Fantastic thread! Reber lived in Tasmania in the later part of his life, and passed away here. There’s even a museum dedicated to him down there! He was of such importance and pivotal to #RadioAstronomy that his ashes were sent to radio telescopes all around the world! 📡

It’s SKA Pulsar Day!! It’s been more than a decade since the previous science case for the SKA was published. So a bunch of us pulsar astronomers put together an update! 🔭☄️ arxiv.org/abs/2512.16152

#BlackHoles are notorious for gobbling up everything that comes their way, but new ALMA research shows that supermassive black holes can be picky eaters. Even with plenty of "food" nearby, many black holes are only nibbling - or seemingly refusing to eat. #Astronomy #RadioAstronomy #ALMA

New paper! Today it's warm CO emission from a nearby debris disk hosting A star led by @chardswiss.bsky.social: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2025arXi... Just a gorgeous forest of CO lines between 4.46-5.06 micron!

I got to meet Lisa Kaltenegger, director of the Carl Sagan Institute and the author of ALIEN EARTHS: The Science for Planet-Hunting in the Cosmos! 🪐🔭 #exoplanets #space #astronomy

Remember those red spots next to two white dwarf stars that looked like possible planets in JWST images that we found? We just had a paper accepted that continues to tell the story.

NSF VLA and ALMA Reveal Time-Stamps of Star Birth in Dazzling Cosmic Jet New observations from ALMA, building on decades of VLA groundwork, have uncovered molecular rings in a stellar jet that act as time-stamped records of its past eruptions. #Astronomy #RadioAstronomy #ALMA #VLA

NEW: ALMA Helps Unmask Monster Black Hole Behind Record-Breaking Cosmic Burst Astronomers used ALMA, NASA’s Chandra X-ray, and other telescopes to study AT 2024wpp, the most luminous fast blue optical transient (LFBOT) ever observed. #Astronomy #RadioAstronomy #ALMA

SPIDERS is installed on the Subaru Naysmith platform and we got first fringes on from the upstream AO system. Next step, a real star! Huge thanks to Subaru, NAOJ, and the SCExAO teams for accommodating us. #exoplanets #instrumentation

A great talk by final-year PhD candidate Morgan Saidel about atmospheric escape from hot Jupiters around F stars, and what we can learn from a large survey of these planets. #astronomy #exoplanets www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jh6...

NASA lost contact with the MAVEN spacecraft orbiting Mars on Saturday. They're working the problem in an attempt to reestablish contact with MAVEN. There's no reason right now to suspect the spacecraft has been lost. It's just not phoning home when it should be. science.nasa.gov/blogs/maven/...

NEW: First Radio Detection of Rare Supernova Type, Revealing Secrets of Stellar Death Brand new discovery from the Very Large Array! 💥 Astronomers have captured the first-ever radio signals from a rare class of stellar explosion known as a Type Ibn supernova. #Astronomy #RadioAstronomy #Supernova

I’d bet we solve the origin of the Wow! Signal long before we find aliens. 😄

This is a fantastic review. We are entering an era of discovering rare cosmic phenomena. 😀

Very happy to announce that our review of radio transients has now been published by PASA! bit.ly/3Yg3hyD Unlike most radio sources, transients change rapidly. My favourite bit are these lightcurve cartoons that show how different types of transients change with time. #RadioAstronomy 🔭 ☄️🧪

I found this disk in one of my old floppy disk boxes. I can’t read it, I don’t remember it, and it makes me wonder how many others like it are still out there. 🤔 #UFOs

#RadioAstronomy of stars is a rapidly growing area of research as we discover more of them :)

Happy 14 orbits to the NASA #Exoplanet Archive! Launched on December 5, 2011, the archive has become THE destination for published exoplanet parameters. I've been using it since its inception, and now I'm lucky enough to get to help maintain it and make it better for all astronomers!

New paper led by Fabian Polnitzcky & with @sratzenboeck.bsky.social + @joaoalves.bsky.social: based on the ages of stars with infrared excess in Sco-Cen, it seems planet-forming disks last around twice as long as previous estimates suggest - giving twice as long for planets to form. 🔭☄️ #exoplanets

New discovery sets humanity up to image “alien Earth” Yes, astronomers are preparing to directly image Earth-sized worlds around Sun-like stars for the first time. Here's how the biggest "missing piece" for getting there just fell into place. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #astro #exoplanets
