Are the colours in astronomical images real? What do these colours mean? And what about images that aren't taken in visible light?
We get these questions all the time, so in the latest episode of Chasing Starlight we show you how these colourful images are made:

The Io Mission
A composite image of all the photos taken by NASA's Juno during its latest closest approaches to Io, the volcanic world of #Jupiter
Full size zoomable image 6556x5863: https://flic.kr/p/2pwCaWG
Worth zooming in above on Flickr, as the image is quite large, so that you can see all of Io's features for each flyby - on Mastodon the resolution is quite low.

If you prefer to read things instead of listening (as do I myself; not an audio person ... 😅 ), Physics World has now turned the podcast with me into a written interview:
▶️ https://physicsworld.com/a/victoria-grinberg-the-astrophysicist-sharing-her-love-for-science/
It's about my science, but also about all the things I do as a scientist that are not my science - climate crisis outreach and Astronomers for Planet Earth, my art and outreach in general.

I've seen several posts now on the theme of "astronomers are angry at StarLink".
The night sky belongs to EVERYONE. Not just astronomers. It's being taken away from all of us, and we should ALL be angry about it. #astronomy #astrodon
Want to know what my research is about? Follow this thread 🧵 based on a 10min talk I've drawn for a meeting.
The talk was aimed at non-specialist space science colleagues (not the general public!). The slides were built up step by step, but I'm omitting this here & showing only the final graphs, less this becomes a 34-part thread. 11 is plenty enough!
So: "Understanding Winds of Massive Stars Using High Mass X-ray Binaries"

With this portrait I wanted to have them approx. in scale, I've used a reference image to do so - don't expect 100% accuracy on that ;)
