Happy birthday to British-born, American #astrophysicist Margaret Burbidge (1919-2020) who was one of the people instrumental in building our understanding of stellar nucleosynthesis, how nuclei are produced in stars & you and I are all stardust! She was the 1st author of a monumental scientific paper Synthesis of the Elements in Stars, which became known as B2FH from the initials of its authors: 🧵1/4

I don't generally recommend material published on Youtube, but here is an exception: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot1Ggv6YZyQ is the fascinating tale told by #astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell herself how she discovered quasars in 1967. The presentation is quite accessible given just a modest interest in science, and also grants some insight into academic live in the late 60s. Enjoyable to watch, as that fabulous lady's got wisdom and humor! 72 minutes.

Happy birthday to #astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell! In 1967, as a grad student she discovered the 1st radio pulsar, a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of EM radiation. This radiation can only be observed when the star is pointed towards us; so, like the light from a lighthouse, it appears to pulse at a precise frequency. She had been working with her supervisor Antony Hewish & others to construct a radio telescope to study quasars. 🧵 #linocut #printmaking #histsci

What one #Astrophysicist #AngelaCollier said in in her #YT video on July 16, *2023*, is a) broadly outdated and b)...
from a mere *end-user* view, even if a quite erudite and intelligent one.

I *had* to get this off my chest.

Let's have a closer look what these bleeding-edge #AI luminaries...

No, I'm not crazy, this is what two of the most brillant #AI researchers on earth said already in 2025 in two highly interesting, paywalled #TheEconomist interviews in its #Science + #Technology #podcast, #Babbage.

@spacefeed.bsky.social When a star as massive as Betelgeuse goes #nova or #supernova then the jet of energetic Gamma-ray bursts that it releases, are typically ejected from its poles. If the pole is not pointed towards earth then it is possible that it will not impact earth. The same should occur for UV radiation too. Can any #astrophysicist please verify this?

As an amateur #astronomer and #astrophotographer, I often use parsecs as a unit of measure.

Turns out a certain well known #astrophysicist hates them.

And for good reason.

New #Hubble images may solve the case of a disappearing exoplanet
A fading dust cloud hints that the once-seen #exoplanet #FomalhautB was never a #planet
“What’s cool about this paper is that for the first time ever we are seeing one of these disks change over time,” says #astrophysicist Tim Pearce. That’s unusual in the field of protoplanetary disks, where scientists usually observe structures that “basically look the same for a human lifetime.”
