Scrub a dub 🫧 ...except no scrubbing the delicate observatory optics! We don't use cloths or lens cleaner to clean the giant camera lenses. Instead, our summit staff use a high-speed stream of carbon dioxide "snow" to push debris off of the glass surface.

Very much enjoyed visiting U.Portsmouth last week for a seminar on ChatGPT in degrees (iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…) and a second seminar on the Hubble tension in cosmology. Off to Lancaster today for another invited science talk. Fingers crossed for no swans on the lines today!

On this day, ten years ago... ...we formally kicked off construction of NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory with a ceremonial First Stone event! Thanks to over a decade of hard work by thousands of people, Rubin is just months away from unveiling first images to the world!

Random request. I'm looking for example images of LARGE-scale "departmental artwork" that might adorn the walls of your department. e.g., massive printouts of galaxies on the walls of physics / astro depts; fish / species / cells prints outs in bio depts; anything more than 2D?

Congratulations to our student, Dr. Sophie Eden, who successfully defended her thesis today; "A search for HI absorption at intermediate redshifts in star-forming galaxies with ASKAP-FLASH".

Having been on the UK:LSST board since I returned to the UK, these images are simply amazing. I keep staring at them and finding new exciting galaxies & shapes, thinking about how the next gen of scientists will use and exploit them to advance our understanding of the Universe.

The first images from the Vera Rubin Observatory are simply amazing. The sheer discoveries that lie ahead of scientists in the years ahead are, without exaggeration, incredible. Asteroids, variable sources, v low brightness relics, cosmology, and more noirlab.edu/public/news/no…

I recently published a double blind refereed data sci article about Vasectomy and post-vasectomy pain syndrome. The Conversation reached out to write a news article about it, now published here: theconversation.com/vasectomy-pain…

Claim: gpt-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics. Proof: I took a convex optimization paper with a clean open problem in it and asked gpt-5-pro to work on it. It proved a better bound than what is in the paper, and I checked the proof it's correct. Details below.
