Listening to The Joy of Why (How Fast Is the Universe Really Expanding?): https://www.quantamagazine.org/tag/the-joy-of-why/
One of the biggest mysteries in cosmology seems to keep getting bigger. Astronomers have known since the 1930s that the universe is expanding, but in the 1990s, the discovery that this expansion is accelerating rather than slowing down came as a huge shock to the field.

A wonderful ballet of baryonic matter properties, in the formation volume of a "small" cluster of galaxies. The isosurfaces are generated with a code by the University of Minnesota (Tom Jones'group) over my ENZO simulations (2017).
Look at how beautifully this tool can trace the very different gas phases (hot & shocked vs cold and low entropy) which are involved in the mass growth of gas in between galaxies!

A quasar just 2 billion years post-Big-Bang, exhaling 36-million-degree plasma 100,000 light-years across?! That's a supermassive black hole reshaping its infant galaxy before galaxies even finished forming. Absolutely unhinged energetics 🤯🕳️

💥 Black Hole Collisions May Follow a Surprisingly Simple Rule
“When two hot gases are brought into contact, one does not need to track every microscopic interaction of the molecules in the gases to determine the final state of the combined gas,” said Eugenio Bianchi, professor of physics at Penn State and an author of the paper. “Maximizing entropy, while accounting for other physical laws, predicts the outcome.”

The total lunar eclipse of January 31, 2018, known as a Super Blue Blood Moon, offered a significant opportunity for astronomical observation. This celestial event occurs when the Moon passes entirely through the Earth's umbral shadow, resulting in a dramatic shift in luminosity and a characteristic reddish hue caused by Rayleigh scattering. Such events allow researchers to study the thermal properties of the lunar regolith as it undergoes rapid cooling during the transition from direct sunlight to shadow. These observations contribute to our broader understanding of lunar surface composition and the atmospheric filtering properties of the Earth.

Welcome to a Comet, from Lander on Surface
The Philae lander of the European Space Agency Rosetta mission is safely on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as these first two images from the lander CIVA camera confirm. One of the lander three feet can be seen in the foreground.

A supermassive black hole caught 30,000 ly from its galaxy's core, exposed only by tidally shredding a star! It's a literal fossil of a galaxy merger, drifting unseen until it fed. Gravity leaves no hiding place 🕳️✨

New images reveal #Betelgeuse’s buddy #star
Borrowing imaging techniques from #exoplanet hunters, the team captured the dim light of the smaller star amid the light of the huge one. The resulting images are the most definitive detection of Betelgeuse’s buddy yet, the team reports in a paper to appear in #Astronomy & #Astrophysics, an ordinary star orbiting the famed supergiant.

Neptune Rings
In Neptune outermost ring, 39,000 miles out, material mysteriously clumps into three arcs. Voyager 2 acquired this image as it encountered Neptune in August of 1989.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: Cosimo Bambi at #Fudan University modeled what it would take to send a gram sized #laser-pushed #probe to a nearby black hole.
Statistically there could be an isolated #blackhole within 20 to 25 light years of #Earth but we have not found one yet. Even if we did the mission would take 80 to 100 years and requires #technology we do not currently possess.

The conclusion of a century-long quest 😲
Our VLT obtained firm evidence that Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the Orion constellation and one of the most famous stars in the night sky, is not alone!

3D revolutions around the innermost 200Mpc of the Local Universe, in a super low resolution (for now) simulation with ENZO-MHD.
The top row shows the distribution of dark and baryonic matter, the lower row shows the magnetic field strength (left) and the gas temperature (right).
This is obviously not data for production, but we first need to be sure the real local structures (Coma, Virgo, Perseus. Centaurus...) are really there, before increasing the numerical resolution.

An orphan supermassive black hole, kicked out of any galactic nucleus, caught red-handed shredding a star in the void. Proof these monsters can wander far from home and still feast. Utterly feral 🕳️✨

🌌 A Powerful Cosmic Accelerator Has Been Confirmed in the Milky Way
｢ By combining observations from three major facilities on Earth and in space, the researchers established the nature of an object called LHAASO J1912+1014u. The result may help explain the origin and behavior of energetic particles that travel through the space between stars and affect processes across the Milky Way ｣

Watching our cosmic neighbourhood 👀
Three of the Auxiliary Telescopes at ESO’s Paranal Observatory enjoy an enviable view of the band of the Milky Way and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.
The Small Magellanic Cloud and the lowest part of the Milky Way appear here bathed in green airglow – vary faint light from oxygen atoms high up in the atmosphere.
