Watch Fraser Cain's latest interview with MilkyWay@home's very own Heidi Jo Newberg! Newberg and Cain discuss rectangular primary mirror telescopes in the search for exoplanets and how that could compare to JWST or DICER. Please check it out: https://t.co/jJk1rP8rdc via @YouTube

With the help of tens of thousands of volunteers, we've been able to reconstruct the dwarf galaxy that left a stream in the night sky! This ancient object was shredded in a collision with the Milky Way billions of years ago.

Thank you to all of the MW@home volunteers, who make it possible for us to locate dark matter in the Milky Way!!!!

We have measured the original shape and mass of the dwarf galaxy that was ripped apart to make the Orphan-Chenab Stream! The paper is out today: https://t.co/r1CBocIiO1

MilkyWay@home is expected to remain down for the next couple days. We do not have a timeline on when the RPI network issues will be resolved. We will let you all know as soon as we find out more about the situation. Thank you again for your patience!

[MilkyWay@home @MilkyWayatHome]

We are not expecting the network to be up before Monday.

[MilkyWay@home @MilkyWayatHome]

MilkyWay@home is currently down due to network issues at RPI. As soon as we know more about the situation, we will let you know. Thank you volunteers for your patience and for all of the work you do for this project.

[MilkyWay@home @MilkyWayatHome]

We will update you when access to the network is restored." 3/3

Did you know that our Milky Way Galaxy has shells? These were formed from a head-on collision between the Milky Way and another galaxy roughly 3 billion years ago! Hear Dr. Heidi Jo Newberg explain the topic here: https://t.co/IyLwTWMDWC

Check out today's press release on discovery of shells in the Milky Way, which are the remains of a dwarf galaxy that crashed through the center of our galaxy 2.7 billion years ago: https://t.co/qPpc0utkcL

We are currently working with the RPI networking team to resolve issues with the new servers network connections.

We will issue updates as this progresses. We are sorry for the delay in receiving and releasing work units.

[MilkyWay@home @MilkyWayatHome]

Hello,

We are currently updating the server hardware. During this process dns information has changed. The new server is online and functional just waiting on dns propagation to confirm full functionality.
