Head out to the Astronomy Park from 7-8:30 tonight for a viewing of the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. Also some really impressive images of the moon. @JMUPlanetarium
Nice night for star gazing and a good crowd of students, friends, and families to view Jupiter and comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF).
Nice to see Dr. Geary Albright telling our community about the interesting sights in the night sky this winter. whsv.com/video/2023/01/17/no…
Congratulations to JMU Physics alum Paul Denholm '93 who was recently named an IEEE Fellow for his contributions to energy storage in renewable-energy systems! ieee.org/membership/fellows/…

We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Dr. Debbie Warnaar. Dr. Warnaar started her career with us in 1992 and retired in 2021. She was an exceptional educator, mentor, and friend. She impacted the lives of countless students. She will be missed. kygers.com/obituary/deborah-…

4 Mind-blowing facts about the James Webb Space Telescope

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages/

ALT The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.

As President Biden prepares to release the first image from the James Webb Space Telescope at 5 p.m. today, JMU astrophysicist Anca Constantine is among those anxiously awaiting. Constantin is available to discuss the importance of the JWST. fal.cn/3q8QR

It might be summer, but our students are hard at work! @JMUPhysics juniors Daniel Mischenko and John Barber joined UVA physics major Gabriela Niculescu at the Advanced Photon Source in Argonne National Laboratory to complete their research project, supervised by Dr. Tina Rost.
