@SciBry Are you doing the upcoming winter meeting? For the 245th AAS Meeting: 12–16 January 2025, Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, MD? Also did you speak last year? If so which video number are you? https://vimeo.com/showcase/10963814

I’m quoted in this Scientific American story about a possible primordial dark/low surface brightness galaxy detected in the radio at #GreenBankObservatory, presented at #AAS243. They took out all the careful caveats of course! (But I know to expect that)

Here they are: all eight #AAS243 press conferences with numerous links to all related papers (some are still in preparation, one hears), press releases, news stories and more: https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2024/01/15/die-pressekonferenzen-von-der-243-aas-tagung - the best (if somewhat time-consuming) way to start astrophysics in 2024!

My abiding memory of #NewOrleans is that drivers don’t stop for pedestrian crosswalks even when the lights are flashing until you step in front of their two tons of speeding metal, and sometimes not even then. And then shout at you for making them stop. A thoroughly unpleasant city. #aas243 #NOLA

New Orleans - for #AAS243 - was scientifically a blast. But the city remains amazing. So much good music (wjblues.com yoshitakaz2tsuji.bandcamp.com amongst many others) & so much good food. Stand out: the blackened redfish at Coop's Place (www.coopsplace.net) which I had a decade ago, and have been craving ever since.

Discovery of the Big Ring, an ultra-large cosmological structure, by Alexia Lopez @morninglopez and her co-authors, further challenges what we understand about the universe.
This finding was announced yesterday at the Winter Meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

1.3bn LightYear Diameter 'Big Ring' Discovery Announced at #AAS243
to go with her 3.3bn LightYear Long 'Giant Arc'

And with that, it's a wrap. Thanks #AAS243. It was fun!

At a #AAS243 press conference to hear UCLan's Alexia Lopez present on her discovery of a giant ring of galaxies 1.3 billion light-years across, to add to her prior discovery of a 'giant arc'. Nice article here: https://t.co/65CQcDRDLE
That said: I'm pretty skeptical of the claim. The fact that the two structures are at about the same distance suggests that there might be some systematic effect - I don't see any reason the Universe would have a particular epoch of massive structures. #astrodon

Science Highlights from the #JWST town hall at #AAS243:
- More than 700 JWST papers published so far.
- JWST found thousands of galaxies in the early universe, which are brighter and more numerous than expected.
- There are a lot of active supermassive black holes in the early universe, which may require massive seeds.
- Detecting molecules in the atmospheres of giant exoplanets is easier than expected, but the atmospheres of rocky planets are hard to measure. -

I’ll be taking part in the Beyond Academe roundtable at #aas243 this afternoon, discussing observatory/science operations as a career path in #astronomy.
Find us on the tables left of the entrance inside the exhibit hall at 3:30–4:30 pm today!
