My therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

Yellow oriole

A yellow oriole collects material for its (Easter) nest, hoping for some (chocolate) eggs, in Tayrona National Park, Colombia.

Happy Easter to you all if that is your thing! Otherwise, happy #SilentSunday!

Supernova are such energetic events they often outshine their host galaxy.

See if you can spot the supernova that happened in M101 in 2011 in the image on the left. An image of M101 without the supernova is on the right.

A paper published last week in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society presents a curated list of 45 rocky exoplanets in the habitable zone of their stars. This is not just another catalog; it is one of the first systematically prioritized shortlists, shifting the focus of planetary science from raw discovery toward strategic prioritization.
