🧵 🔭 🧪 #HistSci ⚛️ 29 May 1919: A total solar eclipse confirmed Einstein’s General Relativity thanks to 'The Eddington experiment' that determined the deflection of the starlight next to the Sun. "Einstein, Eddington and the 1919 eclipse" by Peter Coles: articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/pdf/2001ASPC...

"Black Sun: On 29 May 1919, the new moon covered the blazingly bright disk of the Sun. The astronomers back then were already able to quite impressively photograph the shadow dance. This historical photo clearly shows the corona, the outer gas atmosphere of the Sun."

Image: Inverted image of the eclipse on May 29, 1919.

The photo shows Sir Arthur Eddington (right) and Einstein sitting on a bench, engaged in a friendly discussion.
The photo of the two scientists was taken in 1930 at the University of Cambridge in Great Britain.

And a nice write-up in @natureportfolio.nature.com news: www.nature.com/articles/d41... "The researchers found a way to encode these different parameters into a single ytterbium ion trapped in a vacuum using pulsating electric fields..." ⚛️ 🧪

nature.com

Single atom acts as a quantum computer and simulates molecules

A trapped ytterbium ion can be used to simulate complex changes in the energy levels of organic molecules interacting with light.

A recent paper led by collaboration members Yoonsoo Kim and Elias Most (both at Caltech) is in @aasnova.org today! This work explores the formation of strongly magnetized "monster" shocks and a transient "black hole pulsar" state from mergers of a magnetized neutron star and a black hole. ⚛️🧪🔭

Our community flourished because of 3 NSF grants we earned 10 years ago. We were awarded another one to grow the community and move us to sustainability without federal support. Each day that passes brings worry that we won't be able to do so. #iteachphysics #physicsksy #astrosky #SaveNSF
