"A Moment with the Moon" picture, aken by the Artemis II crew at 2:19 p.m. EDT.
Recreation of "A Moment with the Moon" in Gaia Sky.
I liked this #ArtemisII picture of the Moon so much, that I tried to recreate it in #GaiaSky.
Left is the real picture, right is Gaia Sky.

Been working on a dataset to add some detail to the rings of Saturn in the form of particles. I'm quite happy with the result, especially the performance. The video shows 1.5 million rock/dust particles. Transitions to/from the ring model are quite seamless.

I've been plyaing around with the keyframes system in #GaiaSky and the OptFlowCam export method. After some bug-fixing, it produces very good results. It works best in a "points of interest" workflow. The following video is exported from only 25 keyframes.

Asteroids, other SSOs, and particle sets in general will get a much needed improvement in visual fidelity in #GaiaSky 3.7.2. We can now shade them (kind of) realistically while maintaining the high frame rate. In the video, we show the ~150.000 asteroids in Gaia DR3.

Gaia Sky showing Simplified Chinese object names
Working with a contributor on the Simplified Chinese translation of #GaiaSky. This requires some re-engineering in the UI system, but we're getting there.

Gaia Sky running on an RTX laptop, showing 743 FPS.
I just got a new laptop for our VR demonstrations with an RTX 5080 16GB. With base #GaiaSky and default datasets, it's getting over 700 FPS. Let's see how it does with VR😅

New Gaia Sky documentation theme
📖 We have updated the #GaiaSky documentation with a new theme and we've done a little bit of restructuring. It should flow better and look cleaner now. Give it a try!

The Valve Index in its box ready to test.
Today is testing day, so it's time to dust off the Valve Index and see how much VR on Linux has improved since the last time I tried (it was underwhelming). With the Steam Frame on the horizon, I'm kind of excited to see the progress.

🚀 Gaia Sky server is BACK!
After a few months of downtime, our main server is once again accessible from the outside. You can now access installers, datasets, and documentation.
Thank you for your patience during the downtime.

The galaxy generation system working on macOS via a CPU fallback.
Even though macOS does not support OpenGL 4.3, the new procedural galaxy generation in #GaiaSky will also work on these systems via a fallback option to CPU processing. It is (just a bit) slower than the GPU version, but it works.

Galaxies generated with Gaia Sky with different morphologies.
I've been working on the procedural generation of galaxies in #GaiaSky for a while now. The system is already able to generate different morphologies, but I'm still tuning it.
Below is an example of 3 random galaxies for every Hubble sequence morphology.

I've been playing around with compute shaders to generate procedural galaxies in #GaiaSky on the fly. Still needs work, but it looks promising for populating distant galaxies. In the video, I spawned a galaxy next to the milky way, trying to mimic its structure with a few simple parameters. (1/3)

#GaiaSky 3.7.0 is out! If you are on macOS Tahoe, you need to update, as this fixes a bug that prevents the app from starting.
But there is much more to this release! Many new features and QoL improvements: gaiasky.space/news/2025/ga...

#Astronomy question: I'm wondering about two stars, WT 767 and 768, both in Indus (I believe, after checking #GaiaSky), and it looks to me as if they're barely a light-year from each other.
