Superbe visite de NOEMA, l'observatoire de l'IRAM sur le plateau de Bure. Avec un super guide, un certain Jérémie Boissier 😉

Junais et al. obtained a nice new image of the giant Low Surface Brightness #galaxy Malin-2

Oh my gods THIS GUY IS INSUFFERABLE

THE LOEB SCALE?!!! https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.09167

Who thinks this?? "You know, I'm just not getting enough attention as a tenured professor at Harvard who yells about aliens after every cool scientific discovery, I need to name a scale after myself"

THIS ESSAY IS SO GOOD. I don't know that I've ever read an essay so thoroughly saturated with sarcasm and yet devastatingly accurately shredding someone's stupid ideas. This is the kind of essay our world needs right now.

"We’ve come to count on Loeb to turn legitimately exciting space discoveries into aliens, aliens, aliens with the regularity of movies in the Spider Man franchise"

Si vous n'êtes pas loin de l'Observatoire de Haute Provence mercredi prochain, j'y parlerai des liens entre deux de mes centres d'intérêt : l'astronomie et la SF !
