    Giving a talk tonight for my #astronomical society

    How many #astronomers do you know who are cool enough to rock #tattoos, 12 #piercings and a leather suit?

    #leather suit by Higgs Leathers
    Shirt by RSVLTS - #Disney Fantasia "Night on Bald Mountain" 75th anniversary

    For more information about the society visit msas.org.uk

    The full talk will be broadcast on nomenloony.tv very soon.

    My degree is in astrophysics by the way. Yes. I'm that nerd

    The #secrets of deep #space may be starting to reveal themselves, as rapid advances in #technology and stronger research collaborations are making it possible for #astronomers to piece together #cosmological clues like never before.

    At 19.00 CET [18:00 UTC], join a special, live virtual guided tour of #ESO sites. Get to see what goes on behind the scenes at our #observatories in Chile, located in one of the most remote places on Earth. Discover what it takes to operate a #telescope in the middle of the Atacama Desert and what #astronomers are looking to find out there. Join us in the integration hall of the ESO Headquarters in Germany and much more.

    There is a dire need for more people to work in #SpectrumManagement , both on the technical and regulatory side. This work has always been short-staffed, and much of the workforce is (or soon will be) eligible for retirement.

    For #astronomers, involvement is an important enabling activity, and crosses heavily into #SciComm and #SciencePolicy work.

    The field has a learning curve, and expertise all its own. But knowledge of spectrum use applications is important and applicable.

    #Gemini #North #telescope on #Hawaii reveals #first #dormant, #stellarmass #blackhole in our #cosmic #backyard.

    #Astronomers have discovered the #closest known black hole to #Earth. This is the first unambiguous detection of a dormant stellar-mass black hole in the #MilkyWay. Its close proximity to Earth, a mere #1600 #lightyears away, offers an intriguing target of study to advance our understanding of the evolution of #binary systems
