Physics Photo Of the Day: Prof. Satyendra Nath Bose playing a esraj. Particle "Boson" is named after him. He's best known for his works on QM in the early 1920s, collaboration with Einstein in developing the foundation for Bose–Einstein statistics and Bose–Einstein condensate.

Check out our new paper on the arXiv today: arxiv.org/abs/2108.09312. We report the discovery of three ultra-faint dwarf galaxies around NGC253. They are among the faintest systems discovered beyond the Local Group 🤩 (1/4)

Our colleague, UC Santa Cruz emeritus astrophysics professor Bill Matthews died over the weekend, from cancer. He was at Santa Cruz 52 years. Gosh, he was just the nicest guy you'd ever meet. He would be genuinely **overjoyed**, not merely happy, to see you in the hallway.
