This is it. The FIRST released video from @VRubinObs. A new era of astronomy starts now! ✨
How many galaxies do you think are in this image? 10 MILLION 🤯
Here, Rubin’s view is focused on the southern region of the Virgo Cluster.

#PhD#podcast
Today I have successfully defended my PhD thesis. This extended but exciting journey spanned almost half a decade with contributions from a lot of people around the world. I am grateful to my wonderful supervisors Prof DK Sahu and Prof. GCA @gcanupama#phd 1/4
I am very happy that our DESI results (https://t.co/allVdW7iF7) are finally out! Some points I would like to comment:
1) Our new Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) measurements using our second data release (DR2) is certainly an improvement over our previous BAO dataset. We now measure BAO using over 14 million galaxies (more than a factor of 2) leading to better signal-to-noise, the sample has better completeness, we include measurements from higher multipoles in the quasar clustering, and our cosmology is consistent with both DESI DR1 and SDSS. We have surpassed also SDSS in terms of effective volume at all redshift bins. (I think the quick figure I attach here makes my point)
🚨 The @DESISurvey just released the largest set of 3D astronomical data ever! It includes data on 18.7 million objects—4M stars, 13.1M galaxies & 1.6M quasars, and is now available for researchers to explore!

Attended the SurveyScienceGroup Workshop2025 learning about the various ongoing and upcoming Surveys & Korea’s participation & contribution in them! (In Korean 🫥)✌🏻
SpaDeX Docking Update:
🌟Docking Success
Spacecraft docking successfully completed! A historic moment.
Let’s walk through the SpaDeX docking process:
Manoeuvre from 15m to 3m hold point completed. Docking initiated with precision, leading to successful spacecraft capture. Retraction completed smoothly, followed by rigidisation for stability. Docking successfully completed.
India became the 4th country to achieve successful Space Docking.
Congratulations to the entire team! Congratulations to India!

#BreakingNews For the first time, astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star✨, R Doradus, were obtained with ALMA📡, in July and August 2023 🔗https://t.co/CDElA8uACe
