Strong emission lines of #helium and the first detection of such a supernova in radio waves show that the exploding white dwarf #star had a #helium-rich companion.

  3. "Astronomen der Universität Potsdam ist es gelungen, eine der global ersten Helligkeitsmessungen der erst am Freitagabend entdeckten Supernova SN2023ixf im Sternbild Ursa Major durchzuführen. Es ist der hellste entdeckte Ausbruch seit mehr als zehn Jahren in der Galaxie Messier 101. Eine Medieninformation der Universität Potsdam (UP)."

    I'm too ~~old~~ #experienced to care much for the "Heresy! Unbeliever!" crusades around technical subjects. Do what works.

    The test is: (1) does it #work? (2) does it improve #expressiveness, so the author's intent is clear? (3) does it result in less code, or better #organized #code, or other positive attributes?

    If "yes" to all 3, definitely do it. 1 or 2, think about it.

  7. Astronomers: Omega Centauri - a massive globular cluster orbiting our Galaxy - likely has a 20,000 solar mass black hole in its core.

    The globular cluster, which contains approx. 10 million stars is thought to be the remnant core of a former dwarf galaxy, now cannibalised by the Milky Way.

    These new findings might provide the 'missing link' between stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes.

    I had a chat with The University of Queensland Dr Holger Baumgardt who played a direct role in providing the theoretical modelling and investigations into the stellar velocities around the monster black hole. My latest for #SpaceAustralia

    - #MINERVA / #FWLO 🟢

    #Weather in #Arizona looks perfect for the #transit night ... but the #KittPeak #observatory was hit by a serious #contreras #fire in June and the #telescope is down since then. Fortunately, the #firefighters saved the observatory and the staff are working hard. The instrument is expected to be back on sky on Nov. 11, hence ONE DAY before the transit. We still don't know what will be the instrumental stability. #AstronomerLife

  13. Did you know it was this woman #astronomer who figured out the most abundant atom in the universe is #hydrogen? She did quite a number of astonishing things in an environment where women weren't welcome in the sciences. Her name should be as familiar as the names of some of male contemporaries -- but some of them got the credit for work that she did (even though some tried to give her credit). What an amazing biography of Ceclia Payne-Gaposchkin.
