10 more spots remain! AI Boot Camp For Astronomers Register today (by May 1st)! Presented by CosmicAI and @taccutexas.bsky.social Location: Pickle Research Campus, UT Austin June 1st-5th 2026 cosmicai.org/astroai-boot... @simonsfoundation.org

From @noirlabastro.bsky.social: We are revisiting one of our most-loved Images of the Week! #5: the Anglerfish cluster! MACS J0060.1-2008 is famous for its strong gravitational lensing effect. #astronomy Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA. Processing: J. Miller, M. Rodriguez, T. Rector, M. Zamani.

It’s official, our panel "Revolutionizing Astronomy with Next Generation Big Data" has been accepted to @sxsw.com 2026! Thank you to everyone who supported our work! Panelists: Stella Offner, Paul Torrey, @stephajuneau.bsky.social, & @niall2.bsky.social Learn more schedule.sxsw.com/events/PP116...

The first annual Astro Data Lab user survey closes tomorrow, September 30. If you haven’t already, please fill it out to help shape the future of the Data Lab! 👉 User Survey: datalab.noirlab.edu/usersurvey #astronomy 🔭

Your opinion matters! We invite current and future users of Astro Data Lab to take the first User Survey. Please help us shape our future development! 👉 User Survey: datalab.noirlab.edu/usersurvey #astronomy 🔭

NEW: #NASAWebb reveals a distant spiral galaxy perfectly aligned near the tip of Herbig-Haro 49/50—an outflow generated by a nearby still-forming star. This near- and mid-infrared image uncovers intricate details about how stars form: webbtelescope.pub/4iGQg9K 🔭 🧪

🔭👀 New results from the @desisurvey.bsky.social strengthen hints that #DarkEnergy might evolve. News release ⬇️ newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/03/19/n... #Space #arXiv 🧪

🔭 We're ready with the DESI DR1 database and 23 million spectra in the SPARCL searchable spectral database. These services are best suited for public access for astronomy questions and we worked closely with the DESI data team 🤝 Data Lab: datalab.noirlab.edu SPARCL: astrosparcl.datalab.noirlab.edu

@desisurvey.bsky.social has *two* big releases 1) Exciting results with stronger hints of evolving dark energy based on three years of data 2) First year of data (DR1): spectra for >18 million objects in the main survey! At the Data Lab, we provide a database version for convenient data access 🔭✨

T - 2 hours!

Bullseye! Researchers using Hubble found a massive galaxy rippling with nine star-filled rings after an “arrow,” the blue dwarf galaxy to its center-left, plunged through its core 50 million years ago. A thin trail of gas still links the pair: bit.ly/4hcX52n 🔭 🧪

✨January 2025 updates✨ - Added 6 datasets: Palomar Gattini-IR (PGIR) DR1, S-PLUS DR4, DES Y6 Gold, PHAT v3, DeMCELS DR1, SDSS DR12 stellar mass VACs - Added 4 Jupyter notebooks to our collection available to all users and on GitHub Read more in our Newsletter! datalab.noirlab.edu/newsletters/...

📣Undergrad student Isabella Olin is presenting her #aas245 iPoster 465.04 soon (1-2pm) on SDSS/BOSS Large Scale Structure and the "Cosmic Slime" Value-Added Catalog, where she investigates the impact of environment on galaxy quenching She contributed a new Jupyter notebook on her work (link below)

This week NSF-Simons AI Institute for Cosmic Origins is at the @aasoffice.bsky.social Meeting in Washington D.C. Please stop by our table for more info and swag! Follow us for updates on our latest research, professional events, and opportunities to collaborate with leaders in astronomy and AI.

PSA: if you're going to #AAS245 in Washington DC. There is a sample of #asteroid #Bennu on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History! Also a Mars meteorite you can *touch*! #ToBennuAndBack 🧪🔭

Hi everyone, we're excited to attend #AAS245 🔭 Come see live demos of Data Lab, SPARCL, Gemini data reduction & grab Data Lab postcards at the NOIRLab booth # 105D (NSF pavilion). Demo schedule posted below and in our January Newsletter: datalab.noirlab.edu/newsletters/...

Making my slides for the "25 Years of Science with Chandra" conference, and here's the supernova remnants imaged with Chandra in the first two years of the mission in the order they were observed! 🔭🧪 #SaveChandra

Big paper day today! 🔭🧪 The newest results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument or DESI newscenter.lbl.gov/2024/11/19/n... 8 new papers on the arXiv this morning, including the long awaited analysis of the "full shape" of the galaxy power spectrum, and one led by my PhD student.
