#Hubble has spotted the farthest star ever seen! A lucky alignment and natural magnification made it possible for the telescope to see the star’s light, which took 12.9 billion years to reach Earth: fal.cn/3nnSu

Breaking News 📣 #Hubble breaks new record detecting the most distant individual star ever seen. Nicknamed Earendel by the authors, this star existed within the first billion years after the Universe’s birth in the Big Bang 🎆 Full story: 🔗 esahubble.org/news/heic2203/ Thread 👇

I was reading the referee report on nature's recent "most distant star discovered with Hubble" and my eyes popped at Reviewer #2. The person is plain unprofessional. Here's how *not* to review a paper:

The IOP is very concerned at the continued use of outdated stereotypes as we firmly believe #physics is for everyone regardless of their background or gender.

10 years ago, a teacher at my sixth form suggested I do a Chemistry degree instead of Physics as it was the more “Feminine” science… it seems society hasn’t changed🙄

We finally have the first look at our Milky Way black hole, Sagittarius A*. It’s the dawn of a new era of black hole physics. Credit: EHT Collaboration. #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole Link: eventhorizontelescope.org/blog/astronome…

It’s hard to overstate what impact #JWST is going to have on science, astronomy & our understanding of the universe. Incredible images. Huge congratulations to the international team that has made this possible.

Some supernovae are blue. Others are red. Be careful how you use them for cosmology! Another awesome piece of work by Lisa Kelsey arxiv.org/abs/2208.01357

Don’t forget to submit your abstract for our session on explosive and high energy transients! nam2023.org/science/parall…

Our new project is now live on the Zooniverse! Many thanks to @t_killestein and the rest of the GOTO Observatory Citizen Science dev team for helping to make this happen! 🌟 Please give it a go and help us to find lots of exciting transients!

We did it! Today we released the Dark Energy Survey Dark Energy Survey supernova cosmology results!!! A massive effort from many people. This has been the prime focus of my research for the last decade, and it was an honour to co-lead this working group. What did we find?.... a 🧵

Pan across the sharpest view yet of a lenticular galaxy 60 million light-years from Earth 👀 these galaxies have an elliptical shape and ill-defined spiral arms.

I’m thrilled to share that I have been awarded a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, to work on “The Local Environments of Supernova Siblings”, starting in September! 🌟Thank you to everyone who has supported me! 🌌
