Artemis II sicher unterwegs.

Wenn alles gut läuft, bekommen wir ein schönes Bild mit Erde UND Mond drauf.

Ihr kennt mutmasslich alle das Bild „pale blut dot“*?
Und einige von euch kennen sicher auch die Geschichte dahinter.

*Das ist mir neben diversen Deep-Field-Bildern und den Golden Records eines der „wichtigsten“ Astronomie-Bilder. Oder der interessantesten. Oder wirkmächtigsten?

Today, in order to explain why ISDN was a big deal I had to explain dial up internet to a colleague. Which wasn't much of a suprise as she was born in the current century and hasn't got a single geeky bone in her body. It did make me feel old though.

Also: there must be a Carl Sagan apple pie/universe joke here somewhere, but my old fogged up brain can't seem find it. Feel free to make up one.

For the technically minded, the name for such numbers is 'normal numbers'. Not much is known about the relationship between the transcendentals and the normals, or even whether some common algebraics are normal.

So the thing about π at the end of Carl Sagan's Contact, if true, may be either profound or trivial.

These are the top 5 books I own that I really want to get around to reading.

5 Books I Own That I Need to Finally Read

They say buying books and reading books are different hobbies. If that’s true, then I indulge in both, and thus have a shelf full of books I fully intend to read. I even actually get around t…
