I am looking at Solar Dynamics Observatory images. During the year does the earth (and earth based telescopes) move above and below the ecliptic? Does the sub earth point of the visible center of the sun change in solar latitude during the year? ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Yes, the Earth does move slightly above and below

I work on gravitational wave detection and imaging for fun. I studied physics and astrophysics at several universities, but then worked in international development and computer systems for organizations to make a living. I studied statistical mechanics and thermodynamics at UT Austin in the 1970s when Ilya Prigogine and Bryce DeWitt and Madame DeWitt were

“Papers and grants” at global Internet scale is not a fair and open system. It is not a fair and open marketplace. There is no fair review process. There is no oversight. There is no recourse when big bullies beat up little people. You are asking the wrong question and glorifying competition, when the really

AIs must screened for the tasks and jobs as critically and carefully as humans applicants. None of the AIs is certified at grade school level. All of them make mistakes with arithmetic and calculating with numbers. They do not understand units and dimension, scale and numeric values. They have no button “always check your work

NanoWorkers and lossless high bandwidth human-computer and human-human interfaces People are already making MEMS devices and very tiny robots for micro and nano manipulations. Ones for working inside cells. Also human computer interface bandwidth can be increased considerably now. It is just a matter of doing it. I count that in projections for Internet bandwidth

Global Open Resources in a Global Open Internet that humans can understand and use easily Rather than a video that controls the view, I would rather have online 3D volumetric tools so the 5.4 Billion humans using the Internet can look where and how they want. Including writing new filters and display choices, models and

How do I match up your image with ones from public sources? Here is a GONG H-alpha from Cerro Tololo (CHL) for 2024-10-25 13:38:42Z. Is is possible to match images from different places on earth and compare them? https://gong2.nso.edu/HA/hag/202410/20241025/20241025133842Ch.jpg Here is the page I found by searching “live H alpha images of the sun”.

It is possible, but it requires cooperative encoding of all content on the Internet. That will take about 15 years. The APIs are too narrowly defined and none

And no shared raw data or videos. I have always hated ‘astronomers’ who say “look what I can do and you cannot afford”. When I was little I had people who
