✨🔭 If you're interested in learning more about #SpaceScience in the region, I have two older posts about a visit I made with my former institute to the #Effelsberg #RadioTelescope ( @MPIfR_Bonn) and the #Stockert radio telescope ( #Astropeiler).
Here's the link to the Effelsberg post:

Yesterday we visited the #Volkssternwarte #Köln ✨🔭 The weather was overcast, so conditions were limited, but we were still able to observe #Jupiter and its four #GalileanMoons #Io, #Europa, #Ganymede, and #Callisto.
The main #telescope is a 600 mm #Cassegrain reflector with a focal length of 5,400 mm, which enables high-magnification observations of #planets, the #Moon, double #stars, and bright planetary #nebulae.

Our crew at the observatory has CAPTURED THE ORION SPACECRAFT... despite the weather in #Toronto #canada ... the low position of #ArtemisII in the sky and having had to take the science ccd off for repairs.
Enjoy everyone, now you too can wave at the pixel of #jeremyhansen ! Video is up on the @AllanICarswellObservatory YouTubechannel! https://www.youtube.com/live/dT_ykVY1VaI?si=wDd_GQHUpdYP0-qy

ROOF GONE → WE REBUILT
A Storm Took Her Observatory… So We Rebuilt It
A storm in late 2025 ripped the roof clean off Anne-Maree’s observatory… the one she built herself
and yeah… it took the roof off her house too
priorities, right
so we showed up
kept her original timber frame walls, rebuilt the top with one of our custom AstroworX roof systems, and turned what was wrecked into something way more solid than before
now she’s got a fully working observatory again…
house roof still pending
we all make sacrifices
this one just happens to track galaxies

Visited the sun observatory in Goseck today, the oldest known one in the world, much older than Stonehenge. As someone who's heavily interested in the technological and otherwise symbolic representation and constitution of experience, I was very impressed and moved. (Also by the icy wind that froze my face off.)

Google’s Ex-CEO Eric Schmidt Pour Billions To Launch Private Space Telescope Lazuli, A Modern Hubble
-
The #Lazuli #Space #Observatory is a project of #Schmidt #Sciences,
a philanthropic organization built by investor Wendy Schmidt and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.“This is the first full-scale observatory that is privately funded in space,” says Stuart Feldman, an astronomer, computer scientist and president of Schmidt Sciences,
who spoke to Scientific American before the announcement.“For 20 years, Eric and I have pursued philanthropy to seek new frontiers,”
Wendy Schmidt said in a statement.“With the #Schmidt #Observatory #System
[which includes Lazuli],
we’re enabling multiple approaches to understanding the vast universe
where we find ourselves stewards of a living planet.”As envisioned, the telescope will boast a three-meter mirror
—larger than that of NASA’s iconic Hubble Space Telescope.Its three instruments
—a planet-finding coronagraph,
a high-resolution wide-field camera
and a light-splitting spectrograph
—will study the atmospheres of distant worlds, dissect the light from exploding stars and tackle mysteries such as the nature of dark energy, the enigmatic force that drives the universe’s accelerating expansion.Lazuli will be agile as well;
it will be able to rapidly swivel to stare at things that go bump in the cosmic night.With a price tag rumored to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars, the telescope could launch before the decade is out.
And if it is successful, the feat could signal a new way to achieve big things in the space sciences.
“There’s a lot of good potential here,
and it’s encouraging to see these new pathways opening for doing astrophysics,”
says astronomer Heidi Hammel,
vice president for science at the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy.Lazuli is just one of several large projects comprising the Schmidt Observatory System
—initiatives that Feldman characterizes as
“risky but exciting.”The others are all ground-based and share a common design element in that they’re modular,
using hundreds of small and relatively low-cost components to create much larger and more capable arrays.One, the
#Deep #Synoptic #Array, will study the sky at radio wavelengths,
while its counterpart,
the #Argus #Array, will observe in visible light.A third smaller-but-scalable
#Large #Fiber #Array #Spectroscopic #Telescope
will gather spectra of cosmic targets such as exoplanets and supernovae.The goal, Feldman says, is for each of these projects to be doing science by 2029.

The #Habitable #Worlds #Observatory (HWO) is a future flagship space telescope for NASA Astrophysics that will build on the achievements of the Hubble, Webb, and Roman Space Observatories.
Designed to search for signs of life on nearby Earth-like planets, HWO will combine cutting-edge ultraviolet, optical, and infrared technologies to explore fundamental questions about life in the Universe,

The Week That Broke Us 😮💨 | 10 Observatories in 10 Weeks – Week 9
Week 9 was supposed to be the home stretch… but instead it hit like a brick.
This was the week of every tiny, annoying, fiddly job that had been waiting for attention — and the week we dove headfirst into the most soul-destroying task of all: rubbering the observatories.Hours of cold, sticky, repetitive misery.
Monotonous. Dreary. Painful.
A true test of patience, sanity, and lower-back durability.Rubbering meant pushing 12 mm round rubber into the small cavity of the 40×40 aluminium — inch by inch, joint by joint, across every single observatory. It was tedious, physically brutal, and somehow both infuriating and necessary.
But we pushed through. Bit by bit, joint by joint, we knocked down the last of the little tasks and inched the entire site toward completion.
It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t fun.
But it was necessary — and it brought us one week closer to the finish line.#10Observatories10Weeks #TheWeekThatBrokeUs #ObservatoryBuild #DIYObservatory #AstroWorx #RollOffRoof #MakerLife #EngineeringChallenge #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Space #Science #TelescopeLife #StarviewFarm #AstroBuild #Universe #Stargazing #NightSky #astronomy #space #astrophotography #universe #science #nasa #cosmos #nightsky #stars #galaxy #telescope #observatory #DIYObservatory #engineering #STEM #astrophysics #spaceexploration #makerlife

IAU Hands-On Workshops - Call for Proposals for Workshops in 2026
The IAU calls for applications to organize workshops under the IAU Hands-On Workshops (I-HOW) initiative. These workshops aim at training early-career scientists from developing countries in accessing, reducing, and analysing the vast amount of data available in astronomical archives across the world, and using them for their research projects. Proposals to organise one of these workshops shall be submitted using the application form provided on the website by email to one of the members of the I-HOW Steering Committee.
The deadline for applications is December 31, 2025.

The IAU calls for applications to organize workshops under the IAU Hands-On Workshops (I-HOW) initiative. These workshops aim at training early-career scientists from developing countries in accessing, reducing, and analysing the vast amount of data available in astronomical archives across the world, and using them for their research projects. Proposals to organise one of these workshops shall be submitted using the application form provided on the website by email to one of the members of the I-HOW Steering Committee.
The deadline for applications is December 31, 2025.
More information on the characteristics of the initiative, the procedure and selection criteria for workshops, and a link to the application form are available at: https://www.iau.org/Iau/Iau/Science/Trainings---Workshops/I-HOW-Hands-On-Workshops.aspx
