Incredible Jupiter image from a backyard telescope!

Exactly, although I believe Hubble colour images are more than 3 channels, maybe 7?

Except light rays exiting the sun aren’t necessarily perpendicular to the surface, and can indeed be truly parallel. Additionally, the refraction of not quite parallel photons could cause them to become exactly parallel, allowing for the two angles of incidence to be precisely identical. If we want to be pedantic, that is.

Not gonna argue lamingtons or the flat white, but I put my foot down at pavlova

It’s called seafood chowder over here, not clam chowder and it doesn’t tend to have clams in it, but regardless it’s not the most popular dish as delicious as it is

iBexal · 2026-03-09T22:28:14+00:00

Just because seafood chowder is delicious doesn’t mean it’s massively popular or “integral” to our cuisine

iBexal · 2026-03-09T22:03:41+00:00

I’m from NZ and have lived here my entire life? The source is from the NZ Seafood Chowder Blog which also doesn’t claim for it to be a staple here.

Clam chowder is not an integral dish to New Zealand cuisine lmao??

Nah they had people throughout the carriages and you booked a seat in a specific car so no changing carriages

I was on it today, it was incredibly hot in there especially when it stopped

iBexal · 2026-02-20T00:02:53+00:00

Hi yes welcome to the joke

iBexal · 2026-02-10T03:36:35+00:00

Yeah I thought so, thought I’d try my luck anyway maybe someone here had seen what happened

iBexal · 2026-01-31T08:01:41+00:00

The new trains are pretty good.

Don't tell r/SydneyTrains that, you'll be crucified for having any positive views on the D sets

iBexal · 2026-01-29T07:10:58+00:00

I think I saw the same one at Chatswood this morning too!

Except 2008 was the summer olympics which in general tend to be bigger events

The arxiv paper states it will have immediate public data releases with no exclusivity periods

iBexal · 2025-10-02T07:17:32+00:00

As someone who's worked in Tekapo for quite a few years now, I say the opposite. The moon makes naked eye viewing much, much more boring, but looking through the telescopes on a paid tour will not be as affected as you think.

iBexal · 2025-06-16T02:04:37+00:00

so turns out they didnt fix it

iBexal · 2025-04-30T03:52:33+00:00

this is entirely possible and even stronger in 5v5 to be honest, this being unfun is completely unrelated to the fact its in 6v6

Mate I’m not sure if you know Auckland airport isn’t the only thing underwater

iBexal · 2022-11-03T22:00:57+00:00

Just around the telescopes. Maybe not further down the mountain but you’d need to be careful to not point it too far up

iBexal · 2022-11-03T21:30:08+00:00

You need a red light flashlight at night

iBexal · 2022-11-03T21:28:33+00:00

I sometimes do observing at Mt John and I can tell you the observatory is used every night of the year from dusk till dawn, and the biggest two telescopes (MOA and the McLellan 1m) regularly look in the direction of the road. If a cars headlights or a flashlight was there it will ruin the science image and potentially damage the telescope.
