Agujero negro en nuestra galaxia. La comunidad astronómica ya había observado algunas estrellas orbitando alrededor de un punto compacto y masivo, lo que apuntaba a la existencia del agujero negro SgrA*🌀. La imagen del #EHT constituye la primera prueba visual directa de esto.

Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics are timeless: their main strength is in demonstrating how to reason about physics. You may not know all the lectures are completely online:
Volume 1: feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/…
Volume 2: feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/…
Volume 3: feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/…

Hi Phil! For the past few years, the granular community has been trying to explain (and replicate) the rays formation observed on the moon surface. There are two mechanisms for producing rays: (i) the surface can present undulations (see journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac…)

Today at 65 session of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space #COPUOS 🇨🇳 China addressed dark and quiet skies. We value the support of member states to discuss this item at the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee.

☄Extremely happy to report that Chile's newly (tonight!) agreed draft Constitution includes the protection of clear skies and atmosphere. This reflects the recognition of the importance of these issues for astronomy 🪐🌌 #ChileProtegeSuCielo

Revealing the 1st image of the black hole in the center of our Galaxy by @ehtelescope!
Epic zoom into the dark heart of the Milky Way using radio light. I hope you like it …

My attempt to give some scale to the @ehtelescope image of the Sgr A* black hole in the centre of our Milky Way.
Earth's orbit around the Sun is ~150 million km radius, while Sgr A*'s Schwarzschild radius (or event horizon) is ~12 million km.
Sun & Earth dots are not to scale.

Science is for everyone, so it's really important that it is accessible. HT to @kimberlykowal and the NASA visualisation/sonification team for making 3D printable tactile images, and soundscapes, of #OurBlackHole! You can find them at: chandra.si.edu/photo/2022/sg…

Este gran descubrimiento se hizo con ocho radiotelescopios ubicados en la Tierra. Observar y entender el Universo necesita tener condiciones atmosféricas y climáticas específicas. El cielo del Desierto de Atacama es ideal para este propósito, pero tenemos que protegerlo 🌎🏜 -->
