Is that a black hole in @kevinabundy's hand? No, it's the FOBOS UV channel... That little filter he's holding passes only UV light, 300-400 nm. FOBOS will see at UV and near-IR wavelengths that are totally dark to human eyes.

[FOBOS Keck @FobosKeck]

In the LSST era, we'll have target densities of 40 per sq. arcmin all over the sky (r~25). FOBOS targeting averages 6 per sq. arcmin. This lets us "resolve" galaxy environments and build deep samples with high efficiency... (PFS gets 0.6 per sq. arcmin and DESI gets 0.2)

[FOBOS Keck @FobosKeck]

We're recruiting science ideas to build on the FOBOS #Astro2020 white paper (https://t.co/qhfcYjefn7). 1800 fibers, 0.31-1 um, R~3500, IFU modes, and DEEP! A next generation facility for @keckobservatory.

@BrittLundgren @johnpaulshammas Would a red geyser in the Milky Way destroy Earth? Worry not! ... but send more science funding to be sure.

[Kevin Bundy @kevinabundy]

@GrumpyKelson Thanks for the refs! We couldn't do these and others justice within Nature's format restrictions. Hope to remedy in a followup

New paper! Francesco Belfiore and coauthors show that "many galaxies are LIERs" https://t.co/P6isg9JVew

@MaNGASurvey @sdssurveys Strawberries? I'm so missing out but following with rapt attention from 36,006 ft. Thanks united in flight wifi!

[Kevin Bundy @kevinabundy]

@MaNGASurvey <blushing> Not true, but very kind. 😊
