(01 May) The Universe’s Gold May Come From a Totally Unexpected Kind of Star
A forgotten flare from a dead star could explain how the early cosmos got its bling.

I'm putting some remix, edits and alternate takes on my "Lunchbox" playlist.
Just put up "LFO Infusion Tisane (with Caffeine Beats)" adding drums to my original LFO Infusion Tisane track.
Drums are Univox SR-95 aka Korg Mini Pops 7 aka Jean-Michel Jarre signature drum machine (I think Michael Garrison used the Univox version)

It's out! My first video, my first #hardware #jam since 2022!
#dawless #techno with #dfam, #labyrinth and #neutron. Semi #improvised.
And it was so much fun! I missed this so much! This is what I got the studio space for in my new place!
A little lapdesk, just big enough to hold my battery pack powering my tiny portable studio: a #behringer #neutron, a #zoom #ms70cdr, a #korg #sq1 and a #tascam digital recorder.

The same approach to add multiples to my #eurorack #modulars can be also used to add multiples to semimodulars such as the #behringer #neutron (and similar eurorack compatible skiffs). I added small L brackets to the side screws, then mounted short standoffs, then finally mount the 3U module to the standoffs. #diy #studio #music #synth
Some #sound #studio timeline updates. I've added an LED strip to the back of the table, started setting up three cameras for recordings and later live streams. And two pics of a bunch of synths (#MicroFreak, #minilogue_xd, #dfam, #neutron and a few others) that I'll use soon™.
A star's life begins in a #Nebula, a cloud of gas and dust.
It spends most of its life fusing hydrogen into helium, eventually evolving into a #RedGiant or #Supergiant before potentially ending as a #WhiteDwarf, #Neutron #Star, or #BlackHole.

New year, new #Neutron launch opportunities. Our reusable, medium-lift rocket has been selected by #NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration to provide launch services through the agency’s VADR contract, a program aimed at enabling greater access to space for science and technology missions through commercial launch opportunities.

October 8, 2024 #RocketLab will challenge the program to hit a 
2028 launch window https://spacenews.com/nasa-awards-rocket-lab-study-contract-for-mars-sample-return
December 2, 2024 #SpaceX would rely on #Starship. Canceling #MSR would open the door for #China 
to become the first nation to return samples from #Mars https://spacenews.com/foust-forward-who-gets-the-final-word-on-mars-sample-return
#DidYouKnow: A #Pulsar (from pulsating radio source) is a highly magnetized rotating #Neutron #Star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation out of its magnetic poles.
The periods of pulsars make them very useful tools for astronomers. In 1983, certain types of pulsars were detected that at that time exceeded the accuracy of atomic clocks in keeping time.
The first #PulsarClock in the world was installed in St Catherine's Church, Poland, in 2011.

The cost of a #NewGlenn (45 tons) launch will be about $67 million 
. Elon Musk says that a #Starship (150 tons) launch would cost only $10 million 
. #RocketLab is targeting the price of a #Neutron (13 tons) launch to be $50 million. #GwynneShotwell noted that 400 Starships will launch in the next four years https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/5004815-blue-origin-new-glenn-launch
#Nyx is compatible with #Ariane6, #Falcon9, #Neutron, #H3, and #GSLV. The "#Bikini" reentry demonstrator was intended to demonstrate the company's #reentry technology. Unfortunately, #Ariane6's upper stage failed on its deorbit burn, so the Bikini capsule remains stuck in space. The current timeline for Nyx's debut is 2028 https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/11/how-real-is-this-european-space-startup-that-aims-to-launch-astronauts
#OnThisDay Birth Anniversary of James Chadwick (1891) - British physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the #Neutron.
Today is World #StatisticsDay and World #Osteoporosis Day.
