Elon Musk giving back the night sky to all humans, especially those in large cities – lossless too, for study

I heard that Elon Musk was going to put high resolution lossless format cameras on all his satellites — pointing at all part of the heavens, to give all humans a live stream of their part of the night sky. Thanks, Elon, for giving back the night sky. Two billion kids say thanks. @X,  Could

Electromagnetic, ionic, and gravitational effects of earthquakes and earth tides

Anton Petrov: Unexplained Earthquake Light Phenomenon Finally Captured on Camera at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05NmTEeXvhs Anton, This argues for keeping permanent all-sky (fish eye and other name) cameras to monitor the sky above regions where there are earthquakes, like where the earth is pulling apart. Beside piezoelectric, there are also piezomagnetic materials which will change the electromagnetic fields. The

Gravity images of the sun below the photosphere, Cameras and Memory Chips as gravitational detectors

Hi Athiray, I was just going to write you. I am reading about soft x-ray camera noise. “Performance characterization of UV science cameras developed for the Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter” And now reading “Modeling charge transport in Swept Charge Devices for X-ray spectroscopy” I have been tracking the solar imaging groups for several years, and slowly

Twitter – space and earth based time of flight correlation imaging arrays

Physical Review D @PhysRevD Jun 23 The space-based detector LISA @LISACommunity will search for gravitational waves using Time Delay Interferometry variables. A new Suggestion shows that different variable choices than are commonly studied can perform better in non-ideal conditions. #EdSugg https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.107.123531 Replying to @PhysRevD and @LISACommunity Please also look inside the sun, inside the earth,

Atacama: Teaching radio astronomy and science and measurement to students in nearby countries, should help all countries

Atacama Makers teaching radio astronomy and science and measurement to students in nearby countries https://almaobservatory.org/en/announcements/atacama-makers-innovating-from-the-schools-of-the-desert/ Valeria Foncea, I visited the Atacama Makers page.  It was very dissatisfying.  None of the pictures was explained. If you are helping one country’s children, but could post materials online for 5 billion Internet users, that is just sad if

The Efficient Engineer: Bolted Joints, accessible parts and components, heliospheric economics

The Efficient Engineer: The Incredible Strength of Bolted Joints at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLzTB4KLCxU The Efficient Engineer, If parts, components, systems, and supplies are not universally (globally) accessible and widely used, that imposes a high cost. You show Mars.  There, heavy bolts and Amazon overnight are likely not going to be available right away. The annual Earth budget is

Illinois Quantum: Quantum enhanced telescopes, quantum optics, quantum information

Illinois Quantum: Quantum-enhanced interferometric imaging at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thm-RNUAbT8 Brian J Smith, Right now, if you had enough money, or influence or charisma, you could set up imaging nodes all around Earth and in its orbits, around the Moon and Mars and have baselines that are precisely known and large enough for solar system sized baselines, eventually. And
