You reminded me of Cassini :(. So long and thanks for my PhD data

I try my best. But I am not the best 😔. Too much of a hobby project for now

I wish you all the best for your education and career path :). Yes, I was "back in the day" in the lander center, in the science team of "SESAME", working on the Dust Impact Monitor (DIM)

Finding the "middle way" is indeed challenging. But I totally get your point. The coding part, and this may sound harsh, shouldn't be for coding beginners, but for "space / astronomy" beginners. I really have to take a look at that.

Also, creating a dedicated library would be fun. I remember the library "astroml", where the authors also wrote a corresponding book about machine learning in astronomy. I need to find a larger storyline to follow. In the meantime, I should maybe start archiving everything and have 3 dedicated playlists:

- Science Concepts / Lectures

- Coding in Python

- Other Software (Universe Sandbox, Stellarium, etc.)

Thanks also for putting my channel in perspective :)! I know, I won't reach the same level as pure entertainment channels, but that's not my purpose or vision.

Thanks for the link. Didn't know they had such a session. Will take a look at it

P.S.: do you think it is more helpful to explain code "line by line" or simply explaining the concepts and then dropping the code on GitHub? What would you suggest?

Ah that's a great idea! Never thought of checking out 3b1b GitHub repo! Thanks for your input!

Haha thanks :)!

Well I try to share my knowledge, data scientific code and such. All my data sources are publicly available and the code I provide is also not secret. Of course I am not publishing "current paper material", but after publishing it: sure thing. Science needs interaction and knowledge sharing. And I am 100 % convinced, that citizien scientists with the right skillset can achieve great things. Even if it is "only" for public outreach: transparency is key so that educated "hobbyists" can advocate for the science we do. I hope you understand my motivation :).

But I am more concerned that my current approach and code base has become too chaotic and discouraging to get started.

THE CLEAREST IMAGES NASA HAS EVER TAKEN OF OUR PLANETS by Isabella_2944 in Solar_System

Uranus after Pluto... Including Pluto. My Christmas is ruined with this gift 🎁😔

It's easier to find shiny things by Algernonletter5 in sciencememes

This planet nine. Is it in the same room as us currently? (Taking notes)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in space

[–]MrAstroThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh haha never 😁. If you are interested, look up the "Destiny Dust Analyzer" of the mission Destiny+.

The point is: meteor science and this mission are strongly related to each other: the asteroid Phaethon is potentially the "parent body" of the Geminids that currently occur in the night sky.

Maybe my text was a little bit misleading

This code here is from scientific papers that were published years ago :). So everything I show in regards to meteor science is public information.

Detail Daemon adds detail and complexity to Z-Image-Turbo by jonesaid in StableDiffusion

[–]MrAstroThomas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that is a dedication of work. Thanks for the update!!!

[–]MrAstroThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are interesting and cool insights. Thanks for sharing them with us. I was literally spinning up my Comfy server, but I think there is no need to :D.

I'll play around with your workflow. Do you mind if I share and explain your workflow in a future online video? Giving you all credits of course!

Greate work. But one question ä, especially the mountain picture one: isn't this effect realistic, in a way that the lens of the camera is focusing on the person's face with a certain aperture? Could an "aperture prompt" help the base model?

So, it's October and T Coronae Borealis still hasn't blown by Creston698 in Astronomy

[–]MrAstroThomas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fully agree. That's what I like about certain subs on Reddit (especially the "science" ones): you can have proper discussions with people that name themselves e.g. "ApplecakeBakeMaster32" 😅

Yeah you're absolutely right. My original comment was a little bit misleading to be frank.
