We're reminiscing on a great week in New Orleans for #AAS243 🤩

Reminisce with us in our latest news post👇

I’m quoted in this Scientific American story about a possible primordial dark/low surface brightness galaxy detected in the radio at #GreenBankObservatory, presented at #AAS243. They took out all the careful caveats of course! (But I know to expect that)

My abiding memory of #NewOrleans is that drivers don’t stop for pedestrian crosswalks even when the lights are flashing until you step in front of their two tons of speeding metal, and sometimes not even then. And then shout at you for making them stop. A thoroughly unpleasant city. #aas243 #NOLA

New Orleans - for - was scientifically a blast. But the city remains amazing. So much good music (wjblues.com yoshitakaz2tsuji.bandcamp.com amongst many others) & so much good food. Stand out: the blackened redfish at Coop's Place (www.coopsplace.net) which I had a decade ago, and have been craving ever since.

Discovery of the Big Ring, an ultra-large cosmological structure, by Alexia Lopez @morninglopez and her co-authors, further challenges what we understand about the universe.

This finding was announced yesterday at the Winter Meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

At a press conference to hear UCLan's Alexia Lopez present on her discovery of a giant ring of galaxies 1.3 billion light-years across, to add to her prior discovery of a 'giant arc'. Nice article here: t.co/65CQcDRDLE

That said: I'm pretty skeptical of the claim. The fact that the two structures are at about the same distance suggests that there might be some systematic effect - I don't see any reason the Universe would have a particular epoch of massive structures.

Today is the LAST DAY of #AAS243 in New Orleans. Have you stopped by the STScI booth to talk about Hubble, Webb, Roman, MAST and employment opportunities?

If you did stop by the booth this week, what did you learn from our experts that you want others to know?

Science Highlights from the #JWST town hall at #AAS243:
- More than 700 JWST papers published so far.
- JWST found thousands of galaxies in the early universe, which are brighter and more numerous than expected.
- There are a lot of active supermassive black holes in the early universe, which may require massive seeds.
- Detecting molecules in the atmospheres of giant exoplanets is easier than expected, but the atmospheres of rocky planets are hard to measure.

The science community is turning JWST data into papers. There are >700 JWST papers so far (ADS, conservative estimate). Kirk in a pile of Tribbles. The tribbles are labeled "JWST science papers"JWST has found thousands of galaxies at Z>9, transforming out understanding of the first Gigayear of cosmic history.

* JWST is performing better than requirements, better than we dared hope. 
* JWST papers (N>700 to date) cover an extremely broad range of science.
* JWST’S Capabilities have transformed our view of the high-redshift universe, and are determining the chemical composition of giant planets. 
* The user community is analyzing high-quality data, making discoveries, and proposing new observations. 
* Improvements to the pipeline and calibrations will make it easier to make data science-ready, with the potential to broaden the user community. 
* It’s still early days — the most significant discoveries lie ahead.

Jane Rigby at the #JWST town hall at #AAS243 attempted to have ChatGPT write the first draft of her talk for her. It didn't go so well ...

You:  What are the most significant discoveries of the webb telescope? 

ChatGPT: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope e g, (JWST) had not yet been launched, and therefore, it had not made any discoveries. The JWST was scheduled to launch on December 18, 2021. It is designed to be the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope and is expected to make groundbreaking observations in the infrared spectrum, allowing astronomers to study the early universe, exoplanets, and various astrophysical phenomena in unprecedented detail. For the latest information on the discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope, I recommend checking official NASA sources, scientific publications, and news updates. Keep in mind that information about JWST's discoveries may become

Tonight's "JWST Town Hall" at #AAS243 gave updates about the performance of the observatory, reviewed the status of science operations, and provided a summary description of Cycle 2 approved proposals, as well as the submitted Cycle 3 proposals.
