In today’s astrobite, we talk about how gravitational waves could provide insight on particle physics, events in the early Universe, and even matter and antimatter asymmetry.
This bite gives a summary of the impacts of light pollution, across the globe and especially its impact on Indigenous cultures.
Today’s bite looks at the final data release from the Kilo-Degree Survey, reporting a measurement of the clumpiness of the Universe as measured by weak gravitational lensing.
This post summarizes the second half of Chapter 7 of the book ‘Climate Change for Astronomers’, involving a discussion of energy sources available to us in the present, and the future, in order to understand the way forward for solutions to climate change. It also discusses how various solutions can be combined, how energy usage can be made more efficient, and how we can move towards creating a smarter and greener energy infrastructure.
In today’s bite, we look at a novel way of searching for dark matter using the background of images of galaxies in infrared wavelengths.
