And finally, something a bit more aggressive for @DXMacGuffin's #ProgTuesday:
#Allt: Echoes

I'm so pleased to have found this act in time for #ProgTuesday from @DXMacGuffin
Like a psychedelic Devin Townsend. I can't wait to hear more from Mothman and The Thunderbirds. The only way this could have been improved is with the use of live drums, but otherwise faultless.

We recently tested out the idea of doing #microlensing from #space using the #NASA #Kepler #telescope. Kepler has so far found thousands of #exoplanets but using the #TransitMethod, not microlensing. But in 2016, before it stopped working, it did a mini microlensing survey. Kepler wasn't designed to do microlensing and colleagues spent years developing a #DataReduction pipeline that would work. Then, my #postdoc Iain McDonald and I built a sophisticated pipeline to find #planet candidates (6/n)

One method is #microlensing. #Einstein in his #Theory of #GeneralRelativity predicted that light can be deflected by #gravity. Microlensing is a great way to find cool #planets that orbit further out from their #HostStar than those that can be seen with the #TransitMethod. We can spot a number of these #signals each year by monitoring hundreds of millions of #stars every 15 minutes or so for several months per year. That's a lot of #data to process, but #computers are fast these days. (3/n)

Currently we know of more than 5000 #exoplanets #discovered using a variety of techniques and survey instruments. So far most have been found using the #TransitMethod where we look for tiny dips in #starlight as one of its #planets passes in front of it. However this method tends to more easily pick out planets that are large (like #Jupiter) and close in to their #HostStar - making them #HotJupiters. We have no planets like that in our #SolarSystem, but there are other methods we can use. (2/n)
