Physics Photo Of the Day:

Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn, shown in Dahlem, 1913.

Lise Meitner was a pioneering nuclear physicist who made key contributions to the discovery of nuclear fission. She worked with Otto Hahn and discovered that fission could be achieved by bombarding uranium with slow neutrons, a key factor in the development of the atomic bomb.

On Valentine’s Day 2023, the Moon will occult Dschubba!

This love story was written in the stars. Literally!💫
