Continuing on the homelab series. I have to say, it is amazing what one can do with it. I knew I was going to automatize certain aspects of my life with it, be this is beyond what I was hoping. Let's start by going back to my document manager that I wrote about last year. In the meantime, especially in September, I kept on working on the UI for this document manager. Effectively making a FastAPI ...
The first image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was uncover a few days ago [1]. This is truely an incredible image, showing the galactic cluster SMACS 0723, which is slowly becoming the de-facto target for newly deployed space telescopes as it was imaged by Hubble, Planck and Chandra before JWST. This image in particular took the JWST 12.5 hours of exposure to be able to see these objec...
I was at AKL 22 a couple of weeks ago: the international laser technology congress at Aachen, Germany. I was present for the interesting technology conference and the live presentations at Fraunhofer ILT....
Time flies: we are already in May, and I haven't got time to even post these pictures in time......
I wrote last year about the effect of CME on the thermospheric density and what are the effects on satellites inside the thermosphere, typically at the altitude of the Starlink satellites. You can find this post here....
So this post is a simple shout-out to some other blog I discovered a few months ago. At the time, I was browsing hacker news and saw this post about optics. Great! I love hacker news for this. They mostly have posts about computers and programming but every now and then, there is a post about something totally unrelated, be it optics, physics, environment, etc... but always some quality content. T...
I have always been interested with optics and vision. My path led me to a more technological approach of optics, aka photonics, but I still am fascinated by the process of vision. How the image is formed in the eye, how it is interpreted in the brain and so on. This led me to learn a few things that apparently are not so well known about our own eyes. One of these things is the subject of this pos...
I know, this comet was seen 1 and a half year ago, but I didn't had a blog then, so I have to do it now......
