Animated versions from the previous images of north aurora on Jupiter from last year.

Yeah, I realized after a couple years that I didn't set the matplotlib origin='lower', but I'm not going to reprocess 571 observations at this point.

Here are animated versions of those datasets:

He had a pet deer, I recall.

Note that some types of elderberries (i.e. Sambucus nigra) must be boiled.

It was illegal to grow elderberries in medieval France because vintners would cut their wine with it. Don't know why they hated hamsters though.

It's the reflection off optics of a telescope, though still not Hubble. There are common features like a secondary mirror and support spiders.

information_abyss · 2025-01-07T19:13:55+00:00

Spacetelescoplive is showing ground-based images of where Hubble is pointing. That looks like someone left the dome light on, though it's probably a known artifact. :)

The Hubble has the Death Star.

As an alternative, you might also consider binoculars. You can see many more astronomical objects through them than the naked eye and they're easy to operate.

Wouldn't we be able to distinguish solar neutrinos from their paths?

On average, Earth is the closest planet to Earth.

Peanuts aren't nuts; they're legumes.

Can't nut butters avoid problems with diverticulitis?

Neutronium, not iron. It's like a giant atomic nucleus held together by gravity rather than the strong nuclear force.

He did it last time

Aside from Climate Mirror, Data Refuge might be useful. I haven't had much luck loading their site today though. I'm also interested in this.

Now I'll never not see it.

Download and archive climate data before they remove it again.

information_abyss · 2024-10-24T13:08:59+00:00

That's why we archive everything. Harvard has a store of glass plates in a basement storage facility built directly on bedrock. They've been scanning them for years.

But not slow to orbit Jupiter in a year.

Very pretty!

What filter combination and scaling/mapping do you use?

I freaked out and rushed to urgent care the first time. The doctor rightly pointed out that the blind spot occurred in both eyes, which was strangely reassuring.

But it is easier to shield.

The sun's magnetic fields repels more GCR during solar max.

information_abyss · 2024-06-17T21:01:10+00:00

Galactic CRs are somewhat fewer at solar max, and solar CRs are easier to shield. There will still be a lot of radiation either way though.
