In Dune, humanity fought a war to destroy thinking machines, then banned them for ten thousand years. Overreaction? Modeled as a dynamical system, handing thinking to machines has a trap, and small steps back don't get you out. #Dune #AI #SciFi #ComplexSystems www.tangential.ch/experiments/...

On September 8, OpenAI announced that an AI system had produced a proof about the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how fluids move. Much of the coverage reported that OpenAI had solved these equations. The result is something different.

NGC 5128 Centaurus A (LRGB) Centaurus A, also know as NGC 5128 or Caldwell 77, is a peculiar elliptical #galaxy in the constellation of #Centaurus. #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #art #BlueSkyArtshow #PhotographersUnite #science @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social (See more => click ALT 👇)
NGC 5128 Centaurus A (LRGB). Astrophoto by Beatrice Heinze (Processing) & Telescope Live (Data).

This galaxy is situated approximately 11 million light-years away from Earth, and was discovered by astronomer James Dunlop in 1826.

I used PixInsight for stacking & processing the data.        

Data: Telescope Live     
Processing: Beatrice Heinze  

Telescope: ASA 500N (50cm, F3.8 -> Newtonian telescope)

Location: El Sauce Observatory, Rio Hurtado valley, Chile (Southern Hemisphere) => Bortle Class 1      

Total exposure time: 2 hours 

Clear Skies!

My latest image of the Dumbbell Nebula (M27), a planetary nebula located roughly 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Vulpecula. This capture reveals the brighter central core along with some of the fainter outer hydrogen-alpha structures. #astrophotography #space #astronomy #M27

1/3 Planarian fragments can regenerate normal gross anatomy after a transient bioelectric perturbation, yet display altered outcomes upon re-cutting. This implies regeneration stores a persistent hidden state. A new preprint formalizes that state geometrically.

Sharpless 119, is a large patch of emission in the constellation Cygnus and lies some 2200 light years away. It’s only 2-3 degrees away from the North American and Pelican Nebulae, so is often overlooked. #Astrophotography #Astrophoto #Photo
