Last week, the NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory released its First Look images, including stunning views of the Trifid and Lagoon nebulae, an astounding Cosmic Treasure Chest of stars and galaxies, and a "swarm" of newly discovered asteroids. Captured in a mere ten hours of observing time, this preview gave us a taste of what is to come for the groundbreaking observatory. As the press release states, "Rubin’s innovative 8.4-meter telescope has the largest digital camera ever built, which feeds a powerful data processing system. Later in 2025, Rubin will begin its primary mission, the Legacy ...

Today's planetarium has an image problem, somewhat ironically since its main product is producing images of the starry heavens. Let's discuss and see what can be done about it!

If you find yourself peering up at the sky as a plane roars past, there is a good chance you have caught the aviation bug and are fascinated by anything that flies. The Student Pilot Manual provides the perfect foundation for aspiring pilots to take the next step on their aviation journey. Volume 1 of this series contains three important topics that all pilots must master: Aerodynamics explores the forces pushing and pulling on a plane during a flight. Pilots have plenty of control over some of these forces, but they can suddenly vanish if the plane is not flown correctly, causing it to ...
