‼️GALAH DR4 IS LIVE ‼️

Huge congratulations to @astro_sven for the monumental effort required to make the DR4 dream a reality ✨

Globular cluster summary 🧵will be coming in a few days 💫

[Sven Buder @astro_sven]

GALAH DR4 is now public! 10 years of observations, 995 nights (incl. rainy/snowy/cloudy ones), 32 elements (incl. nitrogen), 0.92 Mio. stars, 1.09 Mio. spectra, thanks to an amazing group of observers, engineers, and astronomers. Paper: https://t.co/ns5LWbJ88h with links to data.

Yesterday we celebrated the UK Paralympic movement and the Paris 2024 @Paralympic Games - all aided by the incredible, creative, inclusive work of @channel4 and @mahonalex. 

More coverage and more inclusive than ever before. These Games teach us that true greatness lies not in perfection but in perseverance.

Celebrating 50 years of the Institute of Astronomy (IoA) @cambridge_astro this week, with talks across the board: exoplanets, stars, galaxies & cosmology. Eva Schinnerer is talking about one of my favourite galaxy features, bubbles! Stunning images showing all kinds of physics!

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

The world’s most powerful space telescope has done it again.

Webb has discovered what appears to be a new record-holder for the most distant known galaxy — shattering its own previous record. This galaxy existed only 290 million years after the big bang: https://t.co/6JN3L2CvRG

🚨 GAME CHANGER PAPER ON ARXIV 🚨
The wonderful Steph Monty has discovered that globular clusters trace the chemical evolution of their host galaxy 🌌 Looking at the accreted stars in the Milky Way, the accreted globular follow the same track 🤯 ( a 🧵) https://t.co/ECIHfbDDtN

[Madeleine McKenzie @MadellanicCloud]

Procrastinating writing my thesis by making a very simple animation for Steph Monty's new paper ⭐️🔭 Feedback/suggestions welcome 💫

Rosemarie Garland Thompson is coming to Oxford to help me lead a series of events about metamorphosis. Her writing about freak shows, monsters, and disability has transformed how I think about the human condition. With @annalandre @khansaMaria2 @SarahGKane & other amazing folks.

@DreiaCarrillo Congratulations!!

[zoe hackshaw @TheAstroZo]

happy holidays to all who celebrate!

@saj_anderson I was just refused by @Uber today for having a guide dog, too. Missed my train; I should be in Brighton with my friends now, instead I’m alone in my room. I was told they made changes to “reduce the chance of [me] being paired with the driver in the future.” Bang-up job, Uber.

[Isabela Presedo-Floyd @isabelapf2]

Notebook authors, I'm thrilled to be able to share recommendations for writing more accessible notebooks! This talk answers questions educators, researchers, and docs writers have been asking me for years.

@StarTrekOnPPlus Aenar SNW cosplay at NY Comic Con this past October!

[Sarah Kane @SarahGKane]

@seanferrick @TrekCulture @CloneStarPod I’m blind, and Star Trek inspired me to study physics and astronomy. Naturally, I just had to cosplay as an Aenar at NYCC this year (gotta love a good blind joke!)
