Here's a timelapse of images over 2.5 hr from May from @keckobservatory of the supermassive black hole Sgr A*. The black hole is always variable, but this was the brightest we've seen in the infrared so far. It was probably even brighter before we started observing that night!


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

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!

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…

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

Whoa, Jupiter with JWST.

Scripts available now for JWST data. Downloading... outerspace.stsci.edu/display/MASTDA…

It becomes science when we see the FITS files! It looks like the scripts to download the raw data for all the early JWST data is available starting tomorrow, Jul 13! outerspace.stsci.edu/display/MASTDA…


The angular resolution is spectacular. I can't wait to see what the astrometric quality is. Here is a zoom in of Stephan's Quintet at full resolution. Also linked here (warning very large file): stsci-opo.org/STScI-01G7DB1F…

Congratulations @UCLA Physics and Astronomy Class of 2022! It's amazing to share this experience with everyone in person!

Research Software Engineers (RSE) are critical for many modern research projects. It can be a good career path for those who are interested in software but want to be connected to research. Universities should support more of these positions! nature.com/articles/d4158…


Both Keck Telescopes are observing the Galactic center tonight! @keckobservatory
