Nested morphology of gas streams confirms a mechanism that helps infant stars to grow by ingesting disk material
Very good point on MPIA which I had completely missed due to being unable to get past listening to the south park song on repeat

Canada and China are both parties to the MPIA. Could be 🔥
Give my best regards to Mordecai next time you see him, please! I haven't seen him around at MPIA for some time now.
Mitte oben: Wasserstoffatome, nachgewiesen wiederum via Radioastronomie über die sogenannte 21-cm-Linie. Teleskop: VLA (Very Large Array) - das Teleskopfeld, was Jodie Foster in dem Film "Contact" nutzt :-) Details: www2.mpia-hd.mpg.de/THINGS/Overv... 6/
Links oben ist molekularer Wasserstoff, nachgewiesen auf einem Umweg: über Spektrallinien des bisschen Kohlenstoffmonoxid, das man mit solchem molekularem Wasserstoff zusammenfindet. Teleskop: 30-m-IRAM-Radioteleskop. Details: www2.mpia-hd.mpg.de/HERACLES/Ove... 5/

This video belongs to a series highlighting the research and work being done at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA). This particular video provides an overview of the Planet and Star Formation (PSF) department. Topics are: - PSF science - Observing facilities such as JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) - Origins of life (experiments in the lab) - Future telescope projects During the time of filming (2023), Prof. Dr. Thomas Henning was the MPIA managing director and the PSF department director. After his retirement in 2024, Myriam Benisty took over the department. In addition, the then head of the origins of life lab, Jiao He, has left MPIA in 2024. Script, camera, and editing: Rowan Moorkens O'Reilly. 00:00 Intro 00:12 Overview 01:46 Infrared observations from space 02:20 James Webb Space Telescope 03:52 Origins of Life Lab 08:42 The promise of the nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope 09:11 Conclusion
