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."

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.

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.

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 - 1K Likes - "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."

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.

Caption : 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.

Janna Levin - 475 Likes - I’ve always been enamored of Madame Wu. Her experiments revealed that the universe is not left-right symmetric. 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.
