And now. The Award of Awards: the Bruce Gold Medal that is awarded to Ellen Gould Zweibel. Ellens nomination packet made me pause. I didn't know her, but ppl that I did know said Ellen was their compass -- a human who had compassion and brilliance in equal volumes.

Time to explore 💻🌌🌎! The new #virtualtours of @NSF's @NOIRLabastro are now available! Discover 7 locations, from the mountains of Chile to the towering slopes of Maunakea, from the rocky terrain of @KittPeakNatObs to NOIRLab Headquarters in Tucson. https://t.co/EYBdQqu5HA

Dhanesh Krishnarao, assistant professor of physics, was recently awarded a $66,902 grant from the Space Telescope Science Institute, a research arm of @NASA. With the grant, Krishnarao and his research students study the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Hubble has detected a protective shield defending a pair of neighboring dwarf galaxies. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds have been on a tumultuous journey through space, orbiting one another while being torn by the gravitational pull of our Milky Way galaxy. (1/6)

[Dr. Dhanesh Krishnarao @DK_and_a_bit]

Wondering how the Magellanic Clouds stay intact while falling in to the mighty Milky Way? These nearby little galaxies are cocooned within a massive, protective hot halo of gas around 300,000 K, extending at least 100,000 light years — The Magellanic Corona! Out today in Nature!

@schwanerhill Wow, I thought this was just my devices today. Good to know!

@JokesAstro Just the wurst…

Blair Savage, professor emeritus of the University of Wisconsin, died of cancer last night (July 18), preceded in death by his wife Linda just a few months ago. I will share more later, but he was a huge influence on my life and a source of support and encouragement. RIP Blair.

[Matt Haffner @LMHaffner]

@schwanerhill Wow. That's terrible! So sorry your trip fell through :(

[Matt Haffner @LMHaffner]

@DK_and_a_bit @ColoradoCollege Wow. Window! Color! So jealous!

[Matt Haffner @LMHaffner]

@schwanerhill Lucky to be teaching courses this year that were virtual last year for me. Offered past segments only to those out with legitimate excuses-appreciated by students while keeping "live" lectures high value. No uni. support for in-person recording going forward, though.

[Dr. Dhanesh Krishnarao @DK_and_a_bit]

New paper today! And a fun one that came about after @zpacefromspace and I listened to a talk and realized we could test/use a predicted feature in @MaNGASurvey observations!
We find out what “Dark Gaps” in galaxies really are and find that they are tied to bar resonances!

@naomimcgriff @bobabenjamin “Warm” is when the snow can melt, flowing liberally across the sidewalks, so that the nighttime dog walk at 0 deg C becomes an exciting adventure making one marvel that humans decided that walking on two limbs was a good idea…

@schwanerhill Yikes! Hope she feels better very soon.

@radioclairity @stsci Congrats! 🎊

[Dr. Kat Barger @KatBarger]

I'm hiring a postdoc Fall 2022 to work on the “The Large Magellanic Cloud’s Galactic Wind through the Eyes of ULLYSES” Hubble Legacy Archive project to characterize the mechanical feedback from the LMC and its impact on the galaxy’s environment: https://t.co/0h6v140EDQ

[Matt Haffner @LMHaffner]

@Nattie_G_ Yikes! Take care of that noggin! 🧠 Hope you feel better soon.

[Matt Haffner @LMHaffner]

@astroJulieDavis Awesome! Good luck!

[Matt Haffner @LMHaffner]

@piano_physics @sarahistotle 👏👏👏 Woo! Congrats, Dr.! 🎉
