i always liked earth sciences. geology, biology, botany, things of that nature. physics, astro or otherwise, and math past algebra 2 i did not like so much

Help! Parton Community Council has 60 days to raise £70k to buy Parton Kirk (resting place of James Clerk Maxwell). They plan to turn it into a visitor centre celebrating our great hero! The other buyers could turn it into long-term storage 😬 Even £5 would help 🙏🧪⚛️

Thinking about the time my astro PhD program tried to fail me on my comp by not asking my physics profs for questions for me because they didn’t like that I had taken physics courses and then I passed by answering questions from astro electives I hadn’t taken because they were ridiculously easy

KAS member Jim Kurtz recently captured this image of the globular cluster Omega Centauri from his observatory at Arizona Sky Village. He used a TeleVue 127is telescope and a ZWO ASI071MC camera mounted on an Astro-Physics Mach1GTO mount. The image is a stack of 25 subframes, each lasting 3 minutes.

Ooh yes that sounds good. Jim is just the BEST science communicator. Hope there's lots of astro- and particle physics please.

I'm glad you included this:
"First of all, there are VERY few permanent jobs in astro/physics research in academia... be aware that the much greater likelihood is that after getting a very good education in astro/physics research you will apply what you have learned in some other industry."

I doubled in biochem rather than astro or math with my physics. In part due to acceptance/misogyny issues.

I figured out the department was trying to sabotage me and asked my physics profs to write questions for me but then the exam was like
Astro question: thing the physics classes considered to be super basic
Physics question: derive hard quantum field theory thing
Easy choice lol

Merging supermassive black hole binaries are prime targets for next-generation gravitational wave astronomy.
New GPU-based 3D simulations by SXS researchers Elias Most & Hai-Yang Wang at @caltech.edu reveal strong magnetic fields arresting gas dynamics near the merger.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:
