Some 13.8 billion years ago, the universe began in a big bang – or, at least, that is what we think happened. @SimonsObs astrophysicist Jo Dunkley (@j_dunkley) is leading efforts to work out exactly what took place in the immediate aftermath of that moment of cosmic creation. newscientist.com/article/mg2… #science #astrophysics

Why was the @SimonsObs built in the desert? Simons Observatory PI @briankeating explains why Chile was the perfect place for the observatory. #science #astrophysics #research simonsfoundation.org/2024/06…

They got the photo wrong, that’s ACT and Simons Array 🤷🏼♂️ here’s a modern photo of the @SimonsObs site. 📸 Rolando Dunner, @GabrieleCoppi, @FedericoNati, and Matias Rojas from our drone calibration team.

Tonight!! Come learn about the universe and say hi to a bunch of cosmologists, Chicago! 👋
8 Jul 2024
Our upcoming AoT will be a special event in which we partner with the scientists from Simons Observatory who have descended on Chicago for their annual collaboration meeting. Come learn about the Cosmic Microwave Background and the telescopes that can measure it! 🌠🌠🌠

Albert Einstein didn’t believe gravitational waves were detectable- even though be predicted them! I wonder what he would think of these Five new ways to catch gravitational waves — and the secrets they’ll reveal @Nature @SimonsObs nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Awesome. You only left out the out-of-this-world astronomy that takes place exclusive in Chile thanks to its unique geography 🇨🇱: @SimonsObs @ACT_Pol @CLASS_telescope

Chile is so long, it's curved
How long is it?
Why not longer?
Why no other country is as long?
How does that make Chileans incomprehensible?
A thread about Chile and its humongous length

Big Bang inflation? The new Simons Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert may soon answer a great scientific question: What happened in the tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang? @CornellPhysics @CornellCAS @NSF news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

🔭The hunt is on! With the completion of @SimonsObs, "we stand on the brink" of a discovery that could fundamentally change how we think about...everything. Read more about the observatory and the universe's oldest light:

The hunt is on. From a vantage point high in the Chilean Andes, cosmologists with the @SimonsObs have begun searching for evidence of what happened in the minuscule fraction of a second that followed the Big Bang.
