On the arXiv today, the paper presents how we did 80,000 simulated cluster injection & retrievals to derive the first ever (!!!) full selection function for the open cluster census! 🔭☄️ #galactic

making applications full-screen makes them scary

If we sweep the "unpleasant parts" of science history under the rug, then we're also doing a disservice to the many women who have lost chances at science careers because of past abuse, and we're neglecting a chance to learn something as a society about fixing it in the future.

is there a star cluster with an especially cool name to adopt?

one could argue choosing the colors is the horrors

the secret and ominous third option, I‘ll take it

what if they can sometimes open the safety cap and sometimes not? not speaking from personal experience of course

guessing the rats made the plot

was it potentially made while you were locked in a room? a rubber room?

I’m an astrophysics master student and interested in connecting with other people :)!

yes

Connecting different scales of SF and molecular cloud structure poses still many open questions. I propose the HPM (Hierarchical Pasta Model), connecting molecular gas at galactic scales to the smallest scales. Bigger baseline, 37 min of observation time + a redbull are needed. Fig: adapt. Hacar23

bucatini is quite a controversial pasta shape to choose, but otherwise I fully support the HPM
