  1. #OxLancs2026

    Final slide of my talk this morning at the First Ox & Lancs Colloquium on Cosmological Features on the Largest Scales, held at the University of Lancashire: a recap of the discoveries of the Cosmicflows program.

    Preparing my talk for the 1st Ox & Lancs Colloquium on Cosmological Features on the Largest Scales at U. of Lancashire. Highlight of the meeting: a talk by Sir Roger Penrose (Nobel Prize 2020) on "Dark matter in Conformal Cyclic Cosmology and Lopez Galactic Rings".

  3. #KnowledgeBit: A #Supercluster is a large group of smaller galaxy clusters or galaxy groups; they are among the largest known structures in the universe.

    The #MilkyWay is part of the Local Group galaxy group (which contains more than 54 galaxies), which in turn is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is part of the #Laniakea Supercluster.

    The number of superclusters in the observable universe is estimated to be 10 million.

    For comparison: the Great Attractor was discovered with 400 PVs, Laniakea with 8000 PVs, South Pole Wall with 18,000 PVs

  7. Read this great update about the #pureos development in September 2024:

    puri.sm/posts/pureos-crimson-d

    Many #Crimson packages start building again. Well done. I'm always reading these monthly updates with much interest.

    You can totally optional support the development of PureOS by getting a subscription: shop.puri.sm/?s=pureos+subscri

    #PureOS is totally free software for everyone, regardless of subscriptions, but subscriptions help the advancement.

  8. Überraschende Entdeckung: Die Milchstraße ist womöglich doch nicht Teil des Laniakea-Superclusters – der Megastruktur, die bisher als unsere „kosmische Heimat“ galt. #Milchstraße #Laniakea #Supercluster #Astronomie #Attraktor

  9. Key gravitational structures unveiled in new cosmic research

    A group of international scientists has made significant strides in understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe by identifying critical gravitational regions, termed "basins of attraction."

  10. Cosmography Update

    A 3D map of basins of attractions in the Local Universe, inferred from Cosmicflows-4 and based on a probabilistic approach, gives new insights on our cosmic whereabouts. We have not reached the "End of Greatness" yet!

  11. A Nature Grand Slam

    Beside making it to the cover, the discovery is the subject of three editorial and news articles, of a worldwide press release, and of a Nature video that will be viewed by more than 8 million people!

  12. Pleased to give a talk (online) to the Cosmology group at Observatório Nacional in Rio de Janeiro. After a short historical intro - discussing the role of pioneers such as Vera Rubin and Gérard de Vaucouleurs - I will present the discoveries of our Cosmicflows research program.
