Suck it, RFK Jr!

I may have had to go to Connecticut, and I may have had to affirm having a condition that puts me at “high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus” which, if anyone asks, is “being alive”. In spite of the attempts of the antivax establishment to stop me, they could not!

We had a fun time discussing this image at AMNH’s science coffee because you can play Where’s Waldo with this Hubble Image from which this target was picked.

Has anyone reproduced the a vs. t plot with the best fit w_0 and w_1 values?

Starting a native plant wildflower garden. Used Newtown Native Nursery (based out of the Newtown Creek Alliance and Kingsland Wildflowers) to source the starter plants.

In 1967, the Hayden Planetarium did a show about six famous astronomers. For that show, the resident artist created six busts, two of which now sit in the AMNH Astrophysics Dept. We have been spending weeks now trying to identify whose head this was supposed to represent.
