rdmAs an amateur #astronomer and #astrophotographer, I often use parsecs as a unit of measure.
Turns out a certain well known #astrophysicist hates them.
And for good reason.

@spacefeed.bsky.social When a star as massive as Betelgeuse goes #nova or #supernova then the jet of energetic Gamma-ray bursts that it releases, are typically ejected from its poles. If the pole is not pointed towards earth then it is possible that it will not impact earth. The same should occur for UV radiation too. Can any #astrophysicist please verify this?

Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬New #Hubble images may solve the case of a disappearing exoplanet
A fading dust cloud hints that the once-seen #exoplanet #FomalhautB was never a #planet
“What’s cool about this paper is that for the first time ever we are seeing one of these disks change over time,” says #astrophysicist Tim Pearce. That’s unusual in the field of protoplanetary disks, where scientists usually observe structures that “basically look the same for a human lifetime.”

Wynn GardeIf you asked me, before now, what #profession I admire the most, I would have said #Scientist.. specifically #Physicist.. more specifically #Astrophysicist.. and #VideoGameDevelopers.. especially underpaid, overworked, & passionate #GameDevs.
I still admire them.
But now, the profession I admire the most is #Educator.. specifically Teachers.. more specifically #GreatEducators.. #GreatTeachers.

Knowledge Zone#OnThisDay Happy Birthday Swiss #Astrophysicist Michel Mayor (1942). He discovered 51 Pegasi b, the first extrasolar planet orbiting a sun-like star, 51 Pegasi and won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics along with Jim Peebles and Didier Queloz.
Birth Anniversary of "Smokin' Joe" Joe Frazier (1944) - undisputed heavyweight champion from 1970 to 1973, and as an amateur won a gold medal at the 1964 Summer Olympics.
Ele Willoughby, PhDDay 4 of #artAdventCalendar is my portrait of British-born, American #astrophysicist Margaret Burbidge (1919-2020) who was one of the people instrumental in building our understanding of stellar nucleosynthesis, how nuclei are produced in stars & you and I are all stardust! She was the 1st author of a monumental scientific paper Synthesis of the Elements in Stars, which became known as B2FH from the initials of its authors: 🧵
