📡This weekend, nature displayed its might with fierce winds and a stunning snowfall. For safety, we closed access to the antennas and interrupted our observations. A minor setback that gave us these amazing views that we just had to share.

📡Update: The Crisis Management Team has developed a full-recovery plan in consultation with cyber security officers from @ESO @prcnaoj_en @TheNRAO . Our priority is to work hard to resume observations before the end of the year. Thanks for all the support https://t.co/1zunQ9uai5

@jgeach Hi Jim, that's strange. Are you e-mailing in reponse to a helpdesk ticket? If so, that functionality is current unavailable due to the recent cyberattack at ALMA. I'll send you a follow-up email now.
Cheers, Dan

@umm_rit @RoyalAstroSoc @jgreaves @DrPhosphine @davecl42 @sukritranjan @jgreaves6 The clouds of Venus are about 90% sulphuric acid. Extremophiles on the Earth that live in acidic conditions can tolerate about 5% acid. So, the organisms that may exist in the clouds of Venus would need to protect themselves in some way. #AskTeamVenus

@ttencate The @eao_jcmt and @almaobs were conducted 2 years apart, in the north and south hemisphere respectively. Observations were calibrated to remove atmospheric effects & the observed PH3 signature is comparable in velocity & width between both making the Earth's atmosphere unlikely.
