Light from the bright disk around a black hole 10 billion light years away tells @grieratron's gang @uwastro that wind from the quasar is pushing gas out into its galaxy — giving the black hole a say in the creation of stars. news.wisc.edu/wind-from-blac…

AstroTwitter: I’m working on my Intro to Astro class playlist (songs I play as the students come in each day) and need songs related to each lecture topic. So far I’m a bit short on Light, Spectra, and telescopes. Any ideas? (Popular/known songs preferred but I’ll take others)

@astro_zhou That one is definitely on my list! 😀 I have a whole suite of Muse songs (Supermassive Black Hole, Starlight, Neutron Star Collision) — they are great

A few of our BHM team members are representing at the “Multi-wavelength AGN Structure and Cosmological Applications” conference in Nice! We’re learning about all things AGN and enjoying copious amounts of French pastries. Here we are at Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur!

@marianojavierd1 It will be difficult to see if you are in the city, so you will want to basically just get as far away from city lights as you can. Sorry, I don’t have any more specific recommendations in that area!

Taylor Lautner is the only one doing celebrity right. Take the money from your giant franchise and enjoy your quiet and unproblematic life. Marry a nice person with the same name as you. Practice your backflips in obscurity until Taylor Swift asks to see you.
