  1. The four Artemis II astronauts just set a record for human distance from Earth, 400.000 km. This also explains why "service" missions to #ESAEuclid, #JWST, or #ESAGaia are unlikely (and currently impossible): their location at the Sun-Earth L2-point is ~1.5 million km from here.

  5. Coming Monday (31. July) we will declare "First Light" for #ESAEuclid 🛰️ and show the first engineering images that the #VIS and #NISP instruments 📷 have taken of the sky, using a fully focussed telescope! 🔭

    Yay! 🥳

    That said, #Euclid has now also arrived at its ultimate distance from Earth, circling around the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2 😎🌏🛰️ - joining #ESAGaia and #JWST:

  6. Happy after showing how real-time exploration of the Milky Way stars in an array cube of 7.3 TB can be done in a laptop with 8 GB RAM and 15 GB of free disk space thanks to #ESAGaia data and the magic of #compression via #Blosc2. Also shown how #Btune helps immensely in determining the best combination of filters and codecs for achieving best #performance or cratio.
    Thanks to the attendees; it has been a great experience! #SciPy2023
