Take a bit of time today to explore this mind blowing JWST image 🤯

You’re looking at a cluster, 4.5 billion light years away, whose gravity is warping space and lensing the light of background galaxies. This is one of the deepest JWST images ever… (cont.)

We had snow last week at our site! Our telescopes 🔭 like being cold, our teams not so much. Here you are looking inside the sun-shield of one of the SO SATs, the actual lenses and the focal plane sit beneath that shiny cover, cooled to cryogenic temperatures.

Hold on to your butt because we got an incredible new image from JWST! 🤯 This is an Einstein ring, formed by the gravity of a massive elliptical galaxy (center) warping space and distorting the light coming from objects behind it….

the horrors persist, but so do the tomatoes (and eggplant!)

@drjmo.bsky.social cross stitched this incredible sign for the lab, and today our amazing undergrad researcher Haley sent me this photo of a new plant next to it 🥲 I can’t handle how nice this is

We enjoyed the cherry blossoms yesterday at Duke Gardens! A lovely end to Phil Mauskopf’s visit. @drjmo.bsky.social

The @simonsobservatory.org recently completed the installation of its Large Aperture Telescope, joining its three Small Aperture Telescopes. These telescopes will collect the most precise measurements yet of the universe’s oldest light. www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/03/17/s... #science #astronomy

We have first light on our Large Aperture Telescope! www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/03/17/s...
After installing our mirrors over the last few weeks, we have started looking at the sky. We are still tuning the telescope, but we can already make maps of objects in the sky, like Mars. ☄️🔭🧪

Y’ALL. You know how we had a lunar eclipse last night? Well if you’re on the moon, what you see is a SOLAR eclipse where the Earth blocks out the sun. And the Blue Ghost lander SAW THAT LAST NIGHT. THIS IS A SOLAR ECLIPSE FROM THE MOON 🤯

We have two preprints out on the arXiv today 🔭☄️!
The first one is about an #NSFFunded upgrade to our Large Aperture Telescope, roughly doubling the number of detectors in it: arxiv.org/abs/2503.00636 enabling us to probe the sky deeper than ever. The paper was led by Susan Clark and Colin Hill.

Chile is the world's second-largest lithium producer. It has been a welcome boon to the economy, but local community members consider it a disaster.
