Top Tweets for #ObservingRun
The @LIGO/@ego_virgo/@KAGRA_PR collaboration, with the participation of #ICCUB-@IEEC_space, started the next #ObservingRun to explore the secrets of the universe💫
This new run promises to observe more #gravitational waves and from fainter events💥

SCIENE RUN #5 (S5)
11/04/2005 - 9/30/2007
This would be the longest Science Run which ran almost 2years! The upcoming #ObservingRun4 will be 1.5years.

SCIENCE RUN #4 (S4)
2/24/2005 - 3/23/2005
Now we switch our units to Megaparsecs (Mpc)!

SCIENCE RUN #3 (S3)
10/31/2003 - 1/9/2004
Finally no longer in fractions of Megaparsecs! (but here we still use kpc).
As sensitivity increases, so does the duration of the science runs.

Closer to Dec 2022 we'll be holding more webinars and posting more news about our next #ObservingRun - and the #GravitationalWaves event rate expected for #O4. We could be looking at an event every 1 - 2 days; that's a lot more #BlackHoles mergers in 2023! #BlackHoleWeek
Another month, another #observingrun with the @AstronomyatBU Perkins Telescope in Flagstaff, AZ. Only this time, we aren’t starting well - monsoon season in Arizona has us clouded out/too humid tonight. 🤞for tomorrow night!!
Primary mirror of 4-meter Victor Blanco Telescope at Cerro Tololo @NOAOSouth. Lately, delivered images for Dark Energy Survey after major telescope mods to hold giant mosaic camera. My only #observingrun w/Blanco tel was also 1st trip to Chile in 1983. #TelescopeTuesday
Found this actual cassette mix tape from my @ucsc @LickObservatory student days while sheltering in basement during tornado warning. Used in many #observingrun nights starting ~1980. Is anyone surprised at the tracks?
Day 7 of 7 day observing trip. More clouds in the sky so we will see what happens. Got decent sleep last night and a sum of two oranges 🍊 mixed with theater popcorn and an icee in my belly. Let’s hit it! #observingrun #blackandstem #readyforbadskies
Reality for an observing run when the wind is acting up or really just between waiting for exposures to finish. 🤳🏾 @astrocmwood @AstronomerPat #observingrun #astronomers
Day 6 of 7 day observing trip. We took some measurements on MODS last night. Got my Hidden Figures shirt on, fresh yawn 🥱 in, and I am running on a Klondike bar and a can of root beer 🍺. It’s pretty cloudy☁️ out so we will see what happens tonight. TBD #observingrun #sleepy
Day 5 of 7 Day observing run. We are almost there. @astrocmwood and I are hungry, but I got decent sleep. We had some periods of great seeing last night. Bonus: I got a great twist-out because I brought my hair supplies last night👩🏾🦱👏🏾. #hangry #BLACKandSTEM #observingrun
Day 4 of 7 day observing run. We ran from 5pm-7:30am last night. So it was a long night! BUT, I learned how to take images with the LBC and figured out I made a plot wrong in my research! So I was attempting unit conversions at 5am last night 🎉 #observingrun #myspectrumiswrong
#StarWarsRewatch Episode 4 opened in theaters the same week as my 1st #observingrun at Kitt Peak. I can't ever hear "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy" without thinking of this view back toward Tucson.
I continue to collate data on backlit-galaxy work from various #observingrun s. I was very struck at how well the B+I images in this composite of UGC 1689 and its background galaxies compare to @NASAHubble STARSMOG image. Mean FWHM=0.36 arcsecond, from @WIYNObservatory.
Secondary mirror of 3.5m @WIYNObservatory telescope, with slightly defocussed images of @galaxyzoo observers. From our 1st followup #observingrun in 2008. #TelescopeTuesday [200 in a weekly series]

#observingrun addendum
Twilight was coming and the H-alpha filter was in anyway. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'd never noticed the "Running Gumby with thought balloon" dust cloud before. (JKT, La Palma)
Remote #observingrun back-to-back from La Palma and Kitt Peak. Summer solstice + full moon makes me think this was one of the lats of our nights I scheduled (fault of Past Me). OTOH, it's clear both places. So H-alpha and I bands it will be.
So, whenever I feel the urge to complain about bad weather on an #observingrun... (I still will complain, but feel bad about it)
In 1760, Guillaume Le Gentil set out to observe a transit of Venus in India. He returned home 11 years later--presumed dead, his assets scattered, his wife remarried. Oh, and he was clouded out & never saw anything. https://t.co/uWLVndTBzV
Weird things during #observingrun: listened to recording of Arthur C. Clarke reading "The Star".
While measuring the newly-discovered supernova in NGC 4321.
