Every year there's always one hen who goes and hides in the barn and makes her own nest in September, which is rather late for chicks in Saskatchewan. This particular mama did this last year too. I was going to see how many eggs she's sitting on, but I forgot that she's kind o…
Draft sent to university reader #1! Time to close my computer and walk away (until seventy zoom meetings all day tomorrow)
Also writing an entire book sounds a lot more enjoyable after going through that slog (which is not done, but the rest is editing which is far, far easier than getting those first words put together)
I THINK IT'S DONE!! (Ok fine I skipped the references, but that's easy to mindlessly reformat during zoom meetings and doesn't need to be in the draft I turn in).
Time to go snuggle some goats, eat some dinner, and then proofread and send…
Every time I write a literature review or introduction to a paper on satellite pollution, even though I KNOW, I am again shocked by how incredibly bad the situation in Low Earth Orbit is.... going to need to take a walk/hayfield-rage-screa…
Oh gosh why did I save the literature review section for last? I'm soooo clooooose to being dooooonnnnneeee
It worked! 60MB! Still kinda big for just slides, a couple of simulation movies, and audio, but acceptably big.
And just to spite the university's bad choices with Zoom, I embedded it with a moodle video rather than using Zoom like I'm s…
oooo my computer sounds like it's about to take off.... oh no....
Oof I did not have OBS configured correctly and my 30 minute lecture video was 1.5 GB. Oops. Hopefully ffmpeg to the rescue? (At least, I will try some random ffmpeg things and see if I can make it smaller)
He also points out that identifying streaks, removing the bad data, that takes time and effort. That time and effort cost ALSO needs to be accounted for.
This is exactly the problem I run into: I keep being asked "How much data are you …
Alejandro Borlaff has entered the discussion, to remind everyone that the satellite streaks are also visible in space telescopes, and not only that, each lost pixel costs WAY more money than for ground-based telescopes. https://iopscience…
So, what Olivier is starting to try to do is put a price on the data loss. This is smart! But hard. He's got the first steps (quantifying potential losses and how much telescope time costs for ESO) very well laid out in his most recent p…

About
Professor of astronomy, farmer of goats. Asteroid (42910). She/her.
Living and learning on the land and under the skies of Treaty 4 (Saskatchewan, Canada).
Thanks to Saskatchewan's beautiful night sky, my research background in small body orbital dynamics, and a couple of really unfortunately placed SpaceX reentries, I spend a lot of time yelling about satellite pollution in international news media.
