"Dust symbolizes ego, attachment, and mental clutter." 👏👏👏 Guest submission by @lillykormann.bsky.social

A picture of a label for an artwork entitled "when flowers bloom, there is no dust" (plus some Chinese characters).

It's described as "Dust symbolizes ego, attachment, and mental clutter. When awareness blossoms, the mind becomes clear." There is a large "SOLD" label.

don't know what we'd do without clustering algorithms

ok hear me out: what if we just removed all dust (✨ guest submission ✨ by @alexis-space.bsky.social)

A meme of two people's arms shaking each other in agreement. One person is labelled "catalogs of open clusters". The other is labelled "maps of OB stars". They are agreeing on "doomed to be incomplete because of dust".

petition to remove dust from the milky way 1 like = 1 dust grain removed

Text on top of a picture of a dust cloud in space. It reads:

JUST SHOW ME THE STARS"

we have gotta get Gaia NIR someday so that we can find them all 😠

A meme of a beast (labelled Gaia DR4) coming after sheep in a medieval-horror scene. The sheep are labelled "all the open clusters that our galaxy keeps for itself". They are protected by a sheepdog labelled "dust".

Workflow for 90% of astronomy papers: fit model -> make corner plot -> publish paper -> repeat

A meme showing a skeleton lifting weights. The caption reads: emcee is a machine that turns CPU time into corner plots.

It's not about how close we are, Hyades. It's about your total integrated flux. It just doesn't compare. 🫤

A meme. The upper panel shows two people kissing, labelled as "Mayan religion 2 millennia ago" and " the Pleiades." The lower panel shows someone in the distance looking left out, labelled as "the Hyades".

here at starcluster.meme, we have your meme requests covered! 🫠

The same hierarchy meme, but now a "2025 special edition" with the following new lower needs: actual long-term career prospects, a job with a living wage, and not having to live through *points around at everything*

originally I made a serious version of this meme, which I'm non-ironically gonna use in talks now

A meme based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but for star clusters. The basic levels are: photometric and astrometric data, cluster catalogues, cluster parameters, spectra/abundances, and hydro/n-body simulations

happy April fool's, this meme account is now about cloud security! open clusters (of servers) are bad. make sure to protect them with a firewall!

A meme, showing two people doing a sort of warrior-like handshake/embrace thing I can't remember the name of. One person is labelled "astronomers", the other is labelled "cloud security teams." Where their hands embrace (the 'common goal') is labelled "Trying to find all the open clusters".

Life pro tip: when you're born, try to be at least 500 solar masses, else you risk getting blown away by stellar winds just a few million years later 😔

A meme showing a person fading away, captioned "Low-mass clusters after feedback."

What the molecular clouds giveth, the molecular clouds taketh away

A scene from a Marvel movie. An evil character labelled "High-Mass open clusters" is labelled saying "You can't defeat me!". But another character - Spiral Arm Potential - says "I know, but he can." The bottom panel shows a massive being known as Giant Molecular Clouds smashing in to the scene, presumably to defeat High mass open clusters.

we still love them even if they don't live up to astronomical beauty standards

A meme of a dog standing precariously on four beer cans. The dog is labelled with a statement: "Open clusters look as cool as other objects in astronomy." However, the dog's feet are placed precariously on beer cans labelled "the Pleiades", "the Trapezium cluster", "Yet another picture of the Pleiades", and "that one in the Orion nebula... oh shit that's just the Trapezium cluster again."

Double stars are trouble stars 👿 ... unless you find them in your cluster and calculate their mass ratio 😇 (✨ submission by Sagar Malhotra ✨)
