Funded by @NASA, the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is the newest in a long line of satellites and space missions designed, built and operated at UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory (@ucbssl).

What a fun week of work with
@nshun_rowing (now affiliated at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan!)
We are making sure that we could get awesome Solar Science out of the observations in Gamma Rays from the COSI telescope, scheduled to launch next year 💪🫡✨☀️🛰️

Berkeley physicists helped turn a bold idea into IceCube, the Antarctic neutrino telescope central to Nobel Prize-winning science.

We are delighted to announce that the proceedings of IAU Symposium 400, “Solar and Stellar Multi-scale Activity,” are now available online on Cambridge Core:
Our heartfelt thanks to all authors, reviewers, editors, and participants for their contributions and dedication to bringing this volume to publication. It is a pleasure to share this lasting scientific outcome of our meeting in Medellín (2025). @astronomilo

Berkeley professor and SSL director from 1979-1985, Buford Price, collaborated with Francis Halzen on AMANDA (Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array). It later evolved into the IceCube experiment, which won Halzen the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics.
UC Berkeley helped make IceCube a success — earning Francis Halzen the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics. Berkeley physicist Buford Price was an early supporter of Halzen’s idea to detect high-energy neutrinos in Antarctic ice, helping turn the ambitious experiment into reality.

Liftoff for FOXSI-5! 🚀 ☀️
Launched from Alaska yesterday, the team successfully observed multiple solar flares erupting in real time. Their goal: study solar X-ray emissions to understand energy release & better protect our spacecraft, astronauts, and power grids.

また活動領域14432でフレアが起きましたが、C クラス止まりでした。
この領域は、少しエネルギーが溜まるとすぐに解放しているように見えます。

Great talk by @MattGialich founder and CEO of @AstroForge at SSL this afternoon. The conference room was standing room only as we all packed inside to learn more about DeepSpace-2 and its upcoming mission to land on an asteroid. 🙏 for flying up to the Bay to tell us about it.
