Here's the XRISM press release in English! Early science results from the X-ray telescope have measured the hot hot HOT temperatures inside a supernovae remnant, and measured bits of the spicy torus of plasma badness that surrounds supermassive black holes 🔭🛰️.

Magnificent! 🔭🧪📸 Auroras from the recent extreme geomagnetic storms captured from orbit by NOAA's Joint Polar Satellite System satellites (NOAA-20 NOAA-21 S-NPP VIIRS instrument). This is our home planet, the Earth's magnetic field protecting us, and causing excitation in our atmosphere!
my heart 🥺
Decades ago, Patrick Moriarty told his New York science classes that they would watch the 2024 solar eclipse together. He fulfilled that promise on Monday.

#CentresOfExcellence#CE26 won’t open until “approx” July, with a 7-week application window. Previous rounds & verbal advice to ROs led people to believe EOIs would open in April or May, but that won't happen.
This article is full of fab Peter quotes on declining a Knighthood, not contributing to REF, being unimpressed by the sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” and the “lunatic right” of the Tory party ….. definitely worth a read 🧪🔭⚛️ He was a real legend and will be missed 😔 www.theguardian.com/science/2013...
A very cool result from #JWST: a supernova went off 10 billion years ago in a galaxy that is now 16 billion light-years away from us. Via gravitational lensing, the supernova appears as 3 different images (!); image A arrived first, followed by C (70 days later), then image B (50 days after that). 🧪
Hi BlueSky friends! 🧪 We’ve started to migrate our QueersInScience account away from the bad place, and build our community here. 🏳️🌈 Would love a follow and signal boost to get things going! And March 31 is #TDoV so we’re wanting to hear from the Trans science community to share your stories. 🏳️⚧️
Star-eating secrets revealed! Monash astrophysicists Fan Liu and Amanda Karakas uncover seven stars that have recently devoured rocky planets, challenging our understanding of stable solar systems. nature.com/articles/s41...
