A UCLA-led team, including our very own Keckie Randy Campbell, has discovered a strange cloud accelerating toward the Milky Way's black hole. This dusty gas filament named X7 measures 3,000 AU in length & clocks in speeds of up to 490 miles/second! 👉keckobservatory.org/x7

This week, UCLA Physics and Astronomy Machine Learning Reading Group will be reading: "What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?" by Stephen Wolfram. It is an excellent overview of many ML concepts so it's helpful even for those unfamiliar with ML writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-i…

Murder She Wrote is amazing in so many ways! I can't believe I haven't seen most of it. It doesn't appear to be available online so I'm resorting to buying it on DVD. At least it's not VHS!

Congratulations UCLA Physics and Astronomy graduates of 2023!

It was wonderful to be back Dunlap Institute for the 15th Anniversary reunion! It is amazing how much folks at the institute have accomplished in 15 years!
