First time abroad in almost a decade! Looking forward to the Euclid conference in Oslo over the next few days.

Here's a 1-minute video showing--in the words of visualization hero Edward Tufte--the "compared to what" factor for today's amazing NASA Webb Telescope image. Thanks to the AAS WorldWide Telescope for making this possible, and A David Weigel. I only wish NASA and President Donald J. Trump had shown the image this way!

Euclid is almost on the launchpad, the excitement is ramping up! Very proud of what we have accomplished so far, and looking forward to the coming months 😀 theguardian.com/science/2023/j…

Targeting Saturday, July 1 for Falcon 9’s launch of the @ESA Euclid mission to a Sun-Earth L2 transfer orbit from SLC-40 in Florida → spacex.com/launches

📍The #DarkUniverse 🕵️‍♂️ detective is on the launch pad, atop the standing rocket. 🚀 Lift off planned at 16:12 BST/17:12 CEST 👀 Follow #ESAEuclid live on #ESAWebTV starting 15:30 BST/16:30 CEST 👉 youtube.com/live/2OJ6lCFS2… 📷 ESA - S. Corvaja

#ICYMI: Rewatch the launch of #ESAEuclid! Our Euclid misison lifted off, at 16:12 BST/17:12 CEST on 1 July 2023. Euclid has now started its month-long journey to Lagrange point L2, where it will observe one third of the Universe. 👉 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…

🥁 They're here... the first test images from the #DarkUniverse 🕵️ detective give us a tantalising glimpse of what is yet to come from a fully calibrated mission later this autumn 🤩 Explore the #ESAEuclid images here 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor… and below 👇

Welcome to the dazzling edge of darkness!🤩 The first images from #ESAEuclid are here: razor-sharp, wide & looking far into the distant Universe. A trifecta never before achieved. Explore these 5⃣ cosmic portraits that show Euclid's full potential esa.int/Science_Explor… and👇

I am pleased to announce that the abstract submission for our Workshop "Simulation Based Inference for Galaxy Evolution" is now open! sbi-galev.github.io/2024/ Workshop will take place in Bristol (UK), 9-12 April. Chris Lovell Sotiria Fotopoulou

🚨 #ESAEuclid begins its Dark Universe survey! 🔎 The #DarkUniverse 🕵️ detective is now ready for the gigantic task of understanding the nature of #DarkMatter & #DarkEnergy 🐾 Today, it has started the survey that will gather evidence from billions of galaxies across 10

Euclid celebrates first science with sparkling cosmic views! 🤩 From faint to bright, from distant to nearby, from the most massive of galaxy clusters to small planets, these images demonstrate ESA's Euclid mission 's ability to unravel the secrets of the cosmos. Access them here👉

I had a lot of fun writing this review on unsupervised learning! Out today on astro-ph arxiv.org/abs/2406.17316 and A&C sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We need your help! 🆘 In its mission to map out the #DarkUniverse, #ESAEuclid will image hundreds of thousands of distant galaxies 💫 For the next six years, the spacecraft is expected to send around 100 GB of data back to Earth every day! 🤯 That’s a lot of data, and we need

Thanks to a new galaxyzoo citizen science project launched today, you can help identify the shapes of thousands of galaxies in images taken by the ESA's Euclid mission space telescope👇 esa.int/Science_Explor…

Claude 4 just refactored my entire codebase in one call. 25 tool invocations. 3,000+ new lines. 12 brand new files. It modularized everything. Broke up monoliths. Cleaned up spaghetti. None of it worked. But boy was it beautiful.
