A catalogue of more than 380,000 #galaxies: the first comprehensive data release of the #Euclid space telescope sets standards and provides insights into the depths of the #universe - thanks in part to strong German participation !

In the next few months, from its perch atop a mountain in Chile, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will begin surveying the #cosmos with the largest camera ever built.
Every three nights, it will produce a map of the entire southern sky filled with #stars, #galaxies, #asteroids and @supernovae — and swarms of bright #satellites ruining some of the view.
Swarms of satellites are harming #astronomy.
Here’s how researchers are fighting back.

I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Alexandre Morales for France Culture, to talk about the discovery of Quipu, one of the largest known structure of the Universe. It will air tomorrow morning at 6:52.
Here is the press release by the authors of the discovery at MPI Garching https://www.mpg.de/24197951/largest-superstructure-in-the-nearby-universe

#Thought #Experiment: What-if multiple stars are the same #star in different #times?
Disregarding our familiar #paradoxes for a moment, if Time Travel is possible, then mightn't it occur in #Nature? And if-then, how could one know? What evidence should we be looking for? Something duplicated: #stars, #galaxies, #quanta, #identicaltwins, #groundhogday, #Castor & #Pollux.

Some scientific discoveries shake up my brain.
On the one hand, it almost blows my mind when I think about it further. On the other hand, it's wonderfully reassuring to realise that there are a lot more important and fascinating things in this cosmos than some evil guys on two small legs.
