Wow. Well deserved! I had the privilege to meet Avi at #HLF2022 and #HLF2023 . Interesting conversations; brilliant thinking. One of my favourites is his presentation on 'P vs. NP': youtube.com/watch?v=pTeZP-… #ACMTuringAward

In case you missed today's eclipse, there are always more to come (at least for the next few hundred million years).
Here's where the total eclipses will be for the next 100 years:

Ever seen a total solar #eclipse from space?

Here is our astronauts' view from the International Space Station

Another hike with former #SAPBW colleagues. This time around #Oftersheim . Always good for laughs and anecdotes.

Great visualization, eclipsed only by the rate increases!

Engineers have confirmed that corrupted memory aboard my twin #Voyager1 has been causing it to send unreadable data to Earth. It may take months, but our team is optimistic they can find a way for the FDS to operate normally again: go.nasa.gov/3vGOBhw

I've used the first 30 minutes of this presentation a number of times in #DW lectures. Really well done. Shows the technology and cost benefits of cloud storage: #AWS #S3 Deep Dive 2022. youtu.be/v3HfUNQ0JOE

I have written a short blog with a few photo about the event: tfxz.wordpress.com/2024/03/29/dig… BBC Digital Planet Somewhere on Earth Gareth_Mitchell Ghislaine Boddington Ania J Lichtarowicz Bill Thompson

At yesterday's 'Digital Planet Reunion' in a pub in London: me with @Gboddington, Ania J Lichtarowicz and @garethm. So happy I've finally met them after having listened to the BBC Digital Planet podcast for over a decade. Go for the revival podcast, check: somewhereonearth.co Somewhere on Earth

The world’s largest sundial: the Vrihat Samrat Yantra at Jantar Mantar in Jaipur (accurate to 2 seconds). The sundial is 27m high, and has an angle of 27 degrees - the latitude of Jaipur - which makes the hypotenuse approximately 10% longer than the base. What are their lengths?

Half way through my two DW courses at DHBW Karlsruhe. Both courses will tackle a mobile phone activity scenario for loading and analysis. kaggle.com/datasets/marco…

An update on my twin #Voyager1 : The team recently sent a 'poke' to prompt V1's flight data system (FDS) and received a signal that differed from past attempts. A DSN engineer helped decode this signal, which may contain clues to the source of the issue: go.nasa.gov/3RihsPR
