I certainly picked a bad time to make a new twitter account.
A moon ring from last night! The little dot next to the Moon is Jupiter!
Visited the @PWInstruments open house this Saturday. Really cool to see new telescopes being made here in Michigan!
Lovely day at U-M.
Some more photos from the Meridian room I took during lunch today.

I think about it all the time too. Figuring out the toolmaking and work processes have been the most enjoyable part of doing this #Antikythera reconstruction - pic attached from an upcoming video - Cheers :)

I’ve been obsessed with the @clickspring1 reconstructions of the Antikythera mechanism and associated tools. Machining and tooling are way outside of my expertise, but I’ve thinking about it a lot recently with respect to the DO telescopes and tech. youtu.be/ML4tw_UzqZE

@mcnees Mrs. Challis insisted that they have a cup of tea first. By the time they had finished their tea, it had clouded over, and the chance of a discovery was lost to the dastardly French and Germans. Most British thing ever.

Detroit Observatory connection! The DO’s first director, Franz Brünnow, was present, along with their mentor Johann Enke, when Galle discovered Neptune!

Astronomer Johann Galle first identified the planet Neptune #OTD in 1846. He had been told where to look for it by Urbain Le Verrier, whose calculations were based on irregularities in the orbit of Uranus. Image Credits: NASA, JPL; NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI

The Observatory is located at one of Ottawa County's parks. mlive.com/news/grand-rap…
Been at the Detroit Observatory for almost 1 year!

Got to talk with @LowbrowAstro tonight about current Observatory programs. They’ve been a big supporter of the DO for many years, so I’m excited to connect with them post reopening.
