The news I thought was neat:
The #UIS Observatory participates in the #GlobalMeteorNetwork (https://globalmeteornetwork.org/), running two nodes in "a #decentralized #science-grade instrument which observes the night sky every night of the year from as many locations around the world as possible."
During last week's #Geminid showers, 85 meteors were observed on campus, and 182 were seen at the off-campus #astronomy #research #observatory.
Neat visualization of the data too! #dataviz
