Conclusion of 2 amazing days of @NAICobservatory Observer training workshop!! I was able to learn many new things about #AO as well as the work don by the Observatory in the vast field of Astronomy since 1963.

For the past few days, the skies above the Netherlands and globally were graced with dazzling auroras, sparked by the most intense solar activity witnessed in several years.
Last night, I got to hunt one in Groningen.

It's almost a fortnight since a historic Indian teen champion emerged from Candidates. For some of the other Indians it's been a tough run of weeks. Vidit, Praggnanandhaa & Humpy spoke to @htTweets about battling self doubt, personal grief & making peace with scuppered chances.
#IndianNavy Responds to Piracy Attack in the #ArabianSea.
Inputs received on a potential piracy incident onboard Iranian Fishing Vessel 'Al-Kambar' late evening on #28Mar 24, approx 90 nm South West of Socotra.
Two Indian Naval ships, mission deployed in the #ArabianSea for #maritimesecurityoperations were diverted to intercept the hijacked FV, reported to have been boarded by nine armed pirates.
The hijacked FV has been intercepted on #29Mar 24. The operation is currently underway by the Indian Navy towards rescue of hijacked FV & its crew.
#IndianNavy remains committed to ensuring #maritimesecurity in the region & safety of the seafarers, irrespective of the nationalities.

Euclid's first images are here ✨
These five images illustrate Euclid's full potential; never before has a telescope been able to create such razor-sharp images across such a large patch of the sky, and looking so far into the distant Universe.

Aditya-L1 Mission:
HEL1OS captures first High-Energy X-ray glimpse of Solar Flares
🔸During its first observation period from approximately 12:00 to 22:00 UT on October 29, 2023, the High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer (HEL1OS) on board Aditya-L1 has recorded the impulsive phase of solar flares.
The recorded data is consistent with the X-ray light curves provided by NOAA's GOES.
🔸Commissioned on October 27, 2023, HEL1OS is currently undergoing fine-tuning of thresholds and calibration operations. The instrument is set to monitor the Sun's high-energy X-ray activity with fast timing and high-resolution spectra.
🔸HEL1OS data enables researchers to study explosive energy release and electron acceleration during impulsive phases of solar flares.
HEL1OS was developed by the Space Astronomy Group of the U. R. Rao Satellite Centre, ISRO, Bengaluru. More:

Excited to share this report of the highest redshift detection of atomic hydrogen 21cm emission, using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, from a distant galaxy; the signal originated when the universe was only 4.9 billion years old (= "look back time" of 8.8 billion years). 1/4
Going from recognizing almost everyone roaming on campus to recognizing no one because they're all new students, is the biggest slap in the face of time's passage.
I am reading a lot of ‘propaganda’ about ‘propaganda films’.I thought I should address it here. Kashmir Files is my story and story of my people. It is impossible for me to be objective about it. But years of training as an analyst has also taught me to be fair in my analysis 1/6
