DES isn't all about the distant Universe, it does a pretty fine job in the Distant Solar system too. Congrats Julie… https://t.co/Sri5ooLeCD

The Dark Energy Survey

A poem to commemorate yesterday's big discovery:

Two neutron stars, both alike in degeneracy,
In fair NGC4993, where we lay our scene,
From ancient orbit break to new unity,
Where cosmic arms make cosmic stars combine,
From forth the starry skies of the Hydra Constellation
This pair of star-crossed crossing stars take their life;
Whose adventurous prodigious overthrows,
Do with their inspiral explode into gravitational and electromagnetic strife.
The fiery passage of their light-mark’d merger,
And the continuance of their emission of rays,
Which, but our telescopes worldwide, naught did intercept,
Is now the many weeks’ traffic of our gaze;
And if we with patient eyes attend,
What this time we missed, with the next event shall strive to mend.

(inspired by the Prologue of Romeo and Juliet)

Thanks to Rutuparna Das (University of Michigan) for today's DES thought for the day! #DEST4TD ... See MoreSee Less
