I am extremely proud to announce that our ROSALIA project (ROman Sky Analyst for LSB Imaging & Astronomy) has been selected as one of the NASA/ROSES @NASARoman Wide Field Science awards. We will prepare #Roman to unveil darkest regions of the Universe from @NASAAmes.

I have reinstalled this app to communicate the latest news from NASA budget cuts, in an attempt to communicate them as wide as possible. More in a few.

Espectacular ver nuestro trabajo en publicado en español por @NASA_es 🇪🇦🇺🇲. Hemos encontrado un extraño patrón de rayos X en la galaxia NGC5084. ¿La causa? Posiblemente un agujero negro supermasivo que ha girado sobre su eje, apuntando su jet hacia el plano de la galaxia 🌀🛰.
Un agujero negro desconcertante . Científicos de @NASAUniverse han descubierto un agujero negro que parece estar “de lado”, y que gira en una dirección inesperada con relación a la galaxia que lo rodea, NGC 5084:

@NASA @chandraxray @MAST_News This paper is the peak of three years of work with our colleagues at @NASAAmes, @smithsonian , @KIPAC1, @caltechipac, @stsci, @nmsu, @TheNRAO and @USRAedu, published in The Astrophysical Journal and made available here for everyone here: .

NGC 5084 is the first of many special galaxies to come. Combining multi-wavelength data from X-ray to radio, including optical and infrared is the key to unveil the mysteries of the Universe. This is possible thanks to @NASA public archives like @chandraxray and @MAST_News

@chandraxray @ApachePointObs There were two options left: .1 - Either the supermassive black hole X-ray jet "flipped" recently from vertical to horizontal orientation, or . 2 - The galaxy is essentially a pressure cooker of black hole super-heated gas that is bursting on its poles. NGC 5084 is very unique!

@chandraxray However, all the X-ray emission could be just a supernovae burst. How do we know if the responsible was the supermassive black hole or them? . Our friends at @ApachePointObs in New Mexico came to the rescue. No new stars have been born in the core of NGC5084 in the past Gyrs.

@chandraxray ALMA and Hubble told the other side of the story. There was a gas disk rotating at 250 km/s at only 150 parsecs from the center. To make things rotate that fast, there has to be a supermassive black hole at least 46 millon times heavier than the Sun in the center of NGC 5084.

New processing methods applied to archival @chandraxray observations, helped us to find a extremely large (17 kpc) emission of hot gas bursting above and below the galactic disk of NGC 5084, a extremely massive lenticular galaxy.

Today we release the discovery of a strange cross-shape X-ray emission in the supermassive galaxy NGC 5084. Combining observations from @chandraxray, @NASAHubble, @almaobs, @TheNRAO VLA, and @ApachePointObs, we discovered that this galaxy recently had a galactic collision.
Black hole spotted at an unusual angle. @NASA scientists have discovered a 'sideways' black hole using archival data from Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory as well as new image analysis techniques.

Soon at NASA:. "I know I'm human. And if you were all these AIs, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human."
i’m sorry but who is getting paid to try to hawk gen AI to NASA bc this is just sad to read
