has a really cool profile if you like handmade custom musical instruments!!

1/n Proud to present the next #prototype development round of our Rechenkraft.net #Molecular #AR Environment at #CLT2025 (March 22/23rd): An #OpenSource approach based on the @tiltfive.bsky.social hardware to visualize #molecular structures in #3D.

Even more wow. Soundpaint is a free synth engine (with free and paid instrument pack aspects) and you can import your own sample as well! Never really heard of it before but checking it out now, #music #instruments #vst #logic

[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 ...

Are you burdened by all that money weighing down your pockets? Is your bank account all too often full? Does your card no longer fit in the little holder on your phone as you simply have too much money on it? Being financially independent does come with a bunch of drawbacks for sure. I have the solution for you!

Start with music production! That will lighten your load of all that pesky cash in no time! Watch the zeros disappear on your bank account like it was nothing, until there literally is nothing!

You can thank me later.

[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. Info+ : https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Integral/Mission_accomplished_for_Integral_ESA_s_gamma-ray_telescope

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 ...

Integral a transformé notre compréhension de l’ #Univers des hautes énergies. Ses observations ont notamment permis d'identifier les sources des #SursautsGamma qualifiés de "longs" et "courts" : l'effondrement d'étoiles en supernovae, d'une part, les collisions de trous noirs et d'étoiles à neutrons, d'autre part.
