Scientists realized exactly 200 years ago that Earth’s atmosphere insulates the planet from the freezing cold of space, launching the field of climate science. This year, physicists finally traced the so-called greenhouse effect to its quantum origin. quantamagazine.org/physicists-pin…

Really pleased to present this new result, published today in Nature. Observing the gravitationally lensed galaxy 9io9 with @almaobs we have detected (and mapped) the most distant galactic magnetic field. 👇

The echoes of light from jets launched from black holes offers a new way to pin down the distance to these exotic objects and study a largely unobserved population in the Galaxy's centre. It could also even help determine the rate of expansion of the Universe.

Researchers have observed the X-ray emission of the most luminous quasar seen in the last 9 billion years of cosmic history, known as SMSS J114447.77-430859.3, or J1144 for short. The new perspective sheds light on the inner workings of quasars & the black holes powering them.

Today we share again our statement on harassment from July 2021, and we reiterate our call within it for the more senior members of our community, namely tenured faculty, to stand with us and stop giving voices to known harassers. astrobites.org/2021/07/21/sta…
