Besides the laser closures and some weird things with the target list, the night was smooth and we saw cute emission lines!

Back in my element - observing! I'm on @keckobservatory.bsky.social tonight with @marinabianchin.bsky.social for an OSIRIS run. This time I'm in the IfA remote obs room, which I had really only used for UH 2.2m observing as a 1st and 2nd year grad. Fingers crossed for a smooth sailing night!🤞🏻🔭

A sprawling, textured field of galaxies scattered across the deep black of space. It is filled with the delicate smudges and glowing cores of galaxies of many shapes, sizes and colors, as well as the bright multi-colored points of stars. The image focuses on a collection of interacting galaxies connected by delicate streams of stars. At top center lies a large elliptical galaxy that is dense and smooth, like a polished stone glowing with golden light. Like delicate spider silk or stretched taffy, these stellar bridges link the large elliptical to the few larger galaxies beneath, evidence of past collisions. All throughout the image, thousands of galaxies gather in clusters or are spread throughout, like glittering gems strewn on a table. Some are sharp-edged and spiral, like coiled ribbons; others round and diffuse, like polished pebbles. Still others are just smudges of various colors against the black of space. The background is peppered with pinpoint stars in reds, yellows, and blues, crisp against the velvet black. A cosmic tapestry of glowing tan and pink gas clouds with dark dust lanes. In the upper right, the Trifid Nebula resembles a small flower in space. Its soft, pinkish gas petals are surrounded by blue gas, and streaked with dark, finger-like veins of dust that divide it into three parts. It radiates a gentle, misty glow, diffuse and soft like the warmth of breath on a cold hand. To the lower left, the much larger Lagoon Nebula stretches wide like a churning sea of magenta gas, with bright blue, knotted clumps sprinkled throughout where new stars are born. Both nebulae are embedded in a soft tan backdrop of gas that is brighter on the left than on the right, etched with dark tendrils of dust and sprinkled with the pinpricks of millions of stars. A sprawling, textured field of galaxies scattered across the deep black of space. It is filled with the delicate smudges and glowing cores of galaxies of many shapes, sizes and colors, as well as the bright multi-colored points of stars. To the lower left is a region filled with the hundreds of golden glittering gems of a distant galaxy cluster. In the foreground, below and right of center, two blue spiral galaxies look like eyes beneath the entangled mass of a triple galaxy merger in the upper right. A few bright blue points of foreground stars pierce the glittering tapestry. All throughout the image, thousands of galaxies gather in clusters or are spread throughout, like glittering gems strewn on a table.

Sounds like my cat has some relatives out there...

The vet tech said Francie was "an angel" when they brought her back to get labs today. After she left the room I was like "Really? An angel?" and my boyfriend said "Well, Lucifer was an angel."
Photo of my fluffy white cat Francie meowing toward the camera looking slightly and adorably demonic.

Meet Cassiopeia and Stellar, just two of the many cats named after space-related words by their owners/cat parents at STScI.

For #NationalCatDay, we want to know how many of you named your feline friends after space objects! Any Jupiters, Spectras or Lunas out there? 😸 🔭 🧪

Finalmente nasceu!

Estava maturando isso desde 2021 e finalmente encontrei pessoas incríveis que se desafiaram na dublagem e consegui o apoio técnico do planetário do Rio.

Obrigada @yannamartins.bsky.social e @thespacelink.bsky.social por embarcarem nesse projeto!

meses atrás recebi uma mensagem da @marinabianchin.bsky.social convidando pra participar de um projeto pra traduzir e gravar uma sessão de planetário direcionada a pessoas cegas/baixa visão. também teve participação do @thespacelink.bsky.social!
material lindíssimo ♥️

Even living in the northern hemisphere for almost a decade now, I still have no clue what people mean by “this fall/this spring” and even less when they talk about “quarters”.

For the last one, I had to make a table and keep it in my notes because it already caused me so many issues.

Dois anos dessas fotos... Dois anos que vim de mala e cuia (bomba, erva-mate e café bom também) para um país onde nunca antes havia botado os pés... Dois anos que me despedi do meu grupo de pesquisa (que claramente não sabem usar o Photoshop) e de amigas maravilhosas ❤️

Como estou recebendo um fluxo de seguidores, mesmo sem fazer divulgação de astronomia em nenhuma rede social, vou compartilhar alguns vídeos e podcasts que participei no passado

1. doc da PBS sobre o JWST (infelizmente sem legenda PT-BR)

Olá pessoas do céu azul! Me chamo Marina, sou astrônoma, embora em todos os diplomas conste física, formada pela @ufsm.bsky.social. Estudo como buracos negros influenciam na evolução de galáxias.
Essa sou eu, com meu colega Justin Kader, falando em um workshop no Aspen Center for Physics.

From Delaney Dunne: In today’s paper, the authors use JWST to investigate how warm, star-forming molecular gas is blown away by AGN. 🔭✨️
