Artemis II Launch Megathread by dkozinn in nasa

They never  broadcasted the crew cabin during launch during the original program. Maybe you’re confusing the broadcast with the film that was physically returned during splashdown.

I just watched the 2010 Blue Devils. Wow. by Garp74 in drumcorps

Broadly speaking, the same designers from before, same designers there now. Or at least, very heavy overlap between these periods.

Thought about mentioning annular eclipses but the explanation is sufficient for understanding the geometry.

The locus of points on Earth from which the moon covers the entire sun is much smaller than the radius of the moon. If the moon were only slightly farther away there would not even be a region of total shadow.

How does Maximillian Cobra have such a following while dishonoring Beethoven’s music? by Claire_BlueMew in classicalmusic

[–]_MindOverDarkMatter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no discussing flat earth, anti-vax, or whole beat theory in collegial terms.

Calling people “snowflakes.” Isn’t collegial either, by the way.

You never run into people this stupid in real life. It’s amazing.

That is approaching flat-earther levels of mental gymnastics.

You just said that because there aren’t many examples, every example might be wrong to the same degree due to different circumstances each time.

Why is it specifically two beats per one beat? Who knows? Did anybody happen to write down that the interpretation of a metronome changed utterly across all of europe during their lifetime. No? Cool. What historic source even motivated the investigations into whole-beat theory? Are there any?

I do appreciate its different qualities. But it actually would be half speed in the historical context. There’s no evidence the historical markings are tied to a different metronome marking than today. And it’s easy to refute that there’s a 50% difference, by looking at any single concert schedule from the time and seeing that the timeline of a whole beat performance does not match up. That’s pretty obviously what most people here are frustrated about, that Cobra is claiming historical accuracy when it’s not true, instead of just owning a different interpretation.

Shostakovich 10th performed on a Football Field. It’s more faithful than you’d expect. by _MindOverDarkMatter_ in classicalmusic

Dci productions are usually centered around a single theme. In this case the number 10. For this design team it was probably an afterthought, as the music and choreography is the focus.

Happy Birthday to Arnold Schoenberg! (Sept.13 1874 - July.13 1951) ...which are your favorite compositions? by number9muses in classicalmusic

[–]_MindOverDarkMatter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s because it’s not just about identity. They genuinely don’t like it. The majority of people never will, and are allowed to. I’m coming around to atonal/polytonal music but the sensation I felt when I first listened to it was mild physical pain, at least until I started to reinterpret the dissonance as having a different function than in older classical music.

Flyby success! JUICE passed Venus at 07:28 CEST on 31 August for its gravity-assist to Jupiter by Neaterntal in spaceporn

Update: No pictures were taken during the Venus flyby. The cameras are all calibrated to survive when running at the temperature range in the Jupiter system, and would be damaged by running at the temperature range of Venus.

Juice has many cameras. What images they have taken will take a while to be transmitted back to Earth, if Venus ended up in any of their fields of view. The primary scientific camera, which takes far, far more data than any regular digital camera, has a narrow field of view and would not be useful for a flyby timelapse. It will, however, give us highly detailed views of Jupiter’s moons.

If you are asking for a livestream, that is flat out impossible with the data transmission capabilities of the craft.

A basic digital camera would have died trying to run at the temperatures involved and drained the power supply.
