The total solar eclipse of August 11, 1999, stands as one of the most significant astronomical events in recent history, traversing a densely populated path across Europe and Asia. This celestial phenomenon occurred when the Moon perfectly aligned between the Earth and the Sun, casting a lunar shadow that resulted in a period of totality for millions of observers. Such events provide critical opportunities for heliophysicists to study the solar corona, the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere, which is typically obscured by the photosphere’s brilliance. Understanding the orbital mechanics and atmospheric impacts of these syzygies remains a cornerstone of modern observational astronomy. #SolarEclipse #Astronomy #Astrophysics #ScienceEducation

The ANDA-NI Retreat has begun, marking the third component of this year's Advanced Neural Data Analysis and Neuroinformatics programme. Nicholas A. Del Grosso and I are excited to kick off this closing project week together with a highly international crowd of dedicated participants.
Over the past weeks, participants worked through two online courses covering the mathematical foundations of neural data analysis (ANDA) and data management skills from neuroinformatics (NI). Now comes the part that matters just as much: applying that knowledge to real data, contributed by the participants themselves, and collaborating in small teams to tackle research questions.
Mastering the equations behind a technique is only half the job. The other half is developing an eye for data, learning to read what an analysis is actually telling you, spotting when something doesn't look right, and knowing how to embed and combine analysis methods into workflows that are reproducible and shareable with others. That's the skillset we're aiming to build this week.
Looking forward to an exciting and hands-on week ahead.

AI may accelerate some research tasks by an order of magnitude, but science is more than productivity.
Mentoring students, developing expertise and passing on scientific culture remain central to the research enterprise.

Coriolis Effect ✍️
It explains why objects moving across a rotating world seem to curve from their straight path, even when no visible force pushes them sideways. Imagine throwing a ball straight across a spinning merry-go-round. To someone standing still outside, the ball travels in a straight line. But to someone riding the spinning platform, the ball appears to bend away from its path.
The same thing happens on Earth because our planet is constantly rotating beneath everything that moves. Air currents, ocean flows, and even long-range projectiles travel over a surface that is turning while they move. This creates the illusion of a sideways force, known as the Coriolis effect.
In the Northern Hemisphere, moving objects appear to bend to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere they bend to the left. The effect grows stronger over larger distances and faster motions, but becomes almost unnoticeable in small, everyday movements.
Scientists use this effect to understand the spinning of hurricanes, the paths of trade winds, and the circulation of oceans. It reveals that motion is not always as simple as it seems when the ground beneath us is constantly in motion itself.

So Astrofest is done and dusted for another year. For the first time since the early 2000s (when we did model rocket displays) we were volunteers. This time we were running one of the telescope pods - the Smart Telescope pod, which, unlike the other pods, was not limited to a single target. We were all over the sky, making the most of the ease of control and versatility of these fun devices.
@leece and I had three DwarfIIs, there was a pair of Seestar S50s, a Unistellar EVScopeII, and even a Vaonis Vespera II (which is a work of art, as well as being a stunning telescope).
We even had someone doing it oldschool with a guide mount and a DSLR with a very beefy lens!
We started the afternoon with sun and moon viewing - made challenging with the sunlight on our screens. After, one of the S50s continued with the moon for the rest of the night, while the rest of us went on to other targets, including 47 Tucanae, the Cat's Paw Nebula, C65 (The Sculptor Galaxy), The Lagoon Nebula, the SMC, the LMC, and even a random star that someone had the coordinates for tattooed on their arm!
We were on our feet pretty much from 2:30 when we set up to 10:30 when we finally departed, and talked to the public almost non-stop from about 4pm. We answered questions about what these weird looking devices were, and why people were not looking through them, what they could do, how much they cost, and which were the best. This last one was a tough one, as we own one brand, and there was another brand in the same price bracket right next to us :) We were fair, though, and highlighted the pluses and minuses of each. And explaining, many times, that we were not selling them.
Early in the evening Leece did duck off to watch the Astrophotography competition awards, as she had been shortlisted. And, to her surprise, she had just sat down when they announced the winner for the Night Sky Friendly Lighting category - with her image of the rising galactic core over a resort near Bindoon taking the prize!
It was a fantastic, if exhausting experience, and one we look forward to repeating in Feb 2026.
