The EHT has revealed the strong magnetic fields of the M87* black hole in a new light! An analysis of light in circular polarization supports earlier findings that the magnetic field near M87* is strong enough to occasionally stop the black hole from swallowing up nearby matter.

After a long summer break, we are finally back: we will be back on September 19th at the Siboire St-Laurent with our first French/English bilingual event! FB event: fb.me/e/2Mwm7sjSI #AstroOnTap #AoTMTL @iExoplanets @TSIMcGill

255 hours on the Whirlpool Galaxy collab with 15 other astrophotographers. The longest integration ever done on this target. We have a full in-depth write-up available here: galactic-hunter.com/post/m51-the-w… so be sure to check it out!

Can you hear me now? 📡 Last night, I reestablished full communications with Earth thanks to some quick thinking and a lot of collaboration. I'm operating normally and remain on my expected trajectory. So glad I can finally phone home. -V2 More: go.nasa.gov/3Y9qP7D

Call for applications! The @theWOCproject would like to announce our 2023 Graduate School 101 Workshop, which will be held at Harvard University this fall. Applications are due August 20

So. You’re an academic. A doctor. An activist. A professional of some sort. Someone emails you and asks you for an interview. Ooh! Exciting! Someone cares about your work! GOOGLE THEM. Don’t entertain fascists, please. Don’t legitimize them.

We're proud to present our speakers for tomorrow's event! 📶Alice Curtin, PhD candidate @TSIMcGill, will talk about strange radio pulses in the night sky ☢️Stefan Pelletier, PhD candidate @iExoplanets, will tell us about stardust and the origin of elements #AstroOnTap #AoTMTL

Space potato? 🥔 Thanks to observations from Hubble and the Keck Observatory, astronomers were able to generate a 3D model of the galaxy M87. By tracking the motion of stars around the galaxy’s center, they determined that the galaxy is potato-shaped: go.nasa.gov/3MFV16L

just so we're clear

@StellariumDev : I'm looking for some help in developing an integration between a @djangoproject app and StellariumWeb and looking for some help.. is there anyone I can contact or a place to reach out? @krypnos

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Applications are now open for the 2023 Dunlap Institute Summer School. Taught by internationally-renowned astronomers, the school gives a unique introduction to cutting-edge astronomical instrumentation. Learn more and apply here: dunlap.utoronto.ca/summer-school

Red borders! 🟥

A bit of professional news, I've recently accepted a #scicomm position at @iExoplanets ! 🎉 Super excited to be joining the incredible EPO team here in Montreal! 🙌🏼 EN: exoplanetes.umontreal.ca/en/heidi-white… FR: exoplanetes.umontreal.ca/heidi-white-no…
