Yesterday was the longest single-day doubling time yet: 3.9 days. We appear to be past the most dramatic part of the testing ramp-up, which artificially suppresses these measurements. So we have resumed updating our model: danreichart.com/covid19-reports

No solid visual counterpart for this one (which is also pretty far away). But Skynet is ready should one occur closer! cnn.com/2019/08/20/wor…


This summer, consider taking: Astronomy 102: Stars, Galaxies, and Cosmology for college credit through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Friday Center for Continuing Education. Enrollment is now open: fridaycenter.unc.edu/course/astr-10… Cheers! DR

The Orion Complex. This optical — radio combination was achieved by tiling 15 130-minute exposures in H-alpha (from Steven and Tim Christensen), to which we added four 170-minute 1.4-GHz maps that we made with Skynet’s 20-meter at Green Bank Observatory.


@SkynetRTN is gearing up to hunt these again. Last run, our PROMPT-5 telescope in Chile was one of six telescopes to co-discover the first optical counterpart to a gravitational-wave event, caused by two merging neutron stars. npr.org/2019/03/19/701…

Skynet's 32-inch PROMPT telescope in the Chilean Andes scored another Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) last month. Enjoy! apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap190201.…

@SkynetRTN is on four of the NS-NS merger papers today, including one with 4,500 authors spanning 910 institutions!


@SkynetRTN is being represented by David Sand at the National Press Club NS-NS merger announcement this morning.


Excited! PROMPT was one of only a few scopes to discover the visible-light counterpart of today's announced NS-NS merger!


Here is comes...Monday at 10 AM ET ;) ligo.caltech.edu/news/ligo20171…


Just my luck -- the world's now supposed to end just one day before the new Star Trek series comes out...figures. slate.com/blogs/browbeat…


Totally trolled the MedCrave Group's "Physics and Astronomy International Journal" -- worth the read ;) facebook.com/SkynetRTN/phot…

F. Ghigo observed the eclipse in radio waves using Skynet and the 20m scope at GBO. Not fully dark b/c the moon emits radio too!

Updated radio map of Orion A & B, Barnard's Loop, and a bunch of faint radio sources, made with Skynet, using GBO's 20-meter.
