Project mention: [R] Astronomia ex machina: a history, primer and outlook on neural networks in astronomy | /r/MachineLearning | 2023-05-31

Processing a single APOD is one thing, but the end goal is to process all of them. The cleanest way to group batches of days was by month. As the apod-api supports start_date and end_date parameters to support this, I just used the first and last days of the month for these parameters.

asdf
ASDF (Advanced Scientific Data Format) is a next generation interchange format for scientific data (by asdf-format)

pycbc
Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ongoing analysis of LIGO/Virgo data.
-
The first I encountered was GalSim. As it turned out the GitHub link included in the distribution was incorrect and that's why PyDigger reported it as having GitHub link but not CI on GitHub. So I sent a Pull-Request fixing that.

landsat8image
A simple python script that, given a location and a date, uses the Nasa Earth API to show a photo taken by the Landsat 8 satellite. The script must be executed on the command-line.

ha_skyfield
See the apparent positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets in this home assistant custom component
Sweet, very nice.
I made a 'skyfield' widget for home assistant that shows the current position of the sun, moon and some planets as well as the summer and winter solstice paths. I really think it would be awesome for an e-ink display in the home. I've been planning to kick off that project at some point. This is inspiring.

Project mention: Need Help Interpreting H-line 3D Corner Antenna Signal | /r/radioastronomy | 2023-05-24
You'll find the H-line-software on : github.com/byggemandboesen/H-line-software. There is a requirements.txt file which will install the necessary Python packages. Python3 is afaik also available on github. But you can just google 'Python3 download'.

Project mention: NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test Is a Smashing Success | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-14
Hi, I work on N-body orbit determination software for asteroid detection and planetary defense (for example, https://github.com/moeyensj/thor). Ask me anything.
You're right that orbit determination is unstable over long runs, and very sensitive to initial conditions. But the good news is that the solar system is big. Most trajectories do not intersect with the earth's location. So perturbing an orbit that we think has a small chance of hitting us tends to be safe.
Also, of course, after deflection, any object is going to be monitored really closely for a long time.

Luminet
This repo provides material for recreating the famous paper by Jean-Pierre Luminet (1979), simulating the first image of a Schwarzschild black hole.
Project mention: A black hole created in Python! This is what the accretion disk looks like as it orbits a neutrally charged, static black hole | /r/DataArt | 2022-06-05You can find the repo at https://github.com/bgmeulem/Luminet
