Euclid, the explorer of dark matter, will make a 3D-map of the cosmos by observing billions of galaxies out to 10 billion light-years, across more than a third of the sky. 5 images will be released tomorrow in a ceremony that will include discussions by mission scientists at ESA’s Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany. https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=hHWbe82zM8 o https://www. esa.int/Science_Exploration/Sp ace_Science/Euclid/Media_Invitation_Euclid_mission_to_release_first_full-colour_images_of_the_cosmos_on_7_November # ESAEuclid # Euclid 1/n

steve's status on Saturday, 04-Nov-2023 21:30:22 UTCSo what is "Reality in the Shadows"? It's the story of the cosmos as we understand it now. It's a glimpse at how ideas, technology, and observations merge to make a consistent, useful, and reproducible understanding of reality. It's also honest about the limits of knowledge and what we know we DON'T know right now. But if anything, it's a story of how humans have, time and again, triumphed in shining a little more light in the cosmos. <a href="https://www/" title="https://www/" rel="nofollow external noreferrer" class="attachment" id="attachment-140156">https://www</a>. amazon.com/Reality-Shadows-Wha t-Hecks-Higgs/dp/1936411393 # FediBookFair <a href="https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/bc87734742c8d19f0bc622cf0c57821130a33df8927b1dae61bac538482d4c3e/view" title="https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/bc87734742c8d19f0bc622cf0c57821130a33df8927b1dae61bac538482d4c3e/view" rel="nofollow external noreferrer" class="attachment" id="attachment-157271">https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/bc87734742c8d19f0bc622cf0c57821130a33df8927b1dae61bac538482d4c3e/view</a>2023-11-04T21:30:22+00:00Stephen Sekulasteve: My part in the story of "Heck" took more than a year.

Join @ SNOLAB ’s Blaire Flynn and # DESY Laboratory’s Joseph Piergrossi for the new podcast, “Particle Mysteries: The Coldest Case”. <a href="https://www/" title="https://www/" rel="nofollow external noreferrer" class="attachment" id="attachment-140156">https://www</a>. interactions.org///dark-matter -day/podcast Besides the accelerated expansion of the universe and the universe’s actual birth, # DarkMatter is one of the oldest mysteries in the cosmos that humans have yet to solve. Take up the case with Blaire, Joseph, and their guests! # podcast # DarkMatterDay <a href="https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/bda38905381587aba5301bcf2dcc690c4dd0452b035f73c9a21a582e40f82515/view" title="https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/bda38905381587aba5301bcf2dcc690c4dd0452b035f73c9a21a582e40f82515/view" rel="nofollow external noreferrer" class="attachment" id="attachment-156954">https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/bda38905381587aba5301bcf2dcc690c4dd0452b035f73c9a21a582e40f82515/view</a>2023-11-01T00:25:16+00:00Stephen Sekulasteve: Let’s end # DarkMatterDay with a video of a single bubble nucleating in a # PICO40L dark matter bubble chamber. This is precisely the kind of behaviour that would result from # DarkMatter interacting with a detector like this. You expect a single, low-energy interaction nucleating a lone, isolated bubble. This is why it’s so critical to construct these with low radioisotope contamination, put the experiment deep underground, and still shield the hell out of it. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/59ff680a667243a031d4b8b6de70fbceeba5b17a55c503e2880c84a2bd412799/view

That's right, dark matter! ....oh, and Halloween spirits too. Happy # DarkMatterDay and a spooky # Halloween , a day to celebrate the stuff we can't see 🌌🎃 At ~85% of the total matter in our Universe, dark matter a big mystery for scientists to solve.

I will share some fare today relevant to this day. Enjoy the mystery of the unidentified matter that has shaped the # cosmos . Maybe you will even want to become engaged in solving the # mystery . There are no easy answers on the constituents of dark matter. Easy stuff was done long ago. :-) https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/11abb096c3e02dbe038a450f3c9fa9d994ba911c83c0a8f685b275a4bd5d3f17/view
