@ThomasWijnen Did you bring a telescope to 'Mars'? Looks like a good place for some stargazing.

Coming back from South Africa the first thing that struck me in the Netherlands is the number of electric cars on the road. Perhaps an 'Amsterdam' bias but I would think 25-30% is now electric. I wonder if it can be noticed already in the air quality data?

@paulgroot @LucStultiens @RHDijkgraaf @paulgroot is een van de meest inspirerende sterrenkundigen in Nederland (zeg ik als net afgestudeerde sterrenkunde PhD student van Harvard) -- dus zeker doen @LucStultiens! De NLe koppositie in de sterrenkunde is zeker super uniek zoals @RHDijkgraaf zei!
Nederlands
@LucStultiens @RHDijkgraaf Bij deze uitgenodigd om de telescopen ook een keer in het echt te komen bekijken @LucStultiens ! Misschien samen met alle wetenschap-woordvoerders in de Tweede Kamer?

Een eer om te horen dat onze @BlackGEM_Array telescoop wordt getoond en genoemd in de Tweede Kamer door minister Dijkgraaf, naast de @ESO telescopen met heel sterke deelname van @AstronomieNL NOVA

Kamerlid @LucStultiens vroeg tijdens de begrotingsbehandeling naar de telescoop die ik in Chili mocht openen deze maand. Door in Europees verband samen te werken lopen we als Nederland voorop in de sterrenkunde. Belangrijk voor de wetenschap en voor onze maatschappij.

@ERC_Research @UofGlasgow There is no lack of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, even if it isn't always where we want it when. Can we please stop polluting the skies with more reflecting satellites? A view of the stars is also part of humanity, and our cultural heritage
English
Prof Colin McInnes at @UofGlasgow and his colleagues are on the go to devise satellite reflectors that help solar farms generate electricity, even when direct sunlight is not available💡🪐
