As astronomical sky surveys detect changing objects in the night sky, they need to reliably distribute data alerting scientists to new discoveries in real time. Read about stream processing in astronomy with @apachekafka in this blog post by @OpenSciPinay: https://t.co/Z3nqrthFtl
The @NASA_TESS team is excited to announce the mission's first candidate planet -- a super-Earth around the bright star Pi Mensae, nearly 60 light-years away. The planet orbits every 6.3 days. The discovery is now being reviewed by other scientists to validate it. Stay tuned!
2/3: We released a new open source Python package, called `lightkurve`, which makes it easier than ever to find planets in Kepler data. It comes with a rich set of tutorials to help new students & citizen scientists get started! 👩🎓👍 https://t.co/NubOWbB0W1 #Exoplanets2
