1/11 #JWST has revealed something unprecedented about Neptune. For the first time we have spectra of three small inner moons (Larissa, Galatea, Proteus) and the rings. 🔭 Their composition is unique in the outer Solar System.⚛️🧪 www.caltech.edu/about/news/n... #planetsci #Astronomy #Science

Total solar eclipse loading ☀️🌕🌍 On 12 August, the Moon will slip between the Earth and the Sun, turning day into night for up to a minute and a half along the path of totality. Get the gist with ESO fellow Mar Carretero Castrillo 🎬👇 🔭 #EuropeanSolarEclipse #TotalSolarEclipse 1/4
If the universities become too corrupt, maybe we'll return to the roots from which universities emerged: individual scholars advertising their willingness to take on students for a fee! Over time these scholars got more organized and formed universities.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieva...
Arula RatnakarMaybe in the age of LLMs instead of becoming a professor I’ll one day start some cult like thing trying to preserve the pencil and paper methodology of developing theories. And I’d take on apprentices who want to learn the art.

BOOK COVER TIME Introducing The Universe: A Graphic Guide, out in the UK and as an ebook on September 10th! I begin at the beginning and proceed forward in time, with absolutely lovely illustrations by Lily Fossett (www.lilyfossett.com) on every page.📚🔭🧪 www.jillianscudder.com/books/univer...
1/7 In this stunning view you can see how the appearance of North America Nebula can change using different combinations of visible and infrared observations.⚛️ Color is used to display different parts of the spectrum.🔭🧪 www.spitzer.caltech.edu/image/ssc201... #Universe #Astronomy #Science
1/12 In 1939 a German mathematician, Ott-Heinrich Keller, asked a seemingly simple question about polynomial functions. It became known as the Jacobian conjecture. It remained open for 87 years. #maths #HistMath #Mathsky 🧪 #mathematics
Yes. The window is narrow and tech is racing ahead. But surrendering early is the worst choice. Science, activism and diplomacy have protected global commons before — against far stronger economic interests. The night sky deserves the same fight. 🔭⚛️🧪 We aren't powerless. #ProtectTheNightSky
CosmicRami 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️Nope. I don’t accept this position — that we are powerless to change the outcome of this mess. We have a small, time-critical window where we can collectively navigate through this. Also don’t forget, these are commercial entities that are selling products/services that are subject to laws.
1/6 In 2025, Gemini North data gave only a weak 1.5σ hint of a companion near Betelgeuse — a signal just strong enough to notice.🔭 The new VLT/SPHERE data raise the detection to a solid 6.1σ level (5.1σ with another method), making the result far more convincing & confirming the same location.🧪⚛️
ESOThe conclusion of a century-long quest 😲 Our VLT obtained firm evidence that Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the Orion constellation and one of the most famous stars in the night sky, is not alone! 🔭 🧪 1/4
