The most glorious celebration of French culture, history, diversity, and excellence, with the immense joy and pride to share our heritage and to welcome the World to the City of Light. Wow, just wow.

Unbelievable, unforgettable, incredible. Creativity, originality, excellence, elegance, fashion, passion, harmony in the diversity, modernity celebrating history. Universality.

Finally watched the #OpeningCeremony I wondered why the torch went back on the Seine. And then... THEN! This unforgettable image of the cauldron! An obvious reference to the pioneers of aviation. Until I realized it went back to the exact same place, 241 years later!

Being in the wild, I've only seen small bits of the #OpeningCeremony Looks epic and grandiose, and I can't wait to watch it in full🤩 In the mean time, this opening ceremony is quite good too... #yosemite

Fed up showing always the same videos in conferences,? Make a new one! In a gas-rich clumpy galaxy (maybe like the Milky Way 10 billion years ago), the gaseous structures are very complex and turbulent. Not your grandma's interstellar medium. youtu.be/aL6NjIkm7Dg

@caccrd29 @MatBethermin Comme j'aime à le dire au début de projets : les choses sérieuses commencent, on va enfin pouvoir rigoler ! 😃 Quand à l'Islande, j'y travaille ...

@renaudflo @MatBethermin Un peu moins hate du coup 😆 sauf si je saigne perdu au milieu de l'Islande, là ca me va 🤣

Merci infiniment @MatBethermin pour ces 2 stages de Master. C'était un véritable plaisir de travailler avec toi même si tu m'a fait mal la tronche sur le vélo haha 😆 Quand à @renaudflo, merci pour l'opportunité hâte de commencer à travailler ensemble !

... for the safety of friends and colleagues I left behind... and who still feel they must talk anonymously to the press.

...so the harassment and bullying can continue. When I understood that the law and ethics would never prevail in this uni, I looked for an exit door (and got incredibly lucky to be offered my dream job). But I fear ...

Lund Uni is one of these magical places where moving people around and looking away solve harassment and violence. It hasn't worked for 16 years and 37+ complaints, but you never know! Now astronomy has been shut down and astronomers have been expelled... nature.com/articles/d4158…

There are conference dinner venues... and there is THIS conference dinner venue. #IAPnewsim23

@franco_vazza "I'll skip this, but..." and take 2 minutes for a rushed explanation that nobody follows

@KarinaVoggel Indeed, there are only a few G2 storms per year. Did you see the red with the naked eye?

@renaudflo But the luck of having a geomagnetic storm at the only perfectly clear night of the trip is too good. We told the entire guest house we stayed at and all watched together. Everyone was so happy. 15/10 experience ☺️

I can’t believe what I just saw it was insane 🥰🥰🤯🤯

#OTD exactly 8 years ago, I saw my very first #northernlights from a plane over Greenland. Many cold nights later, I think my photo techniques have slightly improved 😜

@bibianaprinoth I do, I do, I do!

@astro_aadamo Enjoy HD! (I warmed them up for you!)

@BotCaroline @MatBethermin @ObsStrasbourg Félicitations Matthieu !
