Over 70% complete, our ELT is glowing in the #sunset light of the Atacama Desert in #Chile, surrounded by massive cranes hard at work to get this telescope up and running. With the first light planned for the end of the decade, the ELT and its groundbreaking 39-metre main mirror will take on some of the biggest challenges in #astronomy and, ultimately, help us understand our place in the #Universe.

Wow, they sewed the Apollo spacesuits with TREADLE SEWING MACHINES MIT Press: The Bra-and-Girdle Maker That Fashioned the Impossible for NASA "...Key to these demands were NASA’s painstaking engineering standards, which pushed the very limits of the equipment and seamstresses’ own techniques. The tolerances allowed — less than a 64th of an inch in only one direction from the seam — meant that yard after yard of fabric was sewn to an accuracy smaller than the sewing needle’s eye. To achieve such precision, many women used a modified treadle that, instead of starting and stopping a Singer sewing machine’s operation, fired one stitch per footfall through the multiple layers of a suit’s surface. ..." h/t @wtrmt@mastodon.social https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-bra-and-girdle-maker-that-fashioned-the-impossible-for-nasa/ #space #nasa #sewing

A new cosmic test has finally, with CMB and large-scale structure data, become realistic: using the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect to test dark matter vs. MOND.

Messier 3. A globular cluster containing about 500,000 stars. It doesn’t have a cool “common name” and I find that sad. That means we get to name it, right? I propose Globby McGlobface. Submissions are open until May 8th. I’ll publish the best one in my very unscientific journal. 📷 Sony a7 IV, Z61 II, 2 hours. #Astrophotography #Space #Astronomy 🔭

This isn't a scene from Star Wars. What you're looking at is the Tarantual Nebula, and those beams come from the lasers installed on the telescopes of our Very Large Telescope Interferometer in #Chile. They create artificial stars 90 km above the ground to correct atmospheric turbulence, allowing the VLTI to observe faint targets. But why are four telescopes observing the same target?

I stopped paying attention to rocketry after Elon did a Nazi salute. So, I legitimately thought Blue Origin hadn't launched any New Glenn's yet. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/blue-origin-new-glenn-rocket-satellite-wrong-orbit/ Good thing I stopped paying attention I guess!

In happier news, it's been a great week for learning strange new things about the universe. A few highlights: The Rubin Observatory opened its eyes & immediately discovered 1900 asteroids, including the fastest-spinning large asteroid (once every 1.88 minutes!). https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2601/ #science #nature #space

Prediction. A decade from now, low-Earth orbit will be inaccessible after Starlink (now bankrupt) precipitates a massive #Kessler catastrophe. Years/generations will pass before new launches to #space are possible. No #Moon missions; no #Mars missions. #Musk's name is cursed (even more...).
