  5. The James Webb Space Telescope is parked a million miles from Earth at a gravitational balance point so precarious it has to fire its thrusters every three weeks just to stay there, and when its fuel runs out around 2040 it will drift away forever with no possibility of refueling or rescue.

  6. #KnowledgeByte: #Abell209 is a massive #Galaxy #Cluster located in the constellation Cetus, approximately 2.8 to 3 billion light-years from Earth.

    The cluster contains over 100 galaxies and its immense mass warps spacetime, allowing astronomers to study dark matter through a phenomenon called #Gravitational #Lensing.

  8. The shape of this galaxy admittedly appears to be somewhat bizarre, so confusion would be forgiven. This is due to a cosmic phenomenon called #Gravitational #Lensing.

    The gravitational influence of a massive galaxy cluster called SDSS J1110+6459 is causing the surrounding space-time to bend and warp, affecting the passage of any nearby light

  10. The #CosmicWeb is made up of large #voids delimited by long filaments of #matter at the intersection of which vast #gravitational structures are formed: #galaxies grouped into clusters.

    Do their properties (mass, shape, star formation rate) preserve traces of the large-scale cosmic flows from which they originated? Find out this Thursday with Katarina Kraljic, a researcher at the @ObsStrasbourg , who studied a sample of observed and virtual galaxies : irap.omp.eu/event/the-co-evolu

  12. #Gravitational #microlensing has emerged as a transformative tool. It is an observational phenomenon predicted by General Relativity, wherein the gravitational field of a foreground object (the lens) bends and magnifies the light of a distant background star (the source).

    The effect of gravitational lensing can probably also be achieved if you look deep into the glass. But if you look too deep into the glass, the effect seems to evaporate and you don't get to the hoped-for closer insights.. But sometimes it's just the way it is, who cares? Cheers!

  22. HerS 020941.1+001557 is the designation for a very distant galaxy that appears as a dramatic #Einstein #Ring due to a phenomenon called #Gravitational #Lensing.

    Its light, emitted 11 billion years ago, has been bent and magnified by the gravitational field of a closer, massive elliptical galaxy (SDSS J020941.27+001558.4) located between HerS 020941.1+001557 and Earth.

  26. Sunday afternoon gravitational wave. Both @LIGO detectors and the Virgo detector have today identified another gravitational-wave candidate.

    S241110br – if real – originates from the merger of two black holes at a (luminosity) distance of around 2.9 billion light-years.

    The direction of origin could be narrowed down to an area of 244 square degrees. This corresponds approximately to the area of 1100 average full moons.

  27. An exciting first meeting of the Special Interest Group for #TimeandFrequency took place at the University of Amsterdam, focusing on #metrology and the #science of accurate #time.

    SIG-TFN looked into some challenging use cases from redefining the System of Units (SI), detecting #gravitational waves, testing new #physics and supporting European-wide commercial #services such as very accurate time stamps for banks to validate high-frequency trading.

  29. Why a #drop of water hangs downward and the Earth's #atmosphere doesn't simply disappear into space. Recently, #three #energyfields have been proven for the #Earth: the #magnetic field, the #gravitational field and the #ambipolar electrostatic #field. The latter has longer existed as a hypothesis but has only recently been proven.

  30. There was a new gravitational-wave candidate over the weekend.

    S240830gn most likely came from the merger of two black holes. The event took place at a distance of about 3.6 billion light-years.

    The sky position could be determined relatively well and is constrained to 410 square degrees.

  32. #DidYouKnow: #Gravitational #Lensing occurs when a massive celestial body - such as a galaxy cluster - causes a sufficient curvature of spacetime for the path of light around it to be visibly bent, as if by a lens.

    The body causing the light to curve is accordingly called a gravitational lens.

  36. A new milestone in the #Einstein #telescope project!

    The E-TEST prototype of the Einstein telescope underwent its first battery of tests in the Centre Spatial de Liège (CSL)'s Focal 6.5 Vacuum chamber. The tests validated the cooling technology, the inverted pendulum principle and the ultra-sensitive vibration sensors. Encouraging results for this prototype for detecting #gravitational waves, the only one of its kind in the world!

  39. The mystery of what actually is remains the ultimate challenge of modern fundamental physics. The core question is whether it is indeed a missing mass source, such as a new type of matter, or whether the law is simply different at gigantic length scales. While laws are well tested within the , one has to be careful extrapolating this to scales which are at least one billion times larger. phys.org/news/2019-01-dark-alt
