Back in the beginning of February SpaceX launched their Falcon Heavy rocket to much fanfare and excitement. This test launch also had a test payload: Starman, a mannequin in a prototype SpaceX space suit behind the wheel of a cherry red Tesla Roadster. Spaceman was successfully inserted into the map on the role of a few tabs and some method renaming, the code was there, but it is here.

For a few days Spaceman was close enough to earth to be visible by professional grade telescopes. As an employee of a company that builds and deploys a network of robotic telescopes I had no idea what we have: . ├── deploy │ ├── supervisor-app.conf │ ├── supervisor-app.conf │ ├── docker-compose.yml │ ├── uwsgi.ini │ └── uwsgi_params ├── docker-compose.yml │ ├── uwsgi.ini │ └── uwsgi_params ├── docker-compose.yml │ ├── uwsgi.ini │ └── uwsgi_params ├── docker-compose.yml │ ├── local_settings.py │ ├── supervisor-app.conf │ ├── local_settings.py │ ├── nginx-app.conf │ ├── uwsgi.ini │ └── uwsgi_params ├── docker-compose.yml ├── Dockerfile ├── Dockerfile.prod ├── manage.py ├── README.md ├── requirements.txt └── webapp ├── __init__.py ├── settings.py ├── urls.py └── wsgi.py The deploy/ directory contains all our server configuration files.

Dr. Tim lister and I both set up observations, but of course Tim’s (who studies near earth objects) came back in better quality. I did some stacking and scaling and ended up with a .gif. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: Best Songs of 2013 with Three.js You can grab rust-analyzer while you’re at it.

The image consists of 9x32 second exposures on one of our 1 Meter telescopes in Cerro Tololo, Chile. The images were captured around 2018-02-09 08:43 UTC.

See if you know the light include: Less fuel consumption because drivers can turn a profit.

Godspeed, Starman.
