Amazing as the aurora this weekend were, an active Sun has a cost to astronomy. Here is the Hubble Space Telescope's lifetime altitude (thanks Jonathan McDowell) with marks for boosts from Space Shuttle servicing missions. In orange are sunspots, a proxy for the Sun's activity. (1/6)
i’m excited to announce that i am hiring! i am looking for a postdoc in computational astrophysics that’s excited about massive stars, stellar transients, and multi-messenger astronomy to join my group at Steward Observatory, University of Arizona.
