From MilesCranmer https://twitter.com/MilesCranmer on Twitter: This is a nice package for making pyplot animations more intuitive: https://t.co/LM0DeXJ4V9 All you do is call "camera.snap()" every time you re-do the plot. https://twitter.com/MilesCranmer/status/1223215845377265665/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/62990 -

Bittersweet day. NASA says farewell to its Spitzer Space Telescope. We will miss you, @NASAspitzer. I just used images from this telescope to show the Crab Nebula expansion in my #PHYS3305 class. https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2020-01-30/nasa-spitzer-space-telescope-retires -

From coreyspowell https://twitter.com/coreyspowell on Twitter: This is the sharpest movie of the Sun ever made. Even at this fine resolution, the scale is enormous; each plasma cell here is about the size of Texas. https://www.nso.edu/telescopes/dkist/first-light-cropped-field-movie/ via @NatSolarObs https://twitter.com/coreyspowell/status/1222587352037691393/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/62963 -

"A Trip to the National Video Game Museum" Thanks to a visit from an old friend (now Prof. Katherine Rawlins at the University of Alaska in Anchorage), we discovered the existence of and visited the National Video game Museum (NVM) last weekend. It was awesome. It was a tour of the computers and games of my youth; a reminder of how I got â*¦ Continue reading "A Trip to … -
