The Nobel Prize
@NobelPrize4 Jul 2024
Today we remember one of the world's greatest scientists: Marie Skłodowska Curie, who died #OTD in 1934. Curie was the first person to be awarded the #NobelPrize twice and is still the only person to receive the prize in two different scientific fields.

That's no lightsaber... These are two views of a dusty disk made of planet formation debris, observed in infrared light for the first time. The white star symbol marks where Webb blocked out starlight with a coronagraph, or mask: go.nasa.gov/3ULYapd #MayTheFourthBeWithYou!
This image shows two views of the dusty debris disk around the red dwarf star AU Mic. The top panel is the disk at 3.56 microns. The disk appears as a fuzzy, blue, horizontal line broken in the middle by a black region outlined by a white, dashed circle. In the center of that region is a white, graphical star, which represents AU Mic. The actual star is blocked out in this image by Webb’s NIRCam coronagraph. The bottom panel is the second view of the disk, at 4.44 microns. The disk appears as a fuzzy, red, horizontal line broken in the middle by a black region outlined by a white, dashed circle. As in the top panel, in the center of that region is a cartoonish star representing AU Mic. The actual star is blocked out by the NIRCam’s coronagraph.

Happy Pi day! The current date and time (14 March, 1.59pm) resemble 3.14159, the approximation of the mathematical constant Pi, or π. Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The ratio stays the same no matter how big or small the circle is. #π #PiDay
