@marylizbender@CNSAWatcher Those are some excellent self rotations!
I'm noticing there's also plenty of room in that station for Space Juggling! If they need any more fun games to explore movement, I hope they'll check/reach out to @thespacejuggler

Announcing our Oct 2021 Transceiver speaker: @AdamDipert, aka @thespacejuggler!
Join us on Oct 14 @ 7pm ET for a fascinating discussion on the physics of bodies in low gravity, embodied cognition, and the future of performance art in space

Mathematics of Space Juggling!

The simulation in the web browser runs a bit slow. I suggest clicking the down arrow button a few times to really slow down the speed of the animation.

Join us July 23 or 24 to be among the first to see what skilled #juggling in #weightlessness actually looks like.

Remember that in weightlessness thrown balls travel in straight lines? While I am spinning, I do not see straight lines. I see curves.
In my rotating reference frame, we can see these paths together and enjoy a spinning universe.
In weightlessness, it is possible to spin your body in a cartwheel. I love this because it is the only way you can spin and face in the same direction.
Would be possible to throw balls down to myself? It is! The challenge is throwing the balls so they arrive at your hand.
When learning to juggle in weightlessness, the first thing to understand is that the balls will move in straight lines. They will not move in parabolas like we're all used to.

We just received the most current issue of @ROOM__Space and it contains the first published Space Juggling article! It received significant contributions from Thom Waymouth, Jeremy Lewis, @kaci_torres, @cosmobiologist, and the ROOM editors.
Space Juggling is a team effort!
Lighting the Space Juggling videos was a huge challenge!
The ring shown has 450 individually addressable LEDs on the ring which could be remotely controlled by the sensor (posted yesterday).
That was also implemented using an Adafruit ESP32 Huzzah Board and Arduino IDE.
Tomorrow at 10:30 am eastern, @AdamDipert will be joining host and dancer @gillianperforms on the STEAM Cafe on the CosmoQuestX Twitch Stream. Join us to discover more about Space Juggling.

We're excited to share the Space Juggling logo with you today!
We wanted to reference our planetary heritage, our orbital trajectory, and our spaceships.
There are a number of other influences in the logo design however. I'm willing to bet you can identify some of them?
Sunday morning, 7 am
Working hard to translate my journal article version of Space Juggling math into a Mathematica notebook, so it can be shared more easily in an interactive way with everyone on the internet.
