This Friday the 12th I get to speak to a group who actually want to hear about astronomy — my family assures me this is a rare treat.
I promise enthusiasm, a few interesting facts, and hopefully no accidental slides I meant to delete. If you’re around on the 12th, come along!

About 13.8 billion years ago the #universe expanded faster than the speed of #light for a fraction of a second in a period called #cosmic inflation.

The new findings from the James Webb Space Telescope #JWST is all about solving the mysteries of #NGC346, which is one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby #galaxies. However, the new findings by Webb have made NGC346 a bit less mysterious.

The James Webb Space Telescope #JWST has captured a pair of #galaxies distorting each other as they merge in a great galactic get-together.
The ongoing cosmic collision imaged by Webb is known as II ZW 96. It is roughly 500 million light-years from #Earth and located in the #constellation #Delphinus, according to a Nov. 30 #NASA statement.

One of the new high-resolution simulations of the dark matter enveloping the Milky Way and its neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The new study shows that earlier, failed attempts to find counterparts of the plane of satellites that surrounds the Milky Way in dark matter simulations was due to a lack of resolution.

Jupiter’s largest moon has a salty ocean that contains more water than on Earth
Forget holidays in the Mediterranean. If you want vast ocean views, Jupiter’s biggest moon Ganymede is the place to be. The moon is larger than Mercury and would be classed as a planet if it were orbiting the Sun rather than Jupiter.

💢 You can't stand on Uranus
If we ever manage to travel to the gas planets, you might be in for a bit of a shock when you step off the spaceship. That’s because Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune don’t have solid surfaces - they have a rocky core, but are mainly big balls of hydrogen and helium.

Negative COVID test this morning, so I'm about to head up to Wolverhampton to give my last in person talk of 2022 for Wolverhampton AS, my History of Women in Astronomy Part 1 talk. So looking forward to catching up with my friends there :-) #astronomytalk #astronomyoutreach #womeninastronomy #astronomycommunicator #astronomyspeaker
