Dear colleagues and Friends, sorry to inform you about my decision to finally leave this site. Please see me as HasiProf over at the other side.
Mein früherer Kollege vom Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik hält einen Vortrag über Fusionsenergie bei den "Highlights der Physik" in Kiel - vor vollem Haus!
My heartfelt congratulations, Frank! – at Görlitz, Germany
Congratulations to Frank Eisenhauer from @MPE_Garching who is awarded the 2023 Instrument Development Award for his outstanding contributions to the development of innovative complex infrared instruments for ground-based telescopes #ag2023berlin
Really cool stuff from my former institute! Congratulations, Brent. And what a wonderful reference to the Kumulipo. – at Görlitz, Germany
Astronomers may have spotted the first single Baryon Acoustic Oscillation -- a sonic bubble created shortly after the Big Bang, now frozen into the structure of the universe.
Astonishing work by @DanielPomarede, Brent Tully, and team. hawaii.edu/news/2023/09/05/b…
Hi Thomas, nice to hear from you. So far the finding both of early galaxies and early black holes is fully in line with the primordial black hole expectations we predicted before the JWST launch. However, quantitative comparisons are still neccessary. – at Schönefeld, Deutschland
There is some of it, but not enough ;-)

I know, and I wrote and co-authored a few of them myself. I am, however, referring to popular literature, where they are often basically ignored. Like e.g. @NautilusMag, @PaulMattSutter claim to write about the current state of dark matter research, ignoring PBH.
I wonder, why so many people completely ignore the possibility that Dark Matter is made of primordial black holes. Even if you do not believe in it, you should st least discuss it and say so! – at Vetschau/Spreewald, Deutschland
We still don’t understand the nature of dark matter nearly a century after its discovery. For @NautilusMag, @PaulMattSutter writes about the current state of dark matter research — what we know, and what we don’t.

Congratulations to the @ESA_Euclid teams for a picture-book launch! Good luck for the commissioning! – at Görlitz, Germany
What a relief to see the Euclid mission on this rocket today! Good luck. Go Euclid go! – at Görlitz, Germany
Keeping fingers crosswd for success tomorrow! Best of luck for @ESA_Euclid – at Görlitz, Germany
A privilege to be here in Orlando with so many of the people who painstakingly designed & constructed the mission to deliver on its ambitious scientific goals- it’s been a long road but with any luck @ESA_Euclid will soon be well on its way !
Absolutely fascinating result on gravitational wave background from merging supermassive black holes. Congratulations to the international teams of scientists. This is one of the top research areas, which the new @astrozentrum will embark on!

Wonderful! Congratulations to the excellent ESA OPS team, and good luck for the next steps in the mission!
... by the way: the perspective is a bit skewed. The actual size should be somewhere between a golf and a tennis ball. Viewed from several astronomical units, even of the vantage point of one of the gas or ice giant planets, would subtend an invisible angle! – at Hanover, Germany

... then we might one day detect it through gravitational lensing of a background star. Then we could localize it and some time way in the future fly there and look at it - maybe even extract energy from it? – at Görlitz, Germany

I am missing XMM-Newton! – at North West, England
#JUICE was Ariane 5's last science mission launch. In its honor, we wanted to pay tribute to these legendary missions over the years. Can you find the names of all the passengers in this photo?
