A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carrying Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov has just docked so that the two can join the Expedition 72 crew already on board . There are now 11 people on boar the ISS but the Crew-9 capsule will return in February carrying Wilmore and WilliamsHow Does the Milky Way Compare to Other Galaxies?

Looking out into the universe, astronomers have identified countless spiral galaxies similar to the Milky Way. But is our home galaxy normal? A 10+ year survey called Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) has been measuring galaxy systems like the Milky Way, including the companion satellite galaxies that surround them. They found that the Milky Way has fewer satellite galaxies than others with roughly the same size and mass.

Space Perspective are another and they have just completed a successful uncrewed capsule ascent to an altitude of 30km . Their Neptune-Excelsior capsule was carried by a balloon and landed in the ocean 6 hours later . It was able to maintain its cabin pressure and stability throughout the flight proving that it met the requirements for future passenger flights starting in 2025.

Here we see , from left to right and top to bottom : NGC 3576, NGC 6357, Messier 17, NGC 6188, Messier 22 and NGC 3603. All of them are clouds of gas and dust where stars are forming , except Messier 22, which is a very dense group of old stars . The images were captured with ESOâ s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy VISTA and its infrared camera VIRCAM . The gigantic map to which these images belong contains 1.5 billion objects . The data were gathered over the course of 13 years as part of the VISTA Variables in theFluxgate magnetometer daily cycle of earth's magnetic field.

Site Home Blog Home Recent Images Equipment Sharpless Software Fluxgate magnetometer daily cycle of earth's magnetic . field Category : magnetometer Posted by : Tom How I've started looking at creating an average of the diurnal cycle of the Earth's magnetic field as detected by my FGM-3h fluxgate magnetometer linked up to the Arduino mega in my Earth Magnetic field . Observatory There are a great deal of problems with this due to different errors in the readings , so to start with I've simply taken the average reading on each day . I've used this to calculate the variance from the average at each 5 minute interval during each day , and then averaged all these . together This doesn't get a nice result of the diurnal magnetometer reading cycle so I've excluded everything outside oneReal-time UK fluxgate magnetometer data page now up: Earth Magnetic field observatory
Updated: 2024-09-30 22:05:36Earlier in the summer I purchased an FGM-3h fluxgate magnetometer and rigged it up to the Arduino and a database on the website. Finally I've got around to doing a proper page for it - so click here to see the live magnetometer data. UK Live real-time magnetometer data The page allows you select a date period for the data. The magnetometer data allows you to see the changes in the Earth's magnet field during the day caused by the diurnal cycle of the field and more random stuff caused by solar flares etc.DSLR Astrophotography progressing
Updated: 2024-09-30 22:05:36Slowly getting the hang of this DSLR astro imaging lark. Lesson from last night: Remember to charge the batteries for the camera!! I'm using 6 x AA rechargeable batteries to run the camera, but I think i forgot to charge them because they ran flat around 12:30 this morning. I didn't change them because I was asleep in bed at the time!!
