The NNRY Star Train in Ely is a unique way to enjoy the dark skies. And it was just featured in @nytimes! For the past two years, @CaltechAstro and the DSA provided professional astronomer volunteers that helped passengers learn more about the night sky: https://t.co/dfjeSqIKdZ
Turning 78 today with no thoughts of retiring! Happy birthday, Palomar Observatory!!! Just like every other night, tonight we will open the dome and point the @ztfsurvey camera towards the dark skies. Undoubtedly, the universe will treat you to a lovely fireworks show!
Join us for a FREE afternoon of science demonstrations, solar telescopes, and public-level presentations on black holes, exoplanets, galaxies, and more. Come learn about space with scientists from Caltech, NASA JPL, Carnegie, LIGO, etc. More info at:

Wait? What is shining so brightly atop Palomar mountain under the strong rays of the California sun? It's the newly painted dome that houses the 48" telescope with the robotic @ztfsurvey camera, our tireless explorer of the transient universe! Great work, team!
LIGO-India broke ground on April 23, 2026, at Aundha in the Hingoli district of Maharashtra, located in the western peninsular region of India.

If you are in Malda or North Bengal, interested in the night skies 🌠 and want to try your hand at building your own little telescope 🔭I highly recommend this workshop conducted by @IUCAApune These are a fantastic bunch of talented astronomy outreach folks from Pune I know.
In order to promote interest in Astronomy,
LIGO-India Education and Public Outreach (LI-EPO) created amateur astronomy clubs ("Khagol Manch") in each taluka (sub-district) in the Hingoli region near the LIGO-India site.⭐

This is a photograph of Albert Einstein with an unassuming Indian man you probably haven’t heard enough about. He spent his life working on one idea: women should be able to live with dignity and make their own choices. Thread.

AWARD! In the first festival for our new @LIGO film, “Squeezed Light: Breaking the Quantum Limit,” we won the Finalist Award for Best Documentary at the Physics on Film festival in London this coming weekend. And it’s on the program with INTERSTELLAR!!
⚛ Can small quantum computers accelerate AI on massive classical data? Yes!
I am absolutely thrilled to share our new work proving *honest* exponential quantum advantages in broadly applicable classical tasks. 🧵👇

Caltech alum Mansi Kasliwal (MS '07, PhD '11) has come full circle: from a visit to Palomar Observatory that sparked her scientific path to becoming its first female director. Read about her journey on Techer: https://t.co/X9DoqxWZGC.
How do you explore the most crowded area of the Milky Way? With precision and persistence 🔎
@NASARoman is gearing up to study this region with the Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey. Read more about Roman's observing plans & IPAC's role here: https://t.co/Cil3GCMYnS
Special thanks to Sam Rose (Caltech), Gautam Vashisht (NASA JPL), Diana Roderick and Isaac Wilson (Palomar Observatory) who stopped looking at the stars for a moment to capture a stellar moment in our human history.
