  2. Differences in elemental composition of one of two binary stars, presumably formed at the same time, suggests that one of them consumed a rocky planet with a mass more than 11 times that of Earth. Other binary stars have been observed to have similar differences.

  12. The Stars of Nowhere

    The beginning is more than everything 
    The minute is a bullet drilling through
    the floor, hitting us square in the head
    reveals a point in time in nothing flat
    a scribble is worth more than a drawing.

    If I look up at night,
    point me at nowhere
    where the stars shine
    but are no longer.

    Waterfalls of stars pour from the skies
    rays of light spit into night
    organic molecules hurled out of sight
    hit me right between my eyes
    never believe a word until it’s said.

    If I look up at night
    Point me nowhere
    where the stars shine
    but are no longer.

  19. Am Mittwochvormittag bei der AG-Tagung in Garching hielt unsere Direktorin Amelie Saintonge ihren Vortrag „The mass-dependent baryon cycle“ ✨ 🌌

    Darin ging es um den sogenannten baryon cycle: den Austausch von Gas zwischen Galaxien und ihrer Umgebung und die Umwandlung dieses Gases in Sterne. Amelie Saintonge zeigte, wie entscheidend die Verfügbarkeit von Gas für die Entwicklung von Galaxien ist - und dass das Zusammenspiel dieser Prozesse stark von der Masse einer Galaxie abhängt. 🌌

  24. The Sodden Astronomer

    They say, Do not look at the stars,
    or you will step into holes
    and sink your shoes in mud.

    So you can keep your eyes
    fixed on the ground,
    safe from puddles,
    safe from falling,
    and miss the lights
    burning above in the dark—

    except for a stolen glance,
    a hurried sip of heaven.

    Or you can throw
    caution to the wind,
    lift your thirsty face
    to those bright jewels
    sewn into black velvet,

    and stumble on
    with wet feet.
