Galactic Center UCLA

Tune in to watch the 2020 Nobel Lectures in Physics, tonight starting at midnight PST youtu.be/DWF1uNb9Q1Q via @YouTube

The telescopes on Maunakea are very active in black hole research. In this video, @SubaruTel_Eng, @keckobservatory, @GeminiObs were observing the center of the Milky Way with Nobel prize winner Prof. Ghez using Keck at that time. (Credit: Dan Birchall/NAOJ) #TechieTuesday

Roger Penrose won the Nobel Prize for showing that black holes are an almost-unavoidable prediction of classical general relativity. Let's take a peek into what that entailed. 1/n

@astrochic73 @GalacticCtrGrp Love it

Congratulations to Professor Andrea Ghez of @UCLA, whose work led to the discovery of a black hole at the center of our galaxy. As the 4th woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, she's an inspiration — a reminder that everyone can reach for the stars. latimes.com/science/story/…

Thank you, @keckobservatory!!!  This award #NobelPrize2020 reflects in large part the great team at Keck Observatory!!

Winner of #NobelPrize in Physics is longtime user of Hawaii’s @keckobservatory 808ne.ws/2I7WgMH

Announcement of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics youtu.be/5JFKNDVmx6k via @YouTube, with an excellent explanation of the science behind the prize.

"It amazes me every time I go to the telescope." We spoke to 2020 Physics Laureate Andrea Ghez shortly after she heard the news of her #NobelPrize. She shares her motivation for becoming an astrophysicist and describes the prize as "an opportunity and a responsibility."

Congrats to Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel & Andrea Ghez for being awarded the #NobelPrize in Physics! Their work opened vast new possibilities for studying black holes, incl a two-decade #NSFfunded project from Ghez to track a star orbiting our galaxy's supermassive black hole.

Congratulations to our own Andrea Ghez, winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics!!! ucla.in/2GxLuid

More mystery objects found near our Galaxy's supermassive black hole! Congratulations to our postdoc, Anna Ciurlo and collaborator at Keck, Randy Campbell! newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/astro…

GCG members Tuan, Kelly and Abhimat answering questions about the flashes from our Galaxy's supermassive black hole! @keckobservatory @UCLA youtube.com/watch?v=TqzCPH…

Let's see what's happening with Sgr A* tonight @keckobservatory ! cnn.com/2019/08/13/wor…

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!

"Einstein's right, at least for now"—@ucla astronomy professor Andrea Ghez. Astronomers have shown that Einstein's ideas about space & time still hold true as the best description yet of how gravity works. Via @nbcnewsmach nbcnews.to/30WkhKL

This is an amazing time lapse made by @abhimatgautam of the 24 years of imaging data that went into our S0-2 gravitational redshift measurement. youtube.com/watch?v=1rKF9h…
