Deep sky image I took of the Veil Nebula in the Cygnus region. The nebula is a supernova remnant from a star that exploded somewhere between 10,000-20,000 years ago.

Taken with Sony A7RII, Meade telescope, and tracker.

Back to cold days. But at least I got to teach our radio astronomy class outside earlier this week (as per the students' request).

Does anyone actually not tear up even a little writing the acknowledgements section to their PhD thesis?

@RaySSharma The real name? We call it ACT J0209, but it's also known as the Red Radio Ring by another group who first confirmed the lensed nature.

1/ I have a degree in Astrophysics and two degrees in physics. I am Indigenous and Chicana. As an indigenous scientist absolutely in love with space and our ways of studying it, it has been very difficult watching what is happening to #MaunaKea and #TMTShutdown #ProtectMaunaKea

Doing physics demos at Camden Elementary School (@IAm_Camden) ! I had a great time doing it with @anchwr @JunoRavin and @SheehanRaziel . I's always kind of weird to hear yourself in a recording, though. #outreach https://t.co/fOmCkh6XR4
