The reason I am in Argentina

More info here: https://congresos.unlp.edu.ar/astralx/

I'm really excited to teach here - I wanted to do one of the capacity building workshops for a while.

Message from the International Astronomical Union #IAU:

IAU Hands-On Workshops - Call for Proposals for Workshops in 2026

The IAU calls for applications to organize workshops under the IAU Hands-On Workshops (I-HOW) initiative. These workshops aim at training early-career scientists from developing countries in accessing, reducing, and analysing the vast amount of data available in astronomical archives across the world, and using them for their research projects. Proposals to organise one of these workshops shall be submitted using the application form provided on the website by email to one of the members of the I-HOW Steering Committee.

The deadline for applications is December 31, 2025.

More information on the characteristics of the initiative, the procedure and selection criteria for workshops, and a link to the application form are available at: https://www.iau.org/Iau/Iau/Science/Trainings---Workshops/I-HOW-Hands-On-Workshops.aspx

Scientists work to prevent interplanetary pollution that could pose a threat to life on Earth

https://phys.org/news/2023-07-scientists-interplanetary-pollution-pose-threat.html

"Imagine robotic rovers taking soil samples on the surface of Mars, looking for evidence of past life and instead finding bacteria that had traveled all the way from Earth: the impact on subsequent research would be incalculable."

Talking at the 5th Symposium for small satellite systems of #COSPAR was fun.
I made lots of new connections and hopefully we will end up with new collaborations for our #Foresail-2 project.

Clear tonight!

Cams are set up for satellite photos as soon as it gets dark enough.

In other news, I got assigned COSPAR ID 7099 for my ground station! Woo. That gets used in stvid IOD output for the station number.

Image processing tonight is going to use different TLE sources for Oneweb and Starlink sats, which should be more accurate.

Also working on a stvid color theme that is colorblind friendly.
