[Zoom on the #CosmicWeb] Have you dived into the deep fields of #Euclid revealed this Wednesday by the @ec_euclid ? Have you navigated between the thousands of #galaxies of different shapes, sizes, colors and masses? So many objects, near and far, fill our #Universe! https://sky.esa.int/esasky/?hide_welcome=true&hide_banner_info=true&hips=DES-DR2+ColorIRG&sci=false&layout=esasky&euclid_image=EDFS
What if their spatial distribution could tell us something about two mysterious components : #DarkMatter and #DarkEnergy? This is the gamble taken by the scientists involved in the Euclid mission. To do so, they've designed some unrivalled #instruments: a camera with great depth of field and high resolution records the variety of shapes and spatial distribution of galaxies, while a #spectrometer coupled with a #photometer can determine the distances and masses of galaxies ...

[End of mission for #Integral] At the time of its launch (in 2002), it was the most advanced #gamma-ray observatory and the first space observatory capable of simultaneously viewing celestial objects in the gamma, X-ray and visible domains.
Integral has transformed our understanding of the high-energy #Universe. Its observations have made it possible to identify the sources of the so-called “long” and “short” gamma-ray bursts (#GRB) : the collapse of stars into supernovae, on the one hand, and the collisions of black holes and neutron stars, on the other.

IRAP's scientific and technical staff have contributed to the success of this mission: both in the realization of the #instruments and in the analysis of the observation data. On February 28, 2025, a long and beautiful page of our space adventure turns ...
Apple's Instruments Tutorials are actually a great introduction. Over the years I've used Instruments from time to time to investigate issues, but never felt I had a good system of how to approach problems.

[Assistance gravitationnelle] Ce 18 février, la sonde #SolarOrbiter de l'ESA s'approchera de la surface de #Vénus, utilisant son champ de #gravité afin de modifier sa trajectoire. Objectif : pointer ses #instruments en direction des régions polaires du #Soleil.
Depuis cette #orbite, la sonde collectera de nouvelles données inédites qui permettront d'affiner notre compréhension de l'activité solaire. Info+ : https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Operations/Solar_Orbiter_ready_for_close_encounter_with_Venus
If you lost your instruments during the fires, CA musicians, check out the Guitar Center Foundation grants. Please share if you know a musician who could use the help.
I sympathize - instruments can be temperamental. Here's a video of an instrument repair that I did. The repair worked, but the volume of the instrument is still compromised by the amount of internal damage.
Bonjour !
Je vous présente mes #guitares de gauche à droite :
- Mountain
- Naria
- Triskèle
- Martin
Chacune a son histoire et sa sonorité.
Et vous, quelles sont vos guitares préférées ?
ERROR EMPIRE
Touring around the world with artist and instrument builder Paul Tas.
I've met him a few times over the last years, also Jaqcy and it's always been such a lot of fun.
This elaborately filmed documentary by Dutch TV is officially not allowed to be screened, but it somehow landed on his yt channel (also with english subtitles). So, maybe it's not very long there.
Here is an instrument I built a while back. It's a 6 string fretless lute.
You play it with a feather (old appalachian dulcimer trick).
Tuned A,C,D,G,D,A
Enjoy the jam!
