Another giant paper on giant radio galaxies 😃 by Oei+ (w/ Dr Pratik Dabhade 📡🔭🌌, myself+++)
The question is simple: where do giant radio galaxies live? Check out the paper for the answer (although you could already make an educated guess from the paper title...😃)

Radio #ImageoftheWeek 📡

If you look out at the night sky during Winter in the northern hemisphere, you can see the constellation Orion high overhead. During the Spring, Orion becomes lower in the sky.

Here you can see Orion above a Very Large Array antenna.

🔭 A study involving the #IACastrofísica has obtained direct visualization of how the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Andromeda galaxy feeds.

🌀 It reveals the existence of filaments of dust and gas spiralling in from outside the centre.

Lift-off normal 🙂

🛰️XPoSat satellite is launched successfully.

🚀PSLV-C58 vehicle placed the satellite precisely into the intended orbit of 650 km with 6-degree inclination🎯.

Happy new year all!

Professor C V Vishveshwara was well-known for his cartoons that combine science and humor. This cartoon is his humorous take on the state of Gravitational-wave astronomy over 30 years ago! He was elated to hear about LIGO’s discovery of gravitational waves in 2016.

Join us in celebrating the life and work of C V Vishveshwara. This year’s Vishveshwara lecture will be delivered by B. S. Sathyaprakash Penn State Cardiff University, an expert on Gravitational waves.
