Harvesting Betelgeuse and Antares for lunch...

Walking through work is currently very fun.

(Hint: it's not the pokémon I work for 😂)

Wondering if little nodules of dark matter lurk at the centre of asteroids and that's what made all that stuff coalesce in the first place when Sol System was forming...

In my mind, these three lounge tomatoes are like three mighty giant stars at different stages of development.
The smallest 'mato is the youngest, like blue giant Rigel.
The medium sized orange giant in the foreground like Antares, and behind it is angry red Betelgeuse

And sometimes you see someone present a draft in a collab meeting and know that the paper will be soooo impactful 🤩 Sooo exciting!

A week into the new fiscal year, and my research group is still averaging more than one submitted proposal per day (PI-ed in my group). Not something we will be able to sustain, mind you, but it's fun while it is lasting!

oooo, magnetic exoplanets!

More likely to hold onto atmospheres, like our Earth does....

Depiction of the reusable CZ-9 booster (10.6 meter diameter) coming in for a landing. Just one of THREE Chinese Starship knockoffs.
CZ-9 and CZ-9B (fully reusable) are powered by dozens of YF-215 FFSC methalox engines. Similar to Raptor 3.

Also on ELSA #PaperDay we'd like to highlight our latest ELSA
@ec_euclid citizen science project, Artifact InSPECtor. Would you like to rummage space telescope data? #astrodon https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/artifact-pipeline/artifact-inspector

ELSA member Pietro Bergamini warping members of the public (painlessly) at "La Notte delle ricercatrici e dei ricercatori" last week, demonstrating the @ec_euclid space telescope's discoveries of gravitational lenses #astrodon

A scale model of the Euclid space telescope on a window ledge. There is also a model astronaut on the window ledge.

Pietro running a real time warp-yourself simulation, showing what you look like when warped by gravitational lensing. A member of the public is holding a ball bearing between finger and thumb, which is being warped into curved arcs

Members of the public holding a dark cloth taut for demonstrating motion in a curved spacetime, with a ball bearing resting on the cloth curving the space or cloth around it

#Astrodon question:
What do people use to stack videos? I have a few hundred frames of Venus and I'd like to see what I can get out of them?
Thanks (& boosts welcome)
