Mega techproject in Nederland! 🤯

Vandaag is er NOG eens €25 miljoen extra uitgetrokken voor de Einstein Telescope in Zuid-Limburg! 🔭

Dit ondergrondse wonder gaat met lasers de geheimen van het universum ontrafelen. 🌌

Vind jij dat dit project naar Nederland moet komen?

One of the things the Einstein Telescope Organisation (ETO) is currently wrapped up in: coordinating the work on a site-independent report that compares the geometries for the #EinsteinTelescope from multiple perspectives (scientific added value, costs, risk, governance and socio-economic impact).

Towards a report on the comparison of geometries for the Einstein Telescope - Einstein Telescope

Will the Einstein Telescope have the shape of a triangle or two L’s? Work on a report outlining pros and cons of both options has commenced.

Télescope Einstein : en quoi consiste ce projet d'observatoire européen spécialisé dans la détection des ondes

Les ambassadeurs des Pays Bas, de Belgique et d'Allemagne se sont réunis à Lille ce jeudi 2 avril 2026 pour présenter le projet européen de télescope souterrain baptisé "Einstein". Un observatoire souterrain d'étude des ondes...

🎤 Public talk (in English) “Gravitational wave astronomy – quo vadis?” in Erlangen âś¨

Michèle Heurs, professor at @unihannover, will give the Lise Meitner Lecture 2026 at the spring meeting of the @DPGPhysik in Erlangen. Entrance to the public evening lecture in English is free.

From the abstract: “Since the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015, we have opened an entirely new observation window into the Universe (complementary to the electromagnetic spectrum, neutrinos, and cosmic rays), heralding the era of multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. A wealth of scientific insights has already been gained – but so much more is yet to be discovered!”

Vandaag 10 jaar geleden https://sailing-dulce.nl/home/article-4802 #GNz11 #einsteintelescope #FastRadioBursts #neutronstars Vrijdag 04-03-2016 Het oude sterrenstelsel in de Grote Beer, dat een team van internationale sterrenkundigen (onder wie drie Nederlanders), staat op een recordafstand van 13,4 miljard lichtjaar. Het stelsel is GN-z11 genoemd (foto boven) en kon ook worden teruggevonden in oudere data van de Hubble Space telescoop en en de Spitzner telescoop. Het verre stelsel bevindt zich in de tijd op 100..
