WE JUST GOT EMERGENCY TIME ON THE MEERKAT RADIO TELESCOPE TO LOOK TOMORROW AT THE CLOSEST SUPERNOVA IA IN OVER A DECADE!!! 🤩🥳📡

SN2026ahvu happened Nov 2 in NGC 1433, ~9Mpc (46mil light years) from us. Observations should probe the innermost regions around the SN and may reveal why it exploded! 🔭🧪

Happy birthday to the only two women with elements named after them on the periodic table: #MarieCurie & #LiseMeitner.

As I do every year, I will once again repeat my proposal that November 7 should be International #WomenInSTEM Day!

Astrometrist & mathematician Dr. Ida Barney mapped the cosmos with immense precision.

Best-known for her 22 volumes of stellar proper motions, providing the positions/movements for 150,000 stars. Her precision ensures these catalogs are still utilized in proper motion studies today.🧵
