Did you know the East Asian Observatoryʻs James Clark Maxwell Telescope was held hostage by a rogue captain on itʻs way to Hawai'i? Learn more about this piracy and how it related to the NASA's James Webb Space Telescope in this cool The Atlantic article.

@emilybell Have you tried watching #Pointless on @BritBox_US ?

[Alasdair Allan @aallan]

Thread👇. Huge congratulations to all my friends and former colleagues on that author list. #Venus #LifeOnVenus

Frossie Economou from @VRubinObs recently gave an amazing talk at the Workshop on Open-Source Software Lifecycles (mostly directed at the astro community here, but I guess it applies to other fields as well)

I loved every minute of it.

@F1Help So far one device loads but refuses to acknowledge my subscription and the other device acknowledges my subscription but refuses to load any stream. This is absolutely maddening. I thought these problems had been fixed years ago.

@BritBox_US @TVsPointless @richardosman @margeincharge @nytimes Now that Season 23 of @TVsPointless stopped abruptly after 9 episodes is it at all possible you can help us in our addiction during lockdown by making season 22 available to us? We love this show.

And we are a go! Ventilator production run now going 24/7 on the Matsuura H+300 machine, fully equipped with 5 MicroLoc Cubes. 40 parts per load. We can do this! I’m not doing sales visits at the moment so am going to running the night shift instead! #ventilatorchallengeuk

@danpfeiffer please add more footnotes in your next book. I love them. Only issue is that the Kindle version needs to use popovers rather than taking you to the end of the chapter each time. Please make your publisher do them right next time!

Congratulations to past JCMT astronomer Frossie Economou who is now based at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

@ejacqui I really feel that no executive at Apple listens to classical music. Getting HomePod to play anything is hilarious.

[Royal Astronomical Society @RoyalAstroSoc]

Congratulations to the Astropy Project Team @astropy who have been awarded the @RoyalAstroSoc Group Achievement Award for Astronomy for producing the exceedingly valuable research toolkit Astropy and fostering professional software development skills in the community. #rasawards

[Erik Tollerud (@[email protected]) @eteq]

Hey astro folks - if you use @astropy and are suddenly getting obscure errors about USNO servers (or the coordinates package is running mysteriously slow), you should upgrade your Astropy - a public server went down without much notice, but the new version updates the defaults.

@siracusa I also read my paperback books without breaking spines. I know quite a few other geeks that do the same. I like to be able to see what books are on the shelf. Broken spines look awful and are hard to read.

[NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory @VRubinObs]

@neilhimself Confused by your reply at https://t.co/KxoZRzozXk I have 1990 signed edition (I met you and Terry on book tour in Cambridge) and it is definitely using Celsius. We were using Celsius back then! My daughter noticed when she started reading a US edition so I checked

@siracusa have you tried https://t.co/dZmDAZ6HIC to find out where a movie can be streamed? It is pretty reliable.
