[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

Dear colleagues and Friends, sorry to inform you about my decision to finally leave this site. Please see me as HasiProf over at the other side.

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

Mein früherer Kollege vom Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik hält einen Vortrag über Fusionsenergie bei den "Highlights der Physik" in Kiel - vor vollem Haus!

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

@hfalcke @samayanissanke Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

My heartfelt congratulations, Frank!

[German Astronomical Society @GermanAstroSoc]

Congratulations to Frank Eisenhauer from @MPE_Garching who is awarded the 2023 Instrument Development Award for his outstanding contributions to the development of innovative complex infrared instruments for ground-based telescopes #ag2023berlin

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

Really cool stuff from my former institute! Congratulations, Brent. And what a wonderful reference to the Kumulipo.

[Corey S. Powell @coreyspowell]

Astronomers may have spotted the first single Baryon Acoustic Oscillation -- a sonic bubble created shortly after the Big Bang, now frozen into the structure of the universe.
Astonishing work by @DanielPomarede, Brent Tully, and team. https://t.co/y4DiDduyP6

@SheerPriya Sorry to hear this! I send a bunch of energy and a big hug your way.

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

@Dr_ThomasZ Hi Thomas, nice to hear from you. So far the finding both of early galaxies and early black holes is fully in line with the primordial black hole expectations we predicted before the JWST launch. However, quantitative comparisons are still neccessary.

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

@MatBethermin @WKCosmo @NautilusMag @PaulMattSutter Yes!

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

I wonder, why so many people completely ignore the possibility that Dark Matter is made of primordial black holes. Even if you do not believe in it, you should st least discuss it and say so!

[Quanta Magazine @QuantaMagazine]

We still don’t understand the nature of dark matter nearly a century after its discovery. For @NautilusMag, @PaulMattSutter writes about the current state of dark matter research — what we know, and what we don’t.

@IBJIYONGI There is some of it, but not enough ;-)

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

@WKCosmo I know, and I wrote and co-authored a few of them myself. I am, however, referring to popular literature, where they are often basically ignored. Like e.g. @NautilusMag, @PaulMattSutter claim to write about the current state of dark matter research, ignoring PBH.

Right now on stage at the @futureSAX Innovationskonferenz, talking about innovation potentials between Science and Business. #InnovationInSachsen

Congratulations to the @ESA_Euclid teams for a picture-book launch! Good luck for the commissioning!

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

What a relief to see the Euclid mission on this rocket today! Good luck. Go Euclid go!

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

Keeping fingers crosswd for success tomorrow! Best of luck for @ESA_Euclid

[gaitee @onlygaitee]

A privilege to be here in Orlando with so many of the people who painstakingly designed & constructed the mission to deliver on its ambitious scientific goals- it’s been a long road but with any luck @ESA_Euclid will soon be well on its way !

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

@samayanissanke @jason__rhodes Good luck to you all! Hope you will get better soon.

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

@Leaving_Orbit Oh sorry! No idea, what that is.

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

Absolutely fascinating result on gravitational wave background from merging supermassive black holes. Congratulations to the international teams of scientists. This is one of the top research areas, which the new @astrozentrum will embark on!

Bon voyage!

[Thomas Zurbuchen @Dr_ThomasZ]

My final neighborhood run in McLean after 6+ years here. The movers are scheduled and we are ready for new homes and new goals. See you soon, Park City, see you soon Zürich 🇺🇸🇨🇭

[Prof. Günther Hasinger @HasingerProf]

Oh no! So sorry! R.I.P. Nick

[Joss Bland-Hawthorn @JossBlandHawtho]

Still reeling at the loss of my dear friend and colleague - Nick Kaiser - a very gifted cosmologist living in Paris.
