NOIR Lab - DESI Tests Gravity at Cosmic Scales
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Gravity has shaped our cosmos. Its attractive influence turned tiny variations in the amount of matter present in the early Universe into the sprawling strands of galaxies we see today. A new study using the first year of data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has traced how this cosmic structure grew over the past 11 billion years, providing the most precise test to date of how gravity behaves at very large scales. In this podcast, Dr. Pauline Zarrout discusses these results and the future of DESI research. Bios: Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and...

Last Minute Astronomer - December Episode
The 365 Days of Astronomy
I’m Rob Webb, your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies and nerds, with little time to spare. Joining me today is my son, Soccorso. 13th – 14th – Geminid Meteor Shower – The Geminids are usually a good shower, with up to 100 meteors per hour. That means that, even though this is not a great year for them (Full Moon will brighten the sky and reduce how many meteors we’ll see), hanging outside for 20-30 minutes should still bring you some good sights. When? Really, any time of the night is good. After midnight is always best… Where do I look? The...

info_outlineFrom October 25, 2023.
Around our parent collaboration, CosmoQuest, Halloween is, hands-down, the most beloved season of the year. Costumes are worn. Yards are decorated. We are here for all the strangers that knock on our door - the weirdos, the witches, and the oh-so-very-many werewolves - and there will be as much candy as we can afford given out. We know we are not the only ones.
With about a week to go, we know that any day now, NASA, ESA, ESO, and others will begin releasing their spooky season images. There will be nebulae cropped with the contrast adjusted just so to reveal witches' hats, and others rotated to reveal ghosts and maybe - I can hope - a goblin or two.
