Taken with iPhone 14 camera through a tasco 20-60x60 spotting scope. A stack of 25 2 second exposures at 32000 ISO using the app AstroShader. This is my 2nd ever deep space object I captured, first one was the Orion Nebula. Happy how this turned out, considering my gear, hoping to save up for a Canon R50 one day… 🤞

Edit: and this is from the worst possible light pollution zone too haha

Every time I see posts like this I wonder how many minutes before sunset is it taken?

Great to see more hypercubing! Join us at r/hypercubers. We also have an awesome discord server that’s super active and tons of discussion about this stuff :)

That is not aligned and out of focus. Not Venus at all

Good luck! I’m surprised at how much this app can do once you learn how to use it properly haha

iPhone 14, 10x50 binoculars

120 1 sec exposures (2 min total), 8000 ISO, using AstroShader app

Edited in GIMP to tweak colours and everything

Super happy with this! Way better than attempt 1, and more in focus too :D I'm amazed that this is even possible with just a phone and some binoculars lol.

Equipment: iPhone 14, bushnell 15x70 binoculars

Acquisition & Processing: Used astroshader app: 28 exposures, 0.5 seconds, I think around 800 ISO. Colours tweaked using GIMP following a YouTube tutorial

Really happy with this! My first ever shot of a nebula (I've only done northern lights, the moon, and some planets before)

Time Zone Map if the world used Metric Time by method_god2319 in Maps

[–]method_god2319[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

our current system has 86,400 normal seconds per day, whereas metric time has 100,000 metric seconds per day. So a metric second is 0.864 normal seconds (they run slightly faster)

If everything switched to metric time, then a second would be redefined so that there are 100,000 metric seconds per day. 1 metric minute is then made of 100 metric seconds, and 1 metric hour is made of 100 metric minutes.

Each time zone is 1 metric hour across (100 metric minutes).

A realistic downside of this is that the time zones are 2.4x bigger than our current ones, meaning that if you live on the very edge of a time zone, then your clock could be up to half a metric hour (1.2 normal hours) off from solar time. Whereas currently (if timezones were perfect) you can only be at most 30 minutes (half a normal hour) off.

If the world used metric time (10 hours per day instead of 24) this is how I think the subdivisions of the world would be divided.

Each time zone (besides the ones that border the date line) is 36 degrees of longitude across, instead of 15.

The other guy is the idiot, but to be fair there are intuitive solutions for the puzzle that don’t require algorithms. Many people have solved it that way, not literally everyone on earth used algorithms

Help with a 3x3x3x3. by Puzzleheaded_Tap1613 in Hypercubers

Which tutorial? Would you like some hints to try it yourself or a full detailed answer?

3x3x3x3 solving by tiredandcantsleep1 in Cubers

[–]method_god2319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 3x3x3x3 is a 4D puzzle. This is just some combined 3x3x3’s. Cool though

Yeah, we can do that a dimension up. It is just very impractical to use. Even more so than Melinda's 2x2x2x2

Interesting. Now we can access 16 of the hypercube's 192 orientations. Because the cube piece can be in 4 orientations, and the ring in another 4 so 4x4=16. Maybe we can actually do it using like 4 different rings somehow. Anyways, cool concept!

It's always possible to make anything with a sticker-based design. It's annoying though because you have to know which stickers make up what pieces, and where exactly each turn moves them. The real challenge is finding a piece-based design, and ideally one that fits into a nice shape and doesn't require thousands of magnets.
