¿DE DÓNDE VIENE EL ORO?

Los elementos más pesados se originan de explosiones de supernovas: esto es cierto hasta el rubidio (nro. atómico 37).

Pero el origen de elementos más pesados aún, como el oro (79), está en las colisiones entre poderosas estrellas de neutrones.

How to be a PhD student:
1. Open 30 arXiv tabs
2. Never read any of them

Our fleet of cosmic observers investigates the Universe across the electromagnetic spectrum.

These missions enable astronomers to tackle big questions such as the origin & evolution of our Universe, from its early beginnings to the stars and galaxies we observe today.

This month, we're taking a closer look at:

🕵️ Euclid, our dark Universe detective
🎇 Webb, peering farther into our origins
🌀 Hubble, still expanding the frontiers of the visible Universe
✨ Gaia, our billion star surveyor

Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole?

Thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, we're kicking off #BlackHoleWeek with a virtual plunge into the event horizon—a black hole's point of no return: https://t.co/aIk9MC1ayK

Para tener enemigos no hace falta una guerra, sino fabricarlos. Y en Ecuador, el discurso bélico que maneja el Gobierno Nacional es pretexto perfecto para levantar pasiones, como el antaño patriotismo, porque vende mucho ¿Noboa se excusa en esta sensación para tapar su ineficacia, por ejemplo, tras la fuga de "Fito" o Colón Pico?

Wednesday mood

[El Jose @graciasaljose]

1) Contemplar las decisiones que pusieron a Lasso en el poder.
2) Preguntarse qué puedo hacer yo para destruir el sistema.
3) Resolver la paradoja de por qué seguimos poniendo empresarios en la Presidencia.
4) Exhortar a Lasso a que renuncie.
5) Gritar.

Light and gravitational waves don’t arrive simultaneously
If light and gravitational waves both travel at "c," then why did the first light signal arrive 1.7 seconds after the last gravitational waves from a kilonova event?
Science closes in on the answer.

Update! The Resolve detector on @JAXA_en’s XRISM observatory has successfully cooled down for the first time to just about 50 milliKelvin. Just how cold is that? Check out this infographic to see how that temperature compares to more familiar ones. https://t.co/NOY6VHwCwW

Hubble has studied the expansion rate of our universe for decades, but there’s a difference between what is predicted & observed, called Hubble Tension. Nobel Laureate Adam Reiss explains in this video!
