We (mostly @davidoryan.bsky.social + @emily.space ) made a Bluesky bot that shares a galaxy from the Galaxy Zoo archive! Currently planning to share a few a day, working on the scheduling but everything else is done. #dotastro 🔭🧪
A spiral galaxy, observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in the COSMOS.
It is at redshift 0.66 and coordinates (150.346, 2.46).
This classification was made in the GZ: Hubble project.

The annual running cost of the @ojastro.bsky.social is less than the cost of publishing ONE paper in MNRAS. 🔭 #dotastro

It’s very new. @vrooje.bsky.social @davidoryan.bsky.social and @emily.space made it at dotastro just a couple of weeks ago.

I’m at dotAstro so I’ll ask Robert Simpson 🤞

One thing to come out of #dotastro last week was this bot that posts a galaxy every hour.
Even then, it will take 171 *years* to post all 1.5 million galaxies labelled in the Galaxy Zoo project.
And that's assuming they don't do even more before then... 🔭🧪

A barred spiral galaxy, observed with the Apache Point 2.5m Telescope in the SDSS survey.
It is at redshift 0.008 (lookback time 114.365 million years) with coordinates (24.00065, 0.66353).
This classification was made in the Galaxy Zoo 2 project.

It lives! An updated and incredibly experimental website for #dotastro is now live at dotastronomy.com. we like to live our creed here: so it's absolutely untested and essentially a hack project.

Met @brettmor.bsky.social at dotAstro today, and I started our conversation with “I go to bed thinking about HAT-P-11 and I wake up still thinking about HAT-P-11.”

a very fun use of Bluesky in practice: this conference dashboard for the projectors at #dotastro that includes a live feed of the hashtag and an auto-updating schedule linked to Google Sheets!
Please sign up to the Slack! (see emails for invite link)

I'm excited to go to Madrid next week for #dotastro 13!
I'm also making this vague post to test my dashboard at emilyhunt.github.io/dotastronomy-live-feed!

I had no idea that Plotly figures are just .html files by default - makes it a much easier plotting library to embed in web things than matplotlib figures #dotastro
Final #dotastro tutorial of the morning - we're hearing about the Python plotting library Plotly from Cameron Swiggum!

Big shoutout from Peter Coles to the library staff at Maynooth Uni who provided a lot of support to the Open Journal of Astrophysics. #dotastro #librariansftw

Advantages of BSky for being a new "town square of science" (according to @emily.space at dotastro):
- platform is open source
- separate components that anyone can/will host
- will eventually be federated
- posts are called "skeets" this is non-negotiable

Lots of great people to meet at #dotAstro, both old friends and new. It's been also great to get back into the big picture outlook of why our work in archiving #astronomy data is important, instead of the minute details day-to-day work frequently entails 😉
