Voyage au cœur de l’ube

Originaire des Philippines, l’ube est un tubercule à la chair sucrée d’une étonnante couleur mauve. C’est justement cette teinte très vive qui lui vaut une popularité virale sur les réseaux sociaux!

I love the freely flowering #aubretia in our #garden. They've taken a couple of years to establish after I grew them from #seeds but now they're well & truly part of the garden. I'd like to think they'll self-seed & be permanent members of our borders. We have #pink, #mauve & #purple varieties
These are the 287 target stars for the first year of operations of the unusual commercial space telescope #Mauve from which astronomers buy (!) observing time: at least 5000 hours are available. This map was shown in a webinar by the company behind the mission today while the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.16675 discusses the science themes identified for the first year of operations.

MAUVE Image Simulation

Since the successful launch of the MAUVE satellite on Friday, the telescope has been undergoing verification and calibration. Meanwhile, I’ve been hard at work using my advanced image processing skills to simulate what images of astronomical objects seen in other wavebands might look like using MAUVE.

Here’s an example.

The original picture below is a famous image that needs no introduction. Simply move the slider to the left to reveal the MAUVE version…

P.S. Apologies that the software does not quite scale the images correctly.

Here's an example of the sort of stunning image the #MAUVE telescope is expected to produce...

MAUVE Launched!

After a false start a couple of days ago, the satellite MAUVE was launched at (10.44 Pacific Time (18.44 GMT) today from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on a SpaceX Falcon-9 Transporter-15. So far, about 40 minutes after liftoff, it’s looking good.

You can see the live feed here:

As far as I know the launch went perfectly, but I’m waiting for confirmation of payload deployment, which begins about an hour after launch. The vehicle is carrying 140 different satellites, of which MAUVE (“Mission to Analyze the UltraViolet universE”) is just one.

The following is taken from my previous post. I repeat it here for completeness.

I’m not personally involved in MAUVE but the Department of Physics at Maynooth University is, through my colleague Dr Emma Whelan (who sent the above pictures) and her group. You can read more about the science – related to star and planet formation – it will do in a nice piece by Emma on RTÉ Brainstorm.
