Interesting writeup of radio observations of SPT-CL J2106-5844, one of the rarest most-distant galaxy clusters in the SPT catalog. The Most Distant 'Mini-Halo' Ever Observed May Enhance Our Comprehension of the Early Universe by @vocal_creators vocal.media/earth/the-most… U.S. National Science Foundation

SPT/SPT-3G collaboration meeting taking place this week at The University of Chicago! Great to see everyone and having great discussions about all the ongoing science analyses of SPT data! U.S. National Science Foundation DOE Office of Science #Antarctica


On this Independence Day, we celebrate the freedom to innovate, discover, and lead. U.S. Department of Energy’s National Labs are powering America’s future—through science, security, and a competitive edge. #DOENationalLabs





The SPT winterovers recently hosted an open house and tour of the telescope. Since SPT is 1-km from station, many winterovers don't make it out often, so it's nice to have open houses to help learn about the science they are supporting!

Nice writeup describing the implications on dark energy models, from the latest SPT results! #Antarctica #southpole U.S. National Science Foundation



IceCube (IceCube Neutrino Observatory) finds no neutrinos above 10 PeV in 12.6 yrs of data • In 2.9σ tension with the ~200 PeV KM3NeT neutrino event • Disfavors the proton-only hypothesis for ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays PRL: go.aps.org/40mhziS PhysMag: go.aps.org/4lOm6mg

NASA Watch European Space Agency NASA mj The US has more people spending time in the exact same environment year round. There is an excellent opportunity for NASA to be doing more.
