Skywarden just got a framing assistant. Open any object, get a rotatable, draggable FOV overlay on a real sky survey image - sized to your exact optics and sensor.Auto-rotates to best fit the object into your frame. For larger targets, it calculates the mosaic tile grid too.Try it: https://skywarden.appChangelog: https://adfr.io/projects/skywarden#astrodon #astrophotography #astrophotographer #astronomy #indieDev #skywarden

@yatil I've been eyeing that one too!

The image was taken with the MUSE instrument at the VLT, which captures a spectrum at every single point within its field of view. In other words: it can image extended regions at thousands of different colours or wavelengths simultaneously, allowing astronomers to map the composition and motion of these regions in great detail.Read more: https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2612a/2/2

@phillip That could indeed be a sticking point.

A boom in gravitational waves leaves scientists with more questions than answers: Scientific American reports how we still have much to discover after #GWTC4https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-do-hundreds-of-gravitational-wave-events-reveal-about-the-universe/ by K.

@esoastronomy That's insane! I hope that the application will be denied "for the good of all of humanity"!

Mindblowing ideas coming from this study- 7 billion years ago this galaxy was a Spiral, then an EVENT, it becomes a Barred Spiral and the Solar System gets thrown out into the Galactic suburbs- The Solar System was born of a different environment than the current Solar Neighbourhood, might this explain why our planets are different from most other star systems?- The Solar System has been on quite a journey, is that why Life took so long to leave the oceans?

Our Extremely Large Telescope is already 70% complete!But what would you see if you walked inside it today? The latest Chasing Starlight episode takes you there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IUeLqC-xpo#astrodon #astronomy #astrophysics #space #science #engineering #chile

This image reveals the stars and gas surrounding the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way centre.Now, using our Very Large Telescope, MPE astronomers discovered a new gas cloud orbiting the black hole, solving a puzzling question.More: https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2610a/ ESO/D.

@vicgrinberg Hach, ich musste erst was mit Bank machen, und hab mich ins Thema Zoll generdet. Aber dank #Podcastbubble kann ich jetzt ne Zolltarifnummer für Antimaterie raussuchen

@brunthal and there is of course the framing - what drives the employment, the need to get the work done and the PhD candidate may learn something along the way? Or is it about the PhD candidate learning and growing and on the way some necessary work gets done?

A cosmic hawk and its starry eyasses What looks like a hawk spanning its wings above massive newly born stars is the RCW 36 nebula.Now, a team of astronomers has used, yes, the HAWK-I instrument on our VLT to study the very dim stars called brown dwarfs hidden in the nebula and how they form: https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2609a/ ESO/A.

@vicgrinberg We don’t thank our past selves often enough.
