https://x.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1882723437590053099 The barriers to use any live or recorded raw data from observatories on the Internet are insurmountably high for everyone. A few 100 thousands insiders is not “everyone”, it is only a tiny fraction of the 8.2 Billion humans now. There are about 5.4 Billion humans using the Internet. About 2 Billions kids from

Many groups reaching towards each other but not filling all the gaps and not doing it for all humans Richard Collins: If one monitors the motion of an object in space, how does one determine if the motion is parabolic, elliptical or hyperbolic? Are there cases where that is difficult to determine? Assume perfect ability

@NatSolarObs and @AURADC and @NSF At https://nso.edu/data/nisp-data/h-alpha/ it says “There is no attempt to cross-compare images at different sites to provide higher accuracy at this time.” Is that still true? What is the full potential now if all countries and groups combine across all frequencies? Sharing lossless data, and global best practices

I do not see an obvious shared archive or mention of any long term sky camera and lossless image sharing mentioned. I worked at Georgetown University Center for Population Research and USAID for many years. GU was supposed to be founded by Jesuits, but I never met any. I grew up Catholic so your goals

https://x.com/Havenlust/status/1854750698769920469/photo/1 My comment: I love it as an evocative image. But I absolutely hate that you used a lossy format so I cannot study the pixels with deep algorithms I know and design. NONE of the colors will match the original. Because you let the bad jpeg algorithms chew up your raw sensor data and

Richard and OpenAI ChatGPT refine ideas related to sharing and using all data, forever [ full conversation at /?p=18322 ] Richard Collins: I am looking at some of the Rubin Observatory postings and sites on the Internet. It is ONE project but many fragmented sites, styles, purposes, methods and policies. What are

Rubin Observatory questions – Commissioning camera data sharing tests Can the 5.4 Billion Internet users download images from the test camera in raw format to test your Internet sharing methods and pathways? Where are the specifications for the test (“commissioning” ) camera? Specifications for the test survey? Do you have the data sharing plan during

It should be possible to form that into a single beam. Thanks for sharing. Controlling and shaping the near field to generate 2 meter or 20 meter long plasma channels It would need an additional array of charge and voltage nodes, sensors and machine intelligence algorithm. I am just saying it should be possible. My

@MAST_News Dear Barbara A Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes, I receive your newsletter because I am interested in MAST (Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes) But I do not know all your insider acronyms. There are about 5.4 Billion Internet users now, and most of them will not know either. Perhaps you can have a checkbox
