Look in the upper arm of this galaxy- you'll see a star appear to blink in and out of existence. That's a supernova! Very recently discovered in m101: the Pinwheel galaxy (which I happened to be shooting when this happened)

Their work revolutionised our understanding of some of the most extreme objects in the universe, magnetars (highly magnetised, rapidly rotating neutron stars). Thought to be the source of some of the most energetic explosions we can see, superluminous supernovae

With solar and auroral activity picking up, great to get first light from our new very low frequency (VLF) antenna @DIASDunsink (overplotted with data from Birr). Seems to be working! Nice work @tcdastro final year project student @oscar_s_ohara!

A group of physicists led by the @QuSysTCD team at Trinity has proposed a #quantum thermometer that could measure the coldest temperatures in the universe (a billion times colder than those in outer space). Read more at: https://t.co/wNhaNOz9GF

Keep your eyes to the night skies this week for a chance to see the peak of the Perseids meteor shower! 🌠
Morning all. The Perseids meteor shower peaks on Tues & Wed night. Here’s a chart of where to look for them along with a short piece I did. Articles also at https://t.co/kJqAwkFUWa and https://t.co/cyNx4cG6iz 🤞for clear skies!
