This enormous disk object formed soon after the Big Bang, challenging what we know about how galaxies grow. @themiyan @Swinburne https://t.co/70J3gy5WtG

@Introspect_Rych Amazing result🍾🎉! Congrats to Sander and team!

Long-period radio transients emit powerful polarized signals lasting up to ~an hour. While their origin is debated, ASKAP J1935+2148's discovery with diverse (neutron-star-like) emission modes challenges our ideas of these phenomena. @ManishaCaleb et al.: https://t.co/8OB1WRGcf4

@Introspect_Rych These maps looks awesome! Crazy stuff!

@karlglazebrook And here is mine!

[Themiya Nanayakkara @ThemiyaN]

JWST Master Class in Melbourne. 3 days of learning how to plan, observe, and reduce data from @NASAWebb at JADC @Swinburne. Thanks for @AusSpaceAgency for financial support and @stsci for providing expertise.

[Themiya Nanayakkara @ThemiyaN]

@jorryt_m wow! 😍

[Themiya Nanayakkara @ThemiyaN]

@Introspect_Rych @astrobellatrix No change.

A first look at our efforts to exploit JWST-ALMA synergy

[ESA Webb Telescope @ESA_Webb]

#Webb has captured new images of #Jupiter! The new observations feature visible auroras that extend to high altitudes above Jupiter's northern and southern poles. Explore the new images here: https://t.co/mn366GZ6BQ

Tonight with @ThemiyaN @coljac and Nicha Leethochawalit. Come and here what the GLASS team has done with the first JWST data. https://t.co/hsCGTBh0YO

[Themiya Nanayakkara @ThemiyaN]

@dr_guangtou @fengwu_sun Yes

[Themiya Nanayakkara @ThemiyaN]

@fengwu_sun @dr_guangtou Nice work. Congrats!
Yes, we had a GLASS-ERS paper accepted last week. Good to see peer reviewed results coming out now!

[Themiya Nanayakkara @ThemiyaN]

@sfseiji @gbrammer Many congrats Seiji! 🎊

[Karl Glazebrook @karlglazebrook]

I am giving a public talk (joint talk with @coljac and @ThemiyaN) on the first JWST science at @Swinburne https://t.co/hsCGTBh0YO

[Peter Laursen @anisotropela]

Are you teaching a course on #LymanAlpha?
Giving a talk? Or just Lyman α-curious? 🧴

I made some nice animations that you can use, and wrote some short introductions to the wonders of Lyman α:

@jorryt_m @Introspect_Rych @sarahkendrew I wonder if nebular continuum from these (massuve, hence dustier?) galaxies can be that prominent? There can be slight ZP variations that drive this too I guess.

That’s a wrap on a great 1st day of the #IAUGA2022 FM4: UV Insights to Massive Stars and Stellar Clusters!

[Themiya Nanayakkara @ThemiyaN]

@janerrigby Thought v1.1 would be it! After tens of iterations with @karlglazebrook glad v7 made it! Astrometry (thanks @gbrammer!) and TA on "good" sources was the tricky part.
