Behold the homemade 1.9m radio telescope, built by DAWNers Gaurav, Kaj, Jiazhe, and Omar📡 The telescope received its first light last week, where the team was able to observe neutral hydrogen in the Milky Way from the institute's backyard. https://t.co/Bk4gPeAHbZ

Maj måned markerer starten på de lyse nætter. Alligevel byder himlen på spændende syn, især hvis du har en lille håndkikkert.

I like Lyman α for many reasons, including its ability to probe reionization:
Earliest sign of the Universe becoming transparent discovered with @ESA_Webb. @JorisWitstok et al. detect the escape of your favorite UV light, Lyman α, the signature of an ionized bubble, only 330M years after the Big Bang. 🇬🇧 https://t.co/RzHqPb4X9h 🇩🇰

In an extensive study on galaxy evolution through cosmic time, Marko Shuntov presents a plethora of interesting result, including how the total mass of the galaxies' stars and dark matter are related. More here: 🇬🇧 https://t.co/96WYOBsvuA 🇩🇰 https://t.co/NCGxFqBG3p

The Gemini's are upon us! So is the full moon, and clouds if you live in Denmark, but these particular meteors can be quite colorful, so get out and look!
Her i den mørke tid får vi alle en fælles julegave. For denne weekend vil stjerneskud danse over den danske nattehimmel. Men skyet vejr og fuldmåne kan påvirke, hvor synlig stjerneskudssværmen bliver. Vi guider via link nedenfor.

⭐️Gå på opdagelse i decembers stjernehimmel med astrofysiker Peter Laursen, @anisotropela, @DAWNCopenhagen😮 https://t.co/OlpwHbyB2E

Især stjernebilledet Orion står flot i al sin pragt. Med det blotte øje kan du se forskel på varme og kolde stjerner og nye stjerner blive skabt.

Well obviously this had to happen: No-one ever remembers the correct 𝚝𝚊𝚛 flags, so unzipped tarballs eventually had to overflow somewhere.
Hundreds of tar balls have surfaced on Sydney beaches. But what are they? Great write up by @Jesse_Hyland

Graffiti in front of my boxing club. Appropriate, since after this morning's class I feel in a bit of a super-punch-ition of dead and alive.

I saw 20 meteors yesterday, some with smoke trails. I also saw the Milky Way, which I haven't seen for years because I rarely leave the city, but most astonishingly I saw — for the first time in my life — aurora! It was amazing!🤩 (shitty photos because old phone)

Want to be the first (human) to see a galaxy observed by @ESA_Euclid? Over 6 years Euclid will observe billions of galaxies, billions of years back in time. Classifying their shapes helps understanding their evolution, but your help is needed! More here: https://t.co/SJ7LmaDFOW

Few have witnessed what you're about to see

Husk at du ikke behøver investere i sterilt vand eller sådan noget, uanset hvor stor en trussel Trold Lund siger, at russerne er :) https://t.co/UimahnWsYz

En halv flaske vand har ligget i køleskabet i månedsvis. Og der er stadig en smule vand i kanden, som har stået på bordet siden sidste uge. Vandet ser jo fint ud. Men kan det drikkes?

Can galaxies move away from us faster than the speed of light? Yes! But can we see them, then? Also yes! I explain here (in Danish): https://t.co/wH7aS90kfx

I attempt to explain the concept "the geometry of the Universe" in the latest episode of @IDAdk Space Talks (in Danish). I don't know if I succeed, but at least I got to bring a donut and a Pringles chip to the studio. https://t.co/wBBjiR5AeF

New record just dropped.
The record for the most distant galaxy has been broken. Again. A small step for Webb, but a somewhat larger step toward the epoch of the first galaxy formation. 🇩🇰 https://t.co/gNpgBiUWpN 🇬🇧 https://t.co/plwHTY3BBw
