Moon over Mastodon 🌙 📷

 
#FollowFriday #Astrophotographers

Truth be told, at @KronoMoonPhotos, what makes us happy is sharing, retooting & boosting everybody's personal #MoonShots, from their #bedroom #windows or their #backyard #gardens. Professional credentials are not required here, although an occasional #hashtag is nice: #MoonOverMastodon.

But there's a special love for our dedicated #deepspace #photogs, for their sharply etched #lunar #mountains & #craters, silent witnesses in the ethereal glow of #MotherEarth. #Astrophotography is a challenging, costly, and sometimes lonely pursuit, its #techies & #artisans gifting us with glimpses of the #wonders of the #cosmos. Here are a few fine practitioners, with our gratitude.

✨During the #Christmas season, we often think of #wonders and the invisible🪄 that connects our world. Did you know that scientists are searching for an invisible wonder - but in the #universe? 🌌 #Axions, the promising candidates for Dark Matter (DM)🖤, are ultra-light particles with masses around 10⁻²² eV and wavelengths of about one kiloparsec (~ 3x10¹⁶ km).

Particles with similar properties to axions are called "axion-like particles" (ALPs). 💡ALPs, which include ultra-light axions, can alter #light polarization – meaning the alignment of #lightwaves. During an internship with us, Sarah searched for such phenomena in low-frequency #LOFAR data 📡 from the pulsar PSR J0332+5434. Low frequencies📉 are ideal, as the ionosphere – an electron layer in the Earth's atmosphere 🌍, caused by solar radiation – creates interference that can be removed from low-frequency LOFAR data through calibration.

According to theories, axions apperars in strong magnetic fields, such as in #stellar cores, where they can escape because they interact very weakly with normal matter. Just like DM 🖤.

Similarly, pulsars have extremely strong static magnetic fields. When cosmic ALPs enter a strong #magneticfield, they can be converted into photons – that is, light 🌟 – and thus become detectable, if ultra-light axions exist.

Currently, there are three methods for searching for ALPs:
1️⃣ Helioscopes for solar ALPs (e.g. IAXO, 🖥️ 1) ☀️,
2️⃣ Haloscope searches in the galactic halo 🌌 (e.g. observing radiopulsars, 🖥️ 2), and
3️⃣ Generating ALPs in the lab 🔬 (e.g. ALPS II, @DESY , 🖥️ 3).

Back in 1971, Soviet engineers sparked a fire in a gas-filled crater in the Turkmenistan desert. They expected the flames to fizzle out within a few days, but to their astonishment, the fire persisted. Fast forward 52 years, and "The Door to Hell" is still aglow, a testament to the unexpected endurance of this otherworldly blaze.

Spotify for PodcastersE039 Miracle Wonder by Driftwood ChristianityThe last of the three part series on miracles. This one is about wonder: wonder as awe, omens, and monsters. In just ten minutes, I'll carve a little faith out of these ideas and pass them on to you. Remember to check out that meme-worthy modern wonder: Double Rainbow. What does this mean? You can support the show in four ways: 1. Follow on socials at facebook, twitter, and mastodon. 2. Rate and review the show on your podcast plaftorm of choice. 3. Like and share. Pass the driftwood on to someone else. 4. Leave a comment! This is now driftwood for you. What will you carve out of it?
