What would you do if a supernova appeared in the sky two days before your wedding? You cancel fireworks for the wedding and go observe it:))) Results are now published in nature this week. Great work led by our ZTF Survey partners from Weizmann Institute youtube.com/watch?v=6megAX…
Stars die..can we hear them? Thanks to this fantastic outreach project, we have turned the ZTF Survey images of supernovae into a celestial symphony. Hear a short snippet of the whole 28 min piece produced with data from 8000 supernovae!

Mention Palomar to any astronomer and they immediately think of the Hale telescope. Watch this new video guide to learn about Hale's small siblings, ZTF Survey Samuel Oschin 48' and its 60' companion that have done some heavy lifting in science as well. youtube.com/watch?v=L_4vTL…
Our Cornell University ZTF Survey partner Anna Ho is another recipient of the 2024 Sloan Research Awards bestowed on 'the most inventive and impactful early-career scientists across the U.S. and Canada'. Anna explores how and why stars die in extreme explosions. Congratulations!
Congratulations to our French partner Mickael Rigault from CNRS Nucléaire & Particules who is leading the cosmology science with ZTF Survey. Mickael was awarded a bronze medal from the @CNRS, one of the most prestigious awards for early career scientists in France.
The person who says for himself that he's never been the ideal scientist, who envisioned & realized ZTF Survey, prof Shri Kulkarni is giving the prestigious Watson lecture at Caltech on Feb 7th at 7:30pm. Don't miss is you are around. youtube.com/watch?v=HHCGjc…

The universe invariably treats us to something amazing! This time, a team of astronomers led by ZTF Survey collaborator Ping Chen Weizmann Institute has seen the first direct evidence of the formation of a neutron star or black hole from a supernova! nature.com/articles/s4158…
ZTF Survey collaborator Erez Zimmerman currently at Weizmann Institute is presenting today (Jan 9) at 11:10 am local time in the special session 'SN 2023ixf: The Closest Supernova in a Decade'. Erez will cover some of the UV observations of 2023ixf. #AAS243 submissions.mirasmart.com/AAS243/Itinera…
Congrats to KODALI who became the first-ever millionaire of transients! They hit 1 MILLION points in our ZTF Survey astro outreach app ZARTH this week! 🚀🏆 Along this stellar journey, KODALI has become a master in capturing cosmic flashes. Do you want to be a millionaire?
