As a stargazer, fuck you Elon and SpaceX. There will be a reckoning and when that day comes I hope we can find a plan to clear out those space junks. Space belongs to astronomers, not billionaire corporations.

Giving a talk tonight for my #astronomical society

How many #astronomers do you know who are cool enough to rock #tattoos, 12 #piercings and a leather suit?

#leather suit by Higgs Leathers

For more information about the society visit https://msas.org.uk

The full talk will be broadcast on nomenloony.tv very soon.

My degree is in astrophysics by the way. Yes. I'm that nerd

How do you film a black hole in action?
Astronomers are capturing the first-ever video of a black hole using radio telescopes set up all over the world. Bob McDonald, host of Quirks and Quarks, explains what we could learn about the supermassive black hole at the heart of Messier 87 galaxy that's about 50 million light-years from Earth.

A pair of #astronomers at the European Space Agency (ESA) discovered more than 800 previously undocumented “astrophysical anomalies” hiding in #Hubble’s archives. To do so, researchers David O’Ryan and Pablo Gómez trained an #AI model to comb through Hubble’s 35-year dataset.
The AI model took just 2.5 days to search 100 million image cutouts and flag oddities like jellyfish galaxies. https://www.theverge.com/news/869182/astronomers-ai-discover-cosmic-anomalies-hubble-archives

Astronomers used AI to find 1,400 ‘anomalous objects’ from Hubble archives

AI model AnomalyMatch took just 2.5 days to flag rarities like merging galaxies and gravitational lenses from 100 million image cutouts in Hubble’s archives.
