I GOT FEATURED ON APOD AGAIN??

🔭

im chopped

happy new year :]

My image processing was featured on NASA APOD today! I didn’t expect this

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26020...

"True" colors (albedo scaled and gamma corrected)

Enhanced colors (linear albedo scale with a factor of five)

Specular map of the lakes

I present three maps of Titan: one in visible "true" colors (albedo scaled and gamma corrected), one in enhanced colors (linear albedo scale with a factor of five), and one of the lakes. In this thread, I will briefly describe how the impenetrable haze was bypassed.

Processing this view was so, so difficult. A lot of warping to correct for rotation of Ganymede was required and some parts appear to be warped oddly. I maybe rushed it, and there are some deficiencies in the final image. But I'm still satisfied with the results.

Ganymede in 1979 from Voyager 2 (mosaic)
true color, processed from the raw data using @askaniy.bsky.social's TrueColorTools
I used 9 OGBV frames for this processing.
the edge of the disk is slightly cut off, so a small rendered view was inserted and spliced in.
manual processing took ~3.5 hours

hey is it okay if I drink all the milk in the fridge like I know it’s a whole gallon but im really thirsty

hi (2)

Today on arXiv: The recent JWST TRAPPIST-1 e papers.

They are somehow not even the biggest news in the list. Today's arXiv day's absolutely stacked.

its so over

如果我用中文而不是英文说我是同性恋，肯定没人会发现 Aware

So uh, there's a new interstellar object discovered at Chile yesterday. Name is A11pl3Z, has a hyperbolic trajectory of eccentricity 14±4 (WTF). Currently appmag 18, 4 AU away from Earth, and coming to 2 AU perihelion this October.

Observing it with remote scope rn, calling astronomers..

This is a picture of the Kuiper belt object 2013 CG269, as seen by the Subaru Telescope on 24 February 2017. It shows a zoomed-in patch of sky, peppered with fuzzy white dots and smudges against a gray, grainy background. The white dot at the lower right is circled and labeled "2013 CG269" in yellow. Coincidentally, there is an unknown faint moon of Jupiter right next to 2013 CG269. This unknown moon of Jupiter is the fainter white dot located left of center, circled and labeled "Jovian moon" in cyan.

A screenshot of a scientific paper titled "LIGHTCURVE AND ROTATION PERIOD OF 46925 BRADYHARAN" in bold. Below the bolded title are the authors, whose names from top to bottom are: Daniel P. Bamberger Sam Deen K. Ly (me!) Elvis Oliveira Mendes Arndt Schnabel Guy Wells To the right of the title and authors list are two rectangular plots with squiggly curves across them. The top right plot shows the brightness of asteroid 46925 Bradyharan over time, while the lower right plot shows the root-mean-square error (RMS error) of different rotation periods.

Hiya! Over the past few months I've been silently working on several astronomy projects. Here's what I've been up to lately! 🔭☄️🧪
1. I discovered a Kuiper belt object! (2013 CG269)
2. I'm coauthor of a brand new paper by @renerpho.bsky.social et al. on the rotation of asteroid Bradyharan!

Summer Eledeni - haven't had a lot of time to work on my worldbuilding projects, so here's filler content instead

quick doodle of iari from drehmal rekindled

**big sigh**

K2-18b DMS "detection" is probably the worst astro scicomm fuckup ive seen in the past couple years and thats really saying something

I’ve had a backlog of unlisted stuff on my YouTube channel for a while for personal reasons - most of it should be public now !

wooo arizona here I come

not to be mean but can avi loeb please shut up

the oreo is upside down in spirit

have you ever eaten an oreo upside down
