Physics + inventor siblings right here.
Did you know that Marvel Comics character, T'Challa, Black Panther alter ego, had a PhD in Physics? He was also deemed one of the top 5 geniuses by fellow physicist, Bruce Banner. We learned this from @ProfTSearles in his talk. Representation, even fictional, matters.

Today marks 2 years in space for #ParkerSolarProbe! This mission has gone faster & closer to the Sun than any other spacecraft — all to help scientists unravel the mysteries of our star and its effects on the solar system. Explore the first findings: go.nasa.gov/3a66s0u
So beautiful! 🤩
#HubbleFriday This Hubble image highlights the dwarf irregular galaxy KK 246 (or ESO 461-036), located in a region of mostly empty space 150 million light-years across called the Local Void. Other galaxies in the picture lie farther away, beyond the void: go.nasa.gov/3e4Xjre

Graduate school is definitely not about the money. But some of us absolutely love what we are able to do. #gradschool #physics #astronomy #gradstudent #gradstudentproblems #howwescience #memes #meme

Light travels slower in materials than it does in a vacuum. When a charged particle moves faster than light in a material, it emits Cherenkov radiation. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher… radiation #science #facts #light #sonic #meme #memes #radiation #cherenkov

As a neutron star accretes matter, the neutron star spin speeds up because of angular momentum conservation. This creates a millisecond pulsar. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill… #astronomy #physics #pulsar #rotation #milliseconds #meme #memes #spin #howwescience

In 1967, the US launched the Vela satellites meant to detect gamma ray radiation from nuclear weapon tests. They would see daily bursts of gamma rays... but not coming from Earth. Thus the only "reasonable" conclusion was that aliens were...

It has been 14 years since Pluto was classified as a dwarf planet because it has not "cleared the neighborhood around its orbit of other material". This has damaged the hearts of lovers of Pluto being the 9th planet in the solar system. Sometimes...

Dark matter doesn't seem to be want to be found. We hope one day we will find something! #physics #darkmatter #lotr #frodo #meme #memes #secrets #science #oneday #experiment #howwescience #humor ift.tt/3aplr6B
It be like it is. Either you found something interesting or your code is wrong. Probably the latter. #physics #astronomy #coding #advising #problems #howwescience #meme #gradschool #sweating #twitter ift.tt/39fXi12
Superluminal motion can be observed in the jets emanating from black holes. Don't worry, nothing is actually moves faster than the speed of light, it just "looks" like it does. ift.tt/2JgC74j #meme #thanos #astronomy #light #blackhole #motion #… ift.tt/3dzfHcj
We will now be posting some of our own astronomy/physics related memes! #memes #sad #astronomy #howwescience #physics #babyyoda #twitter ift.tt/39o470x
We miss being together! Before we were kicked out of our offices because of #covid_19 , one of center's student workers @chessmastersa started making personalized memes for anyone who asked nicely. Check out these cool ones she made for group members @da… ift.tt/2vBuTVs
