👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimage…

We're starry eyed! 🤩 The first full-color images from NASA Webb Telescope have been released. Which one is your favorite? #UnfoldTheUniverse here: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages

I usually enjoy smugly telling Unity devs that custom engines are better and they should really understand frustum culling anyway, but this latest round of Unity woes has me just feeling sad that a few megalomaniac capitalists can pointlessly destroy so much real human value

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Shadow acne off the shoulder of Jupiter... I watched Z-buffer failures glitter in the dark near the Marduk Condenser.

A space elevator on Mars would have to dodge Phobos AND Deimos, but we aren't going to worry about that for now...

Love the porta potties on the back of this tunnel boring machine.

Working on orbital rings and space elevators. The power satellites around Titan are all sending each other power which is not really ideal but looks neat.

I ended up re-implementing gmtime (and mktime) because Microsoft's implementation starts failing around 1000 years into the future. There are more corner cases than I would have expected, but on the upside I now know everything about the Gregorian calendar...

I really don’t care about the queen or whatever but when Sir David Attenborough dies I’m taking the day off and crying

Star trail photograph from my previous mission to the ishaan. This is a 28 minute time exposure composed of individual 30 second shots taken during orbital night. I call it "Purple Haze." #astrophotography can bring out the color in the universe like little else!

Zodiacal Light at orbital sunrise. This reel shows a sunrise from @ISS where the interplanetary dust in our solar system is seen as the zodiacal cloud.

Clouds based on outgoing longwave radiation data from NASA (sped up greatly). Data is low resolution so I added noise to break it up, hard to capture the varied look of the real thing
