Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Last week, Earth Fire Alliance released first light images from the initial handful of FireSats. A constellation designed to monitor fire, globally, in near real time. earthfirealliance.org/news-article... The data are stunning, with 5 bands measuring 4 different wavelengths.
Three satellite images showing Dubbo, Australia in different wavelengths. The leftmost image is mostly green, revealing vegetation in a shortwave infrared, near infrared, and red light.

The second image is midwife infrared, colored dark red to light yellow. At this wavelength the image is a combination of emitted and reflected light, so the image reveals information about landscape composition. Urban areas and bare earth tend to be bright, dense vegetation and water dark.

The third image is thermal infrared, showing temperature from dark orange to light yellow. Vegetation tends to be cool, fields and sparse vegetation warmer.
