… and this Thursday 18:00 UTC I will be giving a public lecture on how to image a black hole at Oxford university. Come by if you happen to be around.(Presented to you by the BlackHolistic conference where we discuss a holistic view of black holes on all scales.)https://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/events/how-image-black-hole

These are the things I love in #astronomy: you look at a dwarf planet in our solar system that’s smaller than Pluto and it passes right in front of a star, so you can see how the starlight is blocked as it moves across the star. And the unexpected happens: the light disappears more slowly than you would’ve thought, which could indicate that this little rock has some form of an atmosphere.„A tiny world beyond Neptune has an atmosphere that shouldn't exist“: https://phys.org/news/2026-05-tiny-world-neptune-atmosphere-shouldnt.html#google_vignette#Astrodon

@AliceStollmeyer That’s cool, but when I click to follow on my mobile, I am passed on to their account on their server to follow, but then I need to log in to my account, which is in a different server and that is not possible (or well hidden).
