We have a big goal today... discuss Astronomy+AI(+humans) at #SXSW2026
We hope to touch on how astronomy big data can improve AI and vice-versa, how AI can help us make sense of our universe, our galaxy, our cosmic origins.
Join us at 4pm in Salon D!
#SXSW #Austin @CosmicAI_Inst
Now Vini Placco from @usngo is presenting how to use the Gemini DRAGONS data reduction pipeline directly from the @DataLabAstro platform!
#aas247
here's an example use case using @DataLabAstro and SPARCL to find and retrieve spectra of SDSS stars in bins of colors from red to blue (5s for 80 spectra; 90s for 4000 spectra!)
#aas247
Just got to present my "baby" (AKA software project) SPARCL = SPectra Analysis & Retrievable Catalog Lab

#aas247
Next, David Herrera is presenting on translating some @DataLabAstro Jupyter notebooks to Spanish!
#aas247

Brian Merino is now presenting results from the first ever @DataLabAstro user survey! Among some results, here's a glimpse of what users are requesting, such as interactive sky viewer and... moar data 😀
#aas247
will be sharing some @DataLabAstro #aas247 splinter session highlights!
The team works with survey PIs/teams to ingest new data and our database holdings are growing steadily by ~30 TB each year
#AAS247 just starting the @DataLabAstro splinter session in room 121 b now!! Celebrating our 8th year anniversary
Here's the exact DECaPS viewer location for this Halloween nebula 👻 : decaps.legacysurvey.org/view…
Fitting for Halloween, one of my NOIRLab colleagues spotted this ghostly nebula in the DECaPS (Dark Energy Camera Plane Survey) images.
@DataLabAstro serves the DECaPS catalogs as a searchable database: datalab.noirlab.edu/data/dec…
👻 Happy Halloween!

** STEPHEN HAWKING WAS RIGHT **
Using a very strong black-hole merger signal, the @LIGO-@ego_virgo-@KAGRA_PR Collaboration has shown the 2nd law of black hole mechanics, Hawking's area law (A_final > A_initial), to hold with high credibility.

Congrats to the @DESISurvey for winning the 2026 Berkeley Prize from the @aas_office 🏆
By creating the largest 3D map of the Universe with ~15 million galaxies, they found dark energy may be changing over time!

Due to popular demand, I've added a table of foundation models in astro to this blog post.
New blog post on the heels of our Foundation Models in Astronomy workshop at the CCA.

Today we say goodbye to ESA’s Milky Way-mapper Gaia! The @ESAGaia spacecraft has completed its sky-scanning and will be switched off this morning.

BOOM! What a beautiful #SolarFlare (just now). This eruptive event reached the X-class level, and produced this stunning coronal mass ejection. The flare source region will rotate to face Earth in the coming week. Further strong solar activity is likely! #spaceweather
