Having fun at the Past, Present, Future conference, celebrating 75 years of @astronnl.bsky.social. Lots of amazing talks about the early and risky days of LOFAR and WSRT.

It is Astrofest for @astronnl.bsky.social/JIVE today! We get together once-a-year and discuss about what motivates us (whether that is a particular science problem or their hobbies).

Even when our #LOFAR telescope is busy getting an upgrade, it is still reaching new milestones. According to the NASA/SAO Astrophysics Data System, the overview paper ‘LOFAR: The LOw-Frequency ARray’ has reached over 2,000 citations! ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013A%26...

Bezoekers vanuit het zuiden aan onze open dag komende zondag opgelet: er vinden wegwerkzaamheden plaats. Volg daarom niet blindelings je navigatiesysteem, maar let goed op de borden, die je een alternatieve route naar Dwingeloo geven. #WvdW24 www.gemeentewesterveld.nl/Alle_onderwe...

Many ASTRON researchers make use of #AstroPy and some have also contributed to its development. In our opinion this is a well-deserved award to all those around the world who have contributed to it. Congratulations! 🎉 aas.org/press/astrop...

Tomorrow at 8 pm, ASTRON’s André Gunst will be giving a lecture in Enschede about the search for the Big Bang. The lecture is hosted by the Qua Art-Qua Science foundation. Interested in learning more about this? Attend the lecture for free! www.qaqs.org/nieuw/wp-con...

Inviation for the lecture. At the top the title 'QAQS - Qua Art-Qua Science, followed by a despcription of the lecture subject and lecturer and the date and time and location of the lecture. The invitation is in Dutch. On the background you can see an image of the LOFAR superterp, the core of the LOFAR telescope, of which lecturer André Gunst is the system architect.

Director of @astronnl.bsky.social, Jessica Dempsey, asks: 💬 What makes our data so expensive? 💬 What are we paying for? Turns out, whiskey can help us understand. 🥃 📊 Time (in barrels) + processing (distilling) = can our planet continue to afford this carbon footprint? #SPIEastro

A speaker wearing a blue shirt and orange pants is presenting on stage in an auditorium. The slide behind the speaker shows a photo of whiskey barrels with the text "What are we paying for, with a good whiskey?" and "Good distillation processing... and time."
