Time to let the cat out of the bag! @tylerni7 and @michaelnute have been writing code to detect missile launches like tonight's North Korean ICBM test in GPS data. Missiles make ionospheric disturbances that GPS records. The yellow ripple is the ionospheric disturbance.

@BrandSanderson my son and his oculator friends are right now on their way to infiltrate the downtown library. 👓

@driscollis I'm interested to see the replies for the benefit of a friend I'm helping who is new to Python. I work iteratively, using ipython/jupyter or a debugger (+1 @code) next to the code I'm writing. This overwhelmed my friend because of the different components.
