Five year Astro career development fellowship in Oxford open for applications, broadly in survey astronomy including transients and cosmology. College teaching and research. Do think about joining us. Happy to answer questions! 🔭
We're hiring a tenure-track computational / physical scientist. It will be joint with the home department and the Institute for Advance Computational Science. Job ad here:

Looking for an internship opportunity and interested in the impact of open science?
Come work with us to investigate the impact of NASA’s open science activities!

My textbook on SETI is published!
I hope you like it!
Please see if your libraries offer a free download—mine does!

Have you tried Galileo Galilei? It’s by the same designer as SETI and I think it’s an even better game

This board game is amazing!
It's super complicated and VERY true to the science. Every astrobiologist board game geek should get a copy! I'm SO impressed at the research behind this game.
I would LOVE to review this game! Anyone know how/where I could do that?

If you write or use research software, ASCL is here to help others find it, use it, and cite it.
The C++ library provides input/output, basic spatial operations such as conversion between spherical coordinates and HEALPix pixels, and also sophisticated spatial operations such as querying cones or polygons, as well as upsampling/downsampling, smoothing, and fast spherical harmonic

surface in which each pixel covers the same surface area as every other pixel. It is commonly used to store all-sky astronomical images, most famously maps of the cosmic microwave background.
This package provides the static library and headers for the C++ language implementation of HEALPix.

Random #Debian Astro package of the week is libhealpix-cxx-dev. HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelization produces a subdivision of a spherical

This sounds very doom-ish but SciX works great for astro, I have made the switch entirely from ADS and haven't lost any function or speed. 🔭 (would be interested in hearing about usage in other fields)
Virtual Astronomy Software Talks comes early this month!
Come (virtually) hear about Julia in Astro tomorrow, with 2 talks focusing on Julia:
Paul Barrett: JuliaAstro
Paul Tieda: Comrade.jl
show starts at 11am US East Coast time

I'm happy to report that "Scenario 2" won't be necessary, as NASA has just communicated to us that SciX funding will continue in 2026 (albeit at a reduced level). Therefore, we will not be forcing astronomers to leave ADS, but rather develop a plan that allows a longer transition.
Is it an early Thanksgiving miracle?! Kind of feels like one!
