Welcome to the dazzling edge of darkness!🤩 The first images from #ESAEuclid are here: razor-sharp, wide & looking far into the distant Universe. A trifecta never before achieved. Explore these 5⃣ cosmic portraits that show Euclid's full potential esa.int/Science_Explor… and👇

New research sheds light on early galaxy formation 🌌 MU researchers have developed a new computer simulation of the early universe that closely aligns with observations made by the @NASAWebb. @MUTheorPhys phys.org/news/2023-10-e…

At last a chance to read this work from @DIAS_Dublin and @MaynoothUni, literally making the front page of international science, showing the beauty, power and value of fundamental research. Ireland central to a global effort. @SimonHarrisTD @DeptofFHed @scienceirel @paddyk_astro

🌌🌠🔭500 visitors came to the TSI building for Maynooth Universities Space Week 2023 event. ‘Exploring the cosmos’ was hosted by the Departments of @MUTheorPhys and @MU_Physics and featured four speakers at the cutting edge of astrophysical research. maynoothuniversity.ie/news-events/ex…

This week in Nature: A star is born - JWST reveals molecular nature of jet expelled by nascent star Browse the current issue: nature.com/nature/volumes…

🌌Join us for #SpaceWeekIrl 🚀We are exploring the cosmos with a free all-ages event covering new images from the @NASAWebb with @paddyk_astro to the search for the darkest phenomena in the universe: black holes, dark matter & dark energy. @MU_Physics rte.ie/learn/2023/092…

🆕 This new image from Webb features Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), a bipolar jet travelling through interstellar space at supersonic speeds. HH 211 is one of the youngest and nearest protostellar outflows 🧵👇

Our Cloud Builders: Python Conf is started. @paddyk_astro had great fireside chat about Python's role in unlocking the Universe's mysteries through the #Jwst You still have a chance to join us: cloud-builders.tech/en/python-conf #Python

Floating like a cosmic jellyfish is the iconic supernova SN 1987A. Webb has given us the most clear & detailed look yet, revealing a new feature — small crescent-like structures thought to be part of the outer layers of gas shot out from the explosion: go.nasa.gov/3sxgsPo

Very happy to announce that @MU_Physics have been awarded an @IOP Juno award and an Athena Swan Bronze Award.

New result published in Nature today co-authored by @MU_Physics lecturer @paddyk_astro, including this spectacular view of stellar birth. maynoothuniversity.ie/experimental-p…

🎙️ Wow! @paddyk_astro, astrophysicist and software developer from @MaynoothUni, will join us with a live fireside chat. Don’t hesitate to prepare your question! He'll delve into #Python's role in unlocking the Universe's mysteries through the #JWST 🌌 Join a cosmic journey at Cloud Builders: Python Conf: bit.ly/join_cloudbuil…

🌌🔭Webb captures detailed beauty of Ring Nebula (NIRCam and MIRI images) The new visual of the Ring Nebula shows two images side by side. On the left, the image taken by Webb’s NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera) shows the filament structure of the inner ring in detail,

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) @NASAWebb has recorded breath-taking new images of the iconic Ring Nebula (Messier 57). 🌌 The images, released today by an international team of astronomers includes Maynooth University’s Dr Patrick Kavanagh @MU_Physics @paddyk_astro

Very happy and grateful to be awarded funding under the SFI-IRC Pathway Programme! We will work to understand the evolution of cosmic dust and star formation using JWST at @DIAS_Dublin @DIASAstronomy Thanks to @scienceirel and @IrishResearch for this opportunity! #DIASDiscovers

Projects include: The impact of plastics on health @JunliXu @ucddublin Understanding the evolution of cosmic dust and star formation using the James Webb Space Telescope @paddyk_astro @DIAS_Dublin Advanced batteries for improved energy storage performance @drdavidmcnulty @UL

#Webb has captured new images of #Jupiter! The new observations feature visible auroras that extend to high altitudes above Jupiter's northern and southern poles. Explore the new images here: esawebb.org/images/

Let's just see what JWST observed yesterday... Oh, good god.

@JeanPaulMosnier @rtenews @DCUPhysics @cfar_dcu Thanks Jean-Paul!

Irish astrophysicist reaches for the stars with Webb via @RTENews ⁦@DCUPhysics⁩ ⁦@cfar_dcu⁩ Well done ⁦@paddyk_astro⁩! rte.ie/news/2022/0712…

What a wonderful way to end this crazy week. Prof. Tom Ray of @DIAS_Dublin and #MIRI co-PI presenting the first JWST images at the National Concert Hall!
