🆕📽️ Elisa Tau (U. de La Serena) joins us from Chile to chat about dwarf galaxies: youtube.com/watch?v=r0_0U3…

The goal of the AAS Journals Author Series is to connect authors w/their article, their human story & the larger #astronomy community. #TheGoodStuff

Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies: Not as Small as We Thought?

astrobites's Brandon Pries reports on how astronomers use pulsating stars to look for stellar halos around ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, some of the smallest galaxies in the universe.

From Skylar Grayson: The Hubble Tension is one of the great mysteries of modern cosmology…can today’s paper help us solve it? 🔭✨️

Two weeks left to apply for postdoc positions in star formation and galaxy evolution as part of my new department at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy! Details and application instructions here: mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/8552077/job_fu… Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie

New paper arxiv.org/abs/2404.08048 led by Nikhil. We examine the claimed link between GRB 201006 and the FRB that appeared ~1hr later. We think
1. The association is not statistically robust,
2. The remnant is unlikely to be a long-lived neutron star; instead, likely a black hole.

You might have seen the April 8 eclipse from our own planet. Well, here's what it looked like from the Moon.

Our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been at the Moon for nearly 15 years, turned towards Earth to capture the Moon's shadow. #TeamMoon

Just in – data from our newest Earth-observing satellite, PACE!

With PACE data, scientists can study microscopic life in the ocean and particles in the air, allowing us to monitor ocean health, air pollution, and impacts of climate change. More: go.nasa.gov/4aNNGe2
