Janna Levin Instagram - From hopeless but pretty calculations in pen on paper to an actual image of the black hole ray gun. Amazing. Repost from @ehtelescope - Event Horizon Telescope Captures First Image of Black Hole’s Magnetic Fields

For the first time, EHT scientists have mapped out the magnetic fields surrounding black holes in the centers of galaxies. To do this, they captured light waves that were polarized. You can see the orientation of these light waves highlighted in the elegant golden arcs around the black hole’s shadow.

This new image may hold the key to one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries: the extraction of energy from black holes. Black holes have the strongest gravity in the universe-- they bend the path of light, pull blazing-hot plasma into orbit around them, and even warp magnetic fields. Surprisingly, some black holes also eject matter and energy, forming massive jets that shoot material away at tremendous speeds. 

But why do these jets form, and how do they resist the pull of the black hole? With this breakthrough, EHT scientists have taken a crucial step in solving the mystery.

Janna Levin Instagram - "Being a Chicago kid, I remember very distinctly the first time I saw the sky without street lights. I was on an island off of South Carolina with my parents. My father and I were lying out under the skies, and there were no streetlights on the island. It was the first time I saw the Milky Way. I think I should have known then that I was a scientist.

"I have a strange relationship with the stars. When I look up into the sky, I feel upside down. I have that sense that 'that’s not up.' Like I’m falling into that midnight pool. I no longer think of the sky as up. I think of us as floating in space. We are in space.

"I also think about the light touching my eye. That star could be seven light years away. It’s sending light to me. It could be a thousand light years away, but it’s sending me light. My eye got it, and absorbed it, and took it out of the world. But it touched my eye. So I have a visceral sense of being connected to that. As austere and unreciprocated my admiration is of the universe, I definitely feel that."

🔊 SOUND ON to hear @JannaLevin on Sagittarius, one of the largest zodiac constellations of stars in the Southern Sky. 
 
Levin’s essay is one of four audio recordings developed for the exhibition Felix Gonzalez-Torres, on view at the gallery. Each recording is meant to help broaden engagement and encourage independent thinking, offering subjective and auxiliary content with unique perspectives. Levin’s essay is paired with Gonzalez-Torres’s work, “Untitled” (Sagitario), pictured above. This work was initially scheduled to debut at a significant one-person exhibition at CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux in 1995. For institutional reasons, the exhibition was rescheduled and ultimately never occurred. For the first time, the work has been realized as originally intended by the artist. Consisting of two twelve-foot diameter circular reflecting pools embedded in and level with the floor of the gallery space, the pools are positioned to be just touching, causing a nearly imperceptible exchange of water. 
 
Tap the link in our bio/stories to learn more about the exhibition, listen to Levin’s perspective in the full audio recording, and plan your visit to the gallery at 519, 525, and 533 West 19th Street.

Janna Levin Instagram - "I did not always want to be a scientist. Even in college, I had very violent opinions about physics and what it was. I thought physicists memorized equations and built bombs, and that they were uncreative people, that it was not a creative field. It wasn’t until I was halfway through college that I discovered this subject that I knew nothing about. But once I got into physics, wow.

"Before then, I had been a philosophy major. The idea that we would sit here and argue about 'what Kant meant' drove me out of my mind. We were discussing Kant’s mother and his town and I thought, How could this be true if it has to do with his mother? It drove me bananas. There was something about the power of understanding that when Einstein taught us E=mc2, nobody’s going, 'What was his relationship with his mother?' He taught it to us, and then it was ours. It belongs to absolutely anybody who wants to learn E=mc2. It is yours. It's transcendent, and presumably it’s true in another galaxy, for an alien life form. You don’t have to even know it was Einstein who said it. Something about that cut me to the quick."

Janna Levin Instagram - "We no longer think we’re at the center of the solar system. We understand the sun is. We understand that there are more solar systems out there. We understand that there might be life out there. For a minute, you can see yourself on this small planet and think, 'What are we warring over? What are we doing? We all have this in common.'

"So I think that science has an incredible ability to give us glimpses of who we really are on this little bit of rock, and a moment to think about how absurd it is to be fighting across borders of two groups of people that share a common history, or at least share some commonality in their experience. Let alone people who are killing each other from around the world. It also reveals how precious life is and what’s important."

Janna Levin Instagram - Joe Patterson was my first astronomy professor. He would pace at the front of the old lecture hall in Columbia’s physics department, writing equations on green chalkboards while a hundred undergraduates sat scattered among the worn, wooden auditorium seats. Joe was everyone’s favorite. He’d throw chocolates to anyone who piped up enough to ask a question. Around the 1990s, Joe wrote and illustrated a seasonal newsletter, in the style of an old-fashioned paper zine, of astronomical highlights visible from New York City. His affable style mixed wit and history with astronomy for a completely charming, largely undiscovered cult classic: Big Apple Astronomy. We hope to convince Joe to revive the zine as a quarterly column on The Broadcast; in the meantime he has shared with us a February 2022 issue of Big Apple Sky Calendar, the daily guide to sky viewing that used to conclude the seasonal newsletter. Steal a few moments of reprieve from the city’s mayhem to take in these sights. As Oscar Wilde said, “we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

Janna Levin Instagram - In nineteenth-century America, astronomical observatories had become something of a craze and, despite an intriguing history of bold attempts to manifest a grand observatory in the bustling metropolis around Brooklyn and Manhattan, none succeeded. The rise and fall of the three largest never-built public New York metropolitan area observatories proposed between 1847 and the first world war—the Brooklyn Observatory, the New York Astronomical Observatory in Central Park, and the observatory of the Brooklyn Institute (now the Brooklyn Museum)—is a tale of great passion and mislaid dreams. 

In an inspired, Fitzcarraldian ambition, Pioneer Works plans to hoist a stunning observatory atop the former factory originally named Pioneer Iron Works. The Pioneer Works Observatory—a public observatory the likes of which New York City has never seen—will offer a magical experience, free and available to all. To honor the city’s history of false starts, the Broadcast team commissioned science writer, historian, and antique telescope enthusiast, Trudy Bell, to reflect upon New York City’s observatories that might have been.

Janna Levin Instagram - Scientific Controversies: Is Math Invented or Discovered? Upcoming, Free with RSVP @pioneerworks 

Guests Max Tegmark and Rafael Nunez 
@mtegmark 

“The enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious… there is no rational explanation for it,” wrote Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner. There are mathematical descriptions of natural phenomena on all scales: Fibonacci series in flowers, logarithmic spirals in snails, fractals in mountain ranges, parabolas in home runs, and pi in the spherical shape of stars, planets, and bubbles. But is math discovered in nature or is it invented by humans and imposed on an agnostic reality? Will mathematics always be able to unlock the mysteries of the universe, or will we come to an end of its utility?

You cannot look at the universe in a mirror and see the same universe. Fascinating woman. In China, parades have marched in her honor, statues have been planted, honors awarded. Little tributes to her used to line the walls of the physics building at Columbia where she worked for decades. And now, a commemorative USPS stamp. To Madame Wu. @columbia

Full Lunar Eclipse - 11.57pm over New York City - So great to see so many families standing on Boulevard East in NJ witnessing this incredible event. A kid was so excited explaining to several bystanders exactly what was happening as the moon orbited into the Earth's umbral shadow causing the shorter red wavelengths of light to refract inwards from our atmosphere onto the moon giving it this distinct color. He was about 10 years old. There's hope for science yet.
Janna Levin Instagram - The Nobel Prize in physics that was awarded today builds on John Bell’s seminal 1964 theorem that helped settle some scores and launch the second quantum revolution.

Janna Levin Instagram - “I don’t want to talk about my films.” It was quite a proviso, coming from legendary German filmmaker Werner Herzog, at the start of his conversation with Janna Levin at Pioneer Works in October. Known for producing, writing, and directing more than 60 feature and documentary films, including Nosferatu, Fitzcarraldo, and Grizzly Man, Herzog wanted to focus instead on his long standing writing practice—specifically, his new memoir, Every Man for Himself and God Against All. Long-awaited, the book is as inventive and daring as Herzog is, and tells the story of his epic artistic career in his inimitable voice.

Luckily for everyone, Herzog did end up discussing his films (if only as a means to return to poetry), as well as his childhood of poverty in Germany, the “murderousness” of nature, and surviving against all odds. Watch more on #PWBroadcast at the link in bio🔗🎥📚

Does infinity exist or is it just something we invented? How big is infinity? How small? How many infinities are there? Will there be an end or will time and space go on forever? What is our fate if the universe is infinite? And if finite, when will it all end?⁠
⁠
"A Trip to Infinity" is a new animated documentary exploring one of the most provocative questions in all of science and featuring an all-star cast of scientists—including PW Director of Sciences Janna Levin (@jannalevin)—as they hunt for evidence of infinity in the real world.⁠
⁠
Next Thursday, join us at Roxy Cinema (@roxycinemanyc) for a screening of the new documentary with and a post-film Q&A with Janna Levin, director Jon Halperin, and mathematician Steven Strogatz.⁠
⁠
The screening coincides with the publication of the new paperback edition of Levin's book How the Universe Got Its Spots: Diary of a Finite Time in a Finite Space. Following the screening, books will be available for purchase, and there will be a signing with the author.
Janna Levin Instagram - Repost from @pioneerworks: "the bomb," by artist Smriti Keshari (@kesharis) and critically acclaimed writer Eric Schlosser, was originally scheduled to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 2020, now opens on March 19.

The multimedia installation immerses the viewer within the story of nuclear weapons—from the Trinity Test in 1945 to current discourses today in 2021—in order to explore the perverse beauty and seduction of the machines, alongside the existential threat they still pose. @thebombnow

The abandoned building was sealed off from all natural light but was oddly full of little shacks, a multitude of silos, as though symbolically, as though begging to be torn down in favor of the vision of a new interwoven community."

Janna Levin Instagram - My former street corner in The North End, Boston. My roommate was Shep Doeleman, who became the director of Event Horizon Telescope. We were deep in tumultuous graduate school struggles. Capturing an image of a black hole was a foolish dream. Gawd we laughed so much. There were some tears too.

To think that in an uncertain future, I'd travel to the National Press Club to watch Shep reveal the image, to join a billion people around the globe looking together in that moment at a black hole 6.5 billion times the mass of the sun & 55 million light years away...gah. What a time to be alive.

In the background, The Old North Church: “One if by land. Two if by sea.” And all that.

Janna Levin Instagram - Sci Con is back. RSVP: There may be billions of trillions of planets in the observable universe—possibly more planets than there are stars. These exoplanets range from giant storms of pure gas, like Jupiter, to rocky planets, like Earth, orbiting all manner of stars including dead collapsed neutron stars or even black holes. In our galactic neighborhood, we’ve already found over 4,000 to date, and scientists continue to scan these proximate celestial bodies for any signs of life.

I’m excited to host Natalie Batalha (@beccasubstellar), astrophysicist and project scientist for @nasa’s Kepler Mission, and Dr. Rebecca Oppenheimer, comparative exoplanetary scientist, to discuss exoplanets, undiscovered life forms beyond our solar system, and if we will ever encounter kindred inhabitants of the Milky Way.

Janna Levin - 1.1K Likes - From hopeless but pretty calculations in pen on paper to an actual image of the black hole ray gun. Amazing. Repost from @ehtelescope - Event Horizon Telescope Captures First Image of Black Hole’s Magnetic Fields

For the first time, EHT scientists have mapped out the magnetic fields surrounding black holes in the centers of galaxies. To do this, they captured light waves that were polarized. You can see the orientation of these light waves highlighted in the elegant golden arcs around the black hole’s shadow.

This new image may hold the key to one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries: the extraction of energy from black holes. Black holes have the strongest gravity in the universe-- they bend the path of light, pull blazing-hot plasma into orbit around them, and even warp magnetic fields. Surprisingly, some black holes also eject matter and energy, forming massive jets that shoot material away at tremendous speeds. 

But why do these jets form, and how do they resist the pull of the black hole? With this breakthrough, EHT scientists have taken a crucial step in solving the mystery.

My father and I were lying out under the skies, and there were no streetlights on the island. It was the first time I saw the Milky Way. I think I should have known then that I was a scientist.

"I have a strange relationship with the stars. When I look up into the sky, I feel upside down. I have that sense that 'that’s not up.' Like I’m falling into that midnight pool. I no longer think of the sky as up. I think of us as floating in space. We are in space.

"I also think about the light touching my eye. That star could be seven light years away. It’s sending light to me. It could be a thousand light years away, but it’s sending me light. My eye got it, and absorbed it, and took it out of the world. But it touched my eye. So I have a visceral sense of being connected to that. As austere and unreciprocated my admiration is of the universe, I definitely feel that."

We are in space. “I also think about the light touching my eye. That star could be seven light years away. It’s sending light to me. It could be a thousand light years away, but it’s sending me light. My eye got it, and absorbed it, and took it out of the world. But it touched my eye. So I have a visceral sense of being connected to that. As austere and unreciprocated my admiration is of the universe, I definitely feel that.” —— Astrophysicist and author of Black Hole Blues @jannalevin gets deep in our recent Conversation.

Janna Levin - 1K Likes - Insane mask for novelist Jonathan Lethem replete with pen, scissors, & skull. What else do you need to survive the Plague? From @unicorngenius’s Dark Matter Mask series for the @PioneerWorks store. All proceeds to support our collaborations with scientists and artists. This is a classic link-in-bio scenario.

🔊 SOUND ON to hear @JannaLevin on Sagittarius, one of the largest zodiac constellations of stars in the Southern Sky. 
 
Levin’s essay is one of four audio recordings developed for the exhibition Felix Gonzalez-Torres, on view at the gallery. Each recording is meant to help broaden engagement and encourage independent thinking, offering subjective and auxiliary content with unique perspectives. Levin’s essay is paired with Gonzalez-Torres’s work, “Untitled” (Sagitario), pictured above. This work was initially scheduled to debut at a significant one-person exhibition at CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux in 1995. For institutional reasons, the exhibition was rescheduled and ultimately never occurred. For the first time, the work has been realized as originally intended by the artist. Consisting of two twelve-foot diameter circular reflecting pools embedded in and level with the floor of the gallery space, the pools are positioned to be just touching, causing a nearly imperceptible exchange of water. 
 
Tap the link in our bio/stories to learn more about the exhibition, listen to Levin’s perspective in the full audio recording, and plan your visit to the gallery at 519, 525, and 533 West 19th Street.

I thought physicists memorized equations and built bombs, and that they were uncreative people, that it was not a creative field. It wasn’t until I was halfway through college that I discovered this subject that I knew nothing about. But once I got into physics, wow.

"Before then, I had been a philosophy major. The idea that we would sit here and argue about 'what Kant meant' drove me out of my mind. We were discussing Kant’s mother and his town and I thought, How could this be true if it has to do with his mother? It drove me bananas. There was something about the power of understanding that when Einstein taught us E=mc2, nobody’s going, 'What was his relationship with his mother?' He taught it to us, and then it was ours. It belongs to absolutely anybody who wants to learn E=mc2. It is yours. It's transcendent, and presumably it’s true in another galaxy, for an alien life form. You don’t have to even know it was Einstein who said it. Something about that cut me to the quick."

He would pace at the front of the old lecture hall in Columbia’s physics department, writing equations on green chalkboards while a hundred undergraduates sat scattered among the worn, wooden auditorium seats. Joe was everyone’s favorite. He’d throw chocolates to anyone who piped up enough to ask a question. Around the 1990s, Joe wrote and illustrated a seasonal newsletter, in the style of an old-fashioned paper zine, of astronomical highlights visible from New York City. His affable style mixed wit and history with astronomy for a completely charming, largely undiscovered cult classic: Big Apple Astronomy. We hope to convince Joe to revive the zine as a quarterly column on The Broadcast; in the meantime he has shared with us a February 2022 issue of Big Apple Sky Calendar, the daily guide to sky viewing that used to conclude the seasonal newsletter. Steal a few moments of reprieve from the city’s mayhem to take in these sights. As Oscar Wilde said, “we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

Janna Levin - 552 Likes - In nineteenth-century America, astronomical observatories had become something of a craze and, despite an intriguing history of bold attempts to manifest a grand observatory in the bustling metropolis around Brooklyn and Manhattan, none succeeded. The rise and fall of the three largest never-built public New York metropolitan area observatories proposed between 1847 and the first world war—the Brooklyn Observatory, the New York Astronomical Observatory in Central Park, and the observatory of the Brooklyn Institute (now the Brooklyn Museum)—is a tale of great passion and mislaid dreams. 

In an inspired, Fitzcarraldian ambition, Pioneer Works plans to hoist a stunning observatory atop the former factory originally named Pioneer Iron Works. The Pioneer Works Observatory—a public observatory the likes of which New York City has never seen—will offer a magical experience, free and available to all. To honor the city’s history of false starts, the Broadcast team commissioned science writer, historian, and antique telescope enthusiast, Trudy Bell, to reflect upon New York City’s observatories that might have been.

The rise and fall of the three largest never-built public New York metropolitan area observatories proposed between 1847 and the first world war—the Brooklyn Observatory, the New York Astronomical Observatory in Central Park, and the observatory of the Brooklyn Institute (now the Brooklyn Museum)—is a tale of great passion and mislaid dreams. 

In an inspired, Fitzcarraldian ambition, Pioneer Works plans to hoist a stunning observatory atop the former factory originally named Pioneer Iron Works. The Pioneer Works Observatory—a public observatory the likes of which New York City has never seen—will offer a magical experience, free and available to all.

Janna Levin - 489 Likes - Scientific Controversies: Is Math Invented or Discovered? Upcoming, Free with RSVP @pioneerworks 

Guests Max Tegmark and Rafael Nunez 
@mtegmark 

“The enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious… there is no rational explanation for it,” wrote Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner. There are mathematical descriptions of natural phenomena on all scales: Fibonacci series in flowers, logarithmic spirals in snails, fractals in mountain ranges, parabolas in home runs, and pi in the spherical shape of stars, planets, and bubbles. But is math discovered in nature or is it invented by humans and imposed on an agnostic reality? Will mathematics always be able to unlock the mysteries of the universe, or will we come to an end of its utility?

You cannot look at the universe in a mirror and see the same universe. Fascinating woman. In China, parades have marched in her honor, statues have been planted, honors awarded. Little tributes to her used to line the walls of the physics building at Columbia where she worked for decades. And now, a commemorative USPS stamp. To Madame Wu. @columbia

Full Lunar Eclipse - 11.57pm over New York City - So great to see so many families standing on Boulevard East in NJ witnessing this incredible event. A kid was so excited explaining to several bystanders exactly what was happening as the moon orbited into the Earth's umbral shadow causing the shorter red wavelengths of light to refract inwards from our atmosphere onto the moon giving it this distinct color. He was about 10 years old. There's hope for science yet.

Janna Levin - 431 Likes - “I don’t want to talk about my films.” It was quite a proviso, coming from legendary German filmmaker Werner Herzog, at the start of his conversation with Janna Levin at Pioneer Works in October. Known for producing, writing, and directing more than 60 feature and documentary films, including Nosferatu, Fitzcarraldo, and Grizzly Man, Herzog wanted to focus instead on his long standing writing practice—specifically, his new memoir, Every Man for Himself and God Against All. Long-awaited, the book is as inventive and daring as Herzog is, and tells the story of his epic artistic career in his inimitable voice.

Luckily for everyone, Herzog did end up discussing his films (if only as a means to return to poetry), as well as his childhood of poverty in Germany, the “murderousness” of nature, and surviving against all odds. Watch more on #PWBroadcast at the link in bio🔗🎥📚

Does infinity exist or is it just something we invented? How big is infinity? How small? How many infinities are there? Will there be an end or will time and space go on forever? What is our fate if the universe is infinite? And if finite, when will it all end?⁠
⁠
"A Trip to Infinity" is a new animated documentary exploring one of the most provocative questions in all of science and featuring an all-star cast of scientists—including PW Director of Sciences Janna Levin (@jannalevin)—as they hunt for evidence of infinity in the real world.⁠
⁠
Next Thursday, join us at Roxy Cinema (@roxycinemanyc) for a screening of the new documentary with and a post-film Q&A with Janna Levin, director Jon Halperin, and mathematician Steven Strogatz.⁠
⁠
The screening coincides with the publication of the new paperback edition of Levin's book How the Universe Got Its Spots: Diary of a Finite Time in a Finite Space. Following the screening, books will be available for purchase, and there will be a signing with the author.

The multimedia installation immerses the viewer within the story of nuclear weapons—from the Trinity Test in 1945 to current discourses today in 2021—in order to explore the perverse beauty and seduction of the machines, alongside the existential threat they still pose. @thebombnow

The abandoned building was sealed off from all natural light but was oddly full of little shacks, a multitude of silos, as though symbolically, as though begging to be torn down in favor of the vision of a new interwoven community."

As our tenth year comes to an end, PW Broadcast Editor-in-Chief Janna Levin (@jannalevin) offers a beautiful remembering of the origins of Pioneer Works—and a toast to the future of this "wild dream." Read “Ten Years of Pioneer Works” now at the link in bio.

The abandoned building was sealed off from all natural light but was oddly full of little shacks, a multitude of silos, as though symbolically, as though begging to be torn down in favor of the vision of a new interwoven community.” As our tenth year comes to an end, PW Broadcast Editor-in-Chief Janna Levin (@jannalevin) offers a beautiful remembering of the origins of Pioneer Works—and a toast to the future of this “wild dream.” Read “Ten Years of Pioneer Works” now at the link in bio.

Janna Levin - 371 Likes - My former street corner in The North End, Boston. My roommate was Shep Doeleman, who became the director of Event Horizon Telescope. We were deep in tumultuous graduate school struggles. Capturing an image of a black hole was a foolish dream. Gawd we laughed so much. There were some tears too.

To think that in an uncertain future, I'd travel to the National Press Club to watch Shep reveal the image, to join a billion people around the globe looking together in that moment at a black hole 6.5 billion times the mass of the sun & 55 million light years away...gah. What a time to be alive.

In the background, The Old North Church: “One if by land. Two if by sea.” And all that.

Janna Levin - 296 Likes - Sci Con is back. RSVP: There may be billions of trillions of planets in the observable universe—possibly more planets than there are stars. These exoplanets range from giant storms of pure gas, like Jupiter, to rocky planets, like Earth, orbiting all manner of stars including dead collapsed neutron stars or even black holes. In our galactic neighborhood, we’ve already found over 4,000 to date, and scientists continue to scan these proximate celestial bodies for any signs of life.

I’m excited to host Natalie Batalha (@beccasubstellar), astrophysicist and project scientist for @nasa’s Kepler Mission, and Dr. Rebecca Oppenheimer, comparative exoplanetary scientist, to discuss exoplanets, undiscovered life forms beyond our solar system, and if we will ever encounter kindred inhabitants of the Milky Way.
