ALMA Observatory📡

Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, is an international partnership of @ESO, @TheNRAO and @prcnaoj_en in cooperation with the Republic of Chile.

For the first time, scientists have detected the wind from a black hole.

New images show the supermassive one at the center of our galaxy is puffing away, clearing out a void about 20 trillion miles wide.

NEW from #AAS248: NSF VLA and ALMA Reveal Hidden “Ring Factories” of Giant Star Clusters in Nearby Galaxies

https://t.co/Pkt4jfJ8mi

In many spiral galaxies, gas moving inward piles up in a ring around the galaxy’s core, becoming a cosmic factory for young star clusters. 1/2 ⤵️

NEW from #AAS248: Young Stars Shape the Fate of Galaxies

Observations from @almaobs, @NASAWebb, and @NASAHubble reveal how young stars reshape their galactic environments with “stellar feedback,” a release of large amounts of energy.

📡We couldn't see the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, but we did get this magnificent sunset over the Atacama Salt Flat, from the OSF ALMA residence.

Venus and Jupiter may have caught your attention lately.

The recent close conjunction of the two brightest planets in recent evening skies has been hard to miss.

With Jupiter at the top, starting on May 30 and ending on June 8, their close approach was chronicled daily, left to right, in the featured panels from Maharashtra, India.

Near the western horizon, the evening sky colors and exposures used for each panel depend on the local conditions near sunset. At their closest on June 9, the celestial pair appeared to be only about three times the width of a full moon apart.

Of course, on that date, the two planets were physically separated by over 600 million kilometers in their orbits around the Sun.

In the coming days, Jupiter will slowly settle into the sunset glare, but Venus will continue to move farther from the Sun in the western sky to excel in its current role as the brilliant evening star.
