Mass. pols call on NASA to back off on funding cuts to Chandra X-Ray Observatory masslive.com/politics/2024/…


🌟 Exciting News! 🌌 First light images are now live! 🛰️ Explore the intricate details of the N132D supernova remnant and the vast expanse of galaxy cluster Abell 2319. #JAXA #NASA




UMD astronomy is hiring! It's an open call, though we're particularly interested in observers this time. Feel free to message if you're interested and have questions, since I went through the process not that long ago. jobregister.aas.org/ad/2ac49c51







This is NOT “first light,” and is not from a celestial source. This is the on-orbit spectrum of the onboard Fe-55 cal source illuminating the full XRISM Resolve array, showing a resolution of ~4.4 eV. First science results to come in late 2023/early 2024!
