For the first time, here is our galaxy seen in the "light" of neutrinos. A remarkable achievement by the team at @uw_icecube.

In eight new papers, @NANOGrav presents evidence for a gravitational wave background. In this bite, we provide an overview of their results and their implications #pulsartimingarrays #GravitationalWaves

Starlifting - how make stars like the Sun live billions of years longer. Now with full MESA evolutionary tracks! https://t.co/yfR52fc2bY

[Andrew Pontzen @apontzen]

Allow me to share three great events at #cheltscifest this year. First, THE MOST AUDACIOUS TELESCOPE IN HISTORY with Richard Ellis and @StellarPlanet - all about JWST and its astounding technology and discoveries https://t.co/OLSgoNw3sO 1/3

preposterous proposition or plausible possibility?

Breaking my Twitter moratorium to make sure astronomers are aware there is a new supernova in M101 at 7 Mpc. It is a core collapse supernova caught very young, at 14.9 mag. Supernovae this close only come around once a decade, so get on it! https://t.co/s3a6CuxLMd

Neutron star black hole merger klaxon! 💥 https://t.co/Rozm1Nkgm1

Fantastic! Remnants of the #SAR2667 fireball have been retrieved in France by an 18-yr old student.

Track of C/2022 E3 (ZTF) 4-19 Feb, showing the comet's encounters with Capella, the Kids asterism, Hassaleh (Iota Aurigae), Mars, the Hyades and Aldebaran. Main tick marks are for 00:00 UT on the date shown, smaller ones at 6 hourly intervals.

[Pete Lawrence @Avertedvision]

Better process of Mars and the Moon from this morning (04:57:57 UT to be precise!)

A movie of planet #Mars disappearing behind the moon, sped up 8x. Imaged from Guildford, UK. #Moon #Occultation #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Space

[Steve Fossey @sjfossey]

@einionyn Even better! Puts my humble greyscale sequence of stills well in the shade!

[Steve Fossey @sjfossey]

#Mars occulted by the Moon - quick sequence from one of UCL Observatory's robotic telescopes (0.1-sec in H-alpha filter) #marsoccultation @uclmaps @UCLOAstroSphinx

[Steve Fossey @sjfossey]

@einionyn Excellent, @einionyn !

[Steve Fossey @sjfossey]

Couple of quick shots of the #Eclipse2022 ... one through trees (and passing aircraft), and one with sunspots

[Steve Fossey @sjfossey]

@astro__will Congratulations, Will, extremely well deserved! This made my day when I saw this!

[UCL News @uclnews]

Congratulations to Dr William Dunn @astro__will @uclmaps on being awarded the 2022 Henry Moseley Medal and Prize by the Institute of Physics @PhysicsNews for his discoveries around the X-ray emissions of Jupiter and Uranus

New image of the Didymos/Dimorphos with a 0.61-m telescope via @TelescopeLiveHQ on Sept 29.17 (∼53 hours after impact) shows narrow tail now at 120" arcsec long. OBS E. Guido, M. Rocchetto, @UCLOAstroSphinx @sjfossey cc @LICIACube @elakdawalla @ASI_spazio #DARTsmash #DARTMission
