egg|nomz|egg changed the topic of #kspacademia to: https://gist.github.com/pdn4kd/164b9b85435d87afbec0c3a7e69d3e6d | Dogs are cats. Spiders are cat interferometers. | Космизм сегодня! | Document well, for tomorrow you may get mauled by a ネコバス. | <UmbralRaptor> egg|nomz|egg: generally if your eyes are dewing over, that's not the weather. | <ferram4> I shall beat my problems to death with an engineer.
<egg>
UmbralRaptop: yeah I've linked it here a while back I think
<egg>
or its arxiv equivalent perhaps
<UmbralRaptop>
Possibly
<B787_300>
UmbralRaptop: sure why not... it seems logical that you might be able to detect that
<egg>
B787_300: well, not with current opticks
<egg>
but in principle sure, and Luger et al. model that
<UmbralRaptop>
B787_300: I'm just amazed that the alignments work. Also, 1.4 per day? o_O
<egg>
also what happens with highly anisotropic albedo eyeballs
<egg>
UmbralRaptop: well, by construction if you're seeing transits to start with things are *very* edge-on
<egg>
and TRAPPIST-1 is fast
<UmbralRaptop>
egg: spacial resolution happens
<egg>
UmbralRaptop: you should try Principia TRAPPIST-1
<UmbralRaptop>
hm
<B787_300>
egg: why not with current optics... as long as most of the light is falling on a single pixel with good noise characteristics that has been well characterized...
<egg>
B787_300: because that's what comes out of their modeling, it's below the noise on current instruments
<egg>
they need JWST or Origins
<B787_300>
Ah
<UmbralRaptop>
Like, we might some day (as in <10 years?) have maps of some TRAPPIST planets comparable to pre-2015 maps of Pluto.
<egg>
Ꙩ_ꙩ
<B787_300>
Didnt read the paper just part of the abstract. Limited data on this connection
<UmbralRaptop>
egg: IKR!
<B787_300>
UmbralRaptop: something something moores law for astronomy
<UmbralRaptop>
B787_300: hah
<B787_300>
Hey you are the one that should be pushing the edge of astronomy
bofh has joined #kspacademia
<UmbralRaptop>
Well, yes. Assuming I survive quals.
<bofh>
also I am amused at the Rome convo I missed
<bofh>
tbh it seems like Rome for B787_300 is like, the bad parts of Paris with none of the good.
<bofh>
(there is obviously a lot of good, either that or I have eggstremely strange tastes :P)
<bofh>
(speaking of those uh there is much approval of Alain Ducasse from my friend)
<egg>
bofh: :D
<egg>
bofh: "A cheesecake created by French chef Alain Ducasse for Thomas Pesquet’s six-month mission on the International Space Station was sent to the Chinese astronauts."
<bofh>
also I love how they will package the chocolate into aluminum thermal bags for at least *some* anti-melting; it actually seems to have worked pretty well even.
<bofh>
advance warning: I can youtube but it's *very* slow (since it's taking a route past golden shield, and also thru an ssh socks4 proxy).
<bofh>
so it may take a few mins for me to see that. it's d/ling, in any case.
<egg>
bofh: subtitles from the relevant part: "we have tasted the European space foods / and on my birthday I particularly tasted the cakes provided by ESA / very delicious / I would like to express my gratitude to all friends who have made their great efforts to make this happen"
<bofh>
okay, thanks. also, APPROVAL.
<bofh>
gods I legit wish I bought more of this, the two of us mostly went thru all of it in like 20 mins.
<egg>
"European space foods" is a fun wording :-p
<bofh>
it is :p
<egg>
!acr -add:EAC European Astronaut Centre

egg: I added the explanation for this acronym.

!acr -add:ACC Astronaut Center of China
