We are so fortunate having @chandraxray @NASAHubble @ESAHerschel @Planck @NASAspitzer & others exploring the Universe around us x.com/chandraxray/status/879…

Right #now Chandra is studying the 1st quasar ever discovered. 3C273 is about 3 billion light years away in #Virgo. #Today's Obs: 8hr 20min

The Universe being 8 years older is the equivalent of a 55 year old person being 1 second older. Not a lot in the grand scheme of things!

Can't believe @ESAHerschel and I were launched 8 years ago today. Seems like a long time. But the Universe is only 60 nano% older...

It's true, you can, courtesy of @astronomyblog and @chrisenorth. x.com/JenZomederis/status/84…

Cool! You can compute the #CMB power spectrum with different values of Matter, Dark Matter, and Dark Energy! chrisnorth.github.io/plancka… @Planck
