The Hubble space telescope turned 36 recently, and requested Earth send up some ibuprofen and a foot massager.

It's a rare treat to see Hubble up close.

So, #NASA's #apod is back? https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/

The future of astronomy is bright. That is not good.

I've seen this photo but I didn't know the term for those days and the astronomical details behind this - as described by the trusted time and date website timeanddate.com - are also pretty fascinating.

When it becomes operational, the Roman Space Telescope is expected to offer scientists an unprecedented look into the cosmos,
boasting an 8-foot (2.4-meter) mirror similar to the Hubble Space Telescope,
but with a field of view 100 times larger than Hubble's.
Roman is also outfitted with a coronagraph that allows it to block the light from distant stars, enabling it to see planets that might be orbiting around those stars.
If all goes according to plan, Roman will …

The observatory was recently blasted with acoustic waves equal to the loudness of a jet engine from 100 feet away.

Can #AI do #neuroscience without understanding? https://www.thetransmitter.org/machine-lea

Can AI do neuroscience without understanding?
Prediction without understanding sustained astronomy through a thousand years of epicycles. Artificial intelligence is now offering neuroscience the same deal.

From collider experiments to large-scale astronomy systems, this session by Dmitriy Kostunin and Julian von Hoerschelmann-Schliwinski takes an honest look at where AI delivers measurable gains, and where it falls short.

Deeply ambivalent on this piece in the FT. On the one hand as @… lays out so well, we're polluting the atmosphere and destroyo astronomy with these satellite launches, and there's a real risk for Kessler syndrome.
On the other hand, I've used Starlink myself (in Antarctica) - it's extremely useful and Europe is indeed being left far behind.

The First Thing They Burn: Why War Always Comes for Beauty
When the Mongol army sacked Baghdad in 1258, they did not stop at killing the Caliph. They threw the contents of the House of Wisdom into the Tigris. Manuscripts on astronomy, medicine, mathematics, philosophy, and poetry turned the river black with ink for days. Killing people was not enough. What those people had made, what they had thought and dreamed and rendered into form, that had to be annihilated too.

Who needs a telescope when you have 1140 high-end telephoto lenses?

Anže Slosar, a physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory, had once hoped to put a radio telescope on the far side of the moon,
but abandoned his dream years ago.
The mission just seemed too expensive, and there wasn’t enough interest in it. “
After the Apollo landings, the thinking was,
‘we’ve done it,’ and that was that,” he recalls.
Sentiments changed during the first Trump administration.
One day Slosar got an

Anticipation has built for the start of observations at the
"Vera C. Rubin Observatory"
in the mountains of the Atacama Desert in Chile.
Originally imagined in the mid-1990s as the "Dark Matter Telescope",
Rubin is designed to study our constantly moving and changing universe in greater detail than ever before.
Once every few days for a decade, Rubin will take images of the entire night sky over the Southern Hemisphere,
creating the w…

It's crazy that this image looks so 'still' but in reality, the object on the left is essentially falling faster and faster into the blue world on the right. So fast that it will be going 39,688.37 km/hr when it enters the atmosphere and we all hope and pray that the engineering was sound and everything goes well.
