True shame.

Go on without us. We’re headed back to the Dark Ages.

NASA is kill. They had something like a 50% budget cut planned.

Equipped with functioning instruments and still transmitting data, New Horizons will provide scientists valuable insight into the edge of our solar system, helping us understand the transition zone between solar and interstellar environments.

I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be able to get a custom number plate of that star’s name.

freagle, 6 dni temu w Astronomy has a major data problem. Simulating realistic images of the sky can help train algorithms

Astronomy is constantly discovering never-befor observed phenomenon. The idea that you can simulate realistic images of anything requires you to have sufficient knowledge of reality, and astronomy keeps showing us that we don’t have that.

The only way I can see this being helpful is to train algorithms for what is already known and can be safely filtered out, making it easier to detect new observations

What kind of algorithms are those trains running?!

Make sure you check out the simulator webpage for some sweet old school design and a lot of neat pictures! I love a good simulation.

[…] only a few hundred of them have been detected in the local universe

Why haven’t they checked other universes?

Nice. It’s a huge cock and balls
