    (Skip to the end if you want to get on a mailing list for sharing the materials we're making!)

    Thank you to all who attended an early Friday talk and asked great questions! 🤩

  8. "MPIA: Forscher identifizieren zwei der frühesten Bausteine der Milchstraße

    .. Bei den „Shakti“ und „Shiva“ genannten Gebilden dürfte es sich um Überreste zweier Galaxien handeln, die vor 12 bis 13 Milliarden Jahren mit einer frühen Version der Milchstraße verschmolzen und so zum frühen Wachstum .. beitrugen. Eine Pressemitteilung des .. MPIA."

  9. A younger Universe implied by satellite pair correlations from #SDSS observations of massive galaxy groups: arxiv.org/abs/2401.10342 -> Motion of Satellite #Galaxies Suggests Younger #Universe: english.cas.cn/newsroom/resear -> "these findings consequently suggest a younger Universe compared to that derived from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by the Planck Collaboration" - huh?

  10. Great paper by Mirjam Guesgen for @Motherboard @VICENews on the discovery of the Big Ring

    On the proximity of this structure with the Giant Arc:
    “Identifying two extraordinary ultra-large structures in such close configuration raises the possibility that together they form an even more extraordinary cosmological system.” @morninglopez (co-author of the discovery)

  12. Finally: #SDSS plates for education! The SDSS plates are getting a new life in schools. My #MaterialCulture heart is sooooooo happy #NAM2023 #Astronomy #SciComm #PublicEngagement

  13. Just finished adding support for texture arrays in particle cloud objects. This is what SDSS looks like when adding a texture array with ~30 random galaxies.

  17. The latest #SDSS - Sloan Digital Sky Survey - data release, DR18 is now live! This is the first data release for SDSS-V and contains targeting data for Black Hole Mapper and Milky Way Mapper, as well as eFEDS (eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey) spectra and value added catalogs: sdss.org

  18. A new instrument is joining the fleet at the #LasCampanas Observatory in Chile’s #Atacama Desert. It will map our neighboring #galaxies — including those only visible from the southern hemisphere — on a larger scale than ever before. This galactic cartographer, called the #LocalVolumeMapper, is the latest addition to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (#SDSS): impact.sloan.org/the-sloan-dig

  19. Happy Holidays written in galaxies images by #SDSS and found thanks to #GalaxyZoo volunteers writing.galaxyzoo.org

  20. Check out this interactive 3D #map of a ~1 Gpc^3 volume of the #universe: skfb.ly/6RyGE
    It was created by analyzing the Lyman-alpha absorption lines of the light emitted by distant #quasars, using data collected by the #SDSS Sloan Digital Sky Survey / eBOSS Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey.

  21. Créée à partir de données astronomiques compilées pendant 15 ans, une nouvelle carte interactive montre 200 000 galaxies :

  22. "Map of the Universe": 200.000 Galaxien im sichtbaren Kosmos visualisiert

    Seit über 20 Jahren wird für den Sloan Digital Sky Survey das All kartiert. Nun wurde aus den Daten eine eindrucksvolle Onlinekarte erstellt.
