Retrograde motion is the apparent backwards motion that planets make as they travel across the sky.
Prior to the sun-centered model of the solar system, it was believed planets made loopty loops as they circled the earth.
The Copernican model explains this motion w/o loops. (1/2)

Well the short version is that I’m a physicist who finished high school with every intention of becoming a lawyer - pictured is 19yo me not caring about science

* New viz function `projview` based on plain matplotlib, with lon/lat labels and more healpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/newv…
* Finally new default for I/O: write_map keeps dtype of input map array instead of float32, read_map keeps dtype of FITS file instead of upcasting to float64, write_cl uses dtype of input cl instead of float64, see discussion in github.com/healpy/healpy/…
* Changed all warnings to using the logging module, deprecated all verbose keywords , see the docs healpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#ver…, discussion in github.com/healpy/healpy/…

Many physicists believe that such #PeVatrons accelerate particles up to at least PeV energies (PeV=10^15 eV).
Possible PeVatrons include #supernova explosions, star-forming regions, & Sgr A* the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

But despite decades of hunting, only a few PeVatron candidates have been located in the #MilkyWay.
The Tibet ASγ experiment, a #China-#Japan collaboration, has reported new measurements that provide further evidence for galactic #PeVatrons.

Titěrná galaxie NGC 1052-DF4 udělala nedávno v kosmologii nemalé vlny. Její pozorování naznačilo, že má kolem sebe šokantně málo temné hmoty. Nynější studie naznačuje řešení záhady – temná hmota kolem NGC 1052-DF4 skutečně chybí, ale jenom protože ji UKRADLY GALAXIE OKOLNÍ. 💥
To zjistilo pozorování týmu MIREI MONTES učiněná s pomocí Hubblea. DF4 se totiž nachází blízko masivnější galaxie NGC1035. Právě tenhle větší budulínek z menší galaxie ZŘEJMĚ ODSÁVÁ viditelnou (baryonovou) hmotu i „neviditelnou“ temnou (nebaryonovou) hmotu. 🌬
