Astronomer, University of Delaware Speaking for myself.
First time in three decades teaching at University of Delaware’s beautiful Memorial Hall in the center of campus. (Of course, I’m actually in the basement). #UDel
University of Delaware astronomy watch party for Vera Rubin First Look is off to a great start. 🔭
It was great to see the new telescope at Mt Cuba Astronomical Observatory in Delaware USA yesterday. 🔭
I decided to read Oppenheimer & Snyder (1939) On Continued Gravitational Contraction (aka formation of black holes from stars) and I loved this line: "We have been unable to integrate these equations..." 🔭
Tomorrow's University of Delaware physics (biophysics!) colloquium is our own Prof. Ed Lyman on "Lipidomic Adaptations at Extreme Pressure".
Another 🔭 Astronomy picture I saved from twitter, this one with a twist on the habitable zone concept. Sorry, I don’t know who to credit.
