    DIY DSKY: Apollo astronaut keypad being rebooted as open source replica

    By Earl on 31 Jan 2018 No Comments

    THIS I LIKE! Replica of the Apollo era DSKY computer. 

    Compared to the computer interfaces of today, the display keyboard used by the Apollo astronauts aboard their spacecraft might look quaint — until you recall that it was central to flying to the first humans to the moon almost half a century ago.

    Now, a Columbus, Georgia electronics company that has recreated World War II Enigma machines and specialized in “location-based entertainment” devices has set its sights on offering the Apollo Guidance Computer’s (AGC) display keyboard as an open source, Arduino-based replica ready in time for the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing in 2019.

    Astronomers may be closing in on source of mysterious fast radio bursts

    By Earl on 11 Jan 2018 No Comments

    Fast Radio Burst (FRB) might actually be on the verge of being solved.

     

    Astronomers may be closing in on source of mysterious fast radio bursts

    Pulses may be from a neutron star cocooned by a strong magnetic field – though experts are not ruling out more unorthodox explanations such as alien ships
