The concept for one of the BlueMUSE spectrographs. The image from the telescope is split into 16 separate slices and enters the spectrograph at the top left.

@durhamphysics.bsky.social is a major partner in @eso.org’s new BlueMUSE telescope instrument. BlueMUSE will help us see massive stars in the Milky Way and view the distant Universe 👉 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

Revealing dark matter’s influence on the Universe - Durham University

Our @durhamphysics.bsky.social astronomers have helped create the highest resolution map of the dark matter that threads through our Universe - showing the mysterious substance’s influence on the formation of stars, galaxies and planets. Discover more 👉 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

From @ifanghughes.bsky.social part of the @durhamqlm.bsky.social research section in the Department of Physics @durhamphysics.bsky.social @durham.ac.uk

The @durhamphysics.bsky.social now has an account here to tell you about the latest Physics research news @durham.ac.uk

Experts in our Department of Physics, led by Dr Simone Scaringi have discovered a mysterious bow shock wave around a dead star. With the source of this energy leak a mystery, the discovery could challenge understandings of star evolution. Read more 👉 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...
