@vicgrinberg I'm giving a talk on 25 years of science with Chandra next week. If you have any illustrations of your nicest Chandra results, I will take 'em!!

@vlk Ooooh, I don't have illustrations for our Chandra results but I do have a general ond for study of clumpy winds with Chandra? Also glad to just send you the Chandra drawing alone, for whenever you want to use it 😊

@vicgrinberg Absolutely! 👍 Would be delighted to take any illustrations you have. We are collecting stuff for Chandra 25 years talks that people will be giving throughout the year, so it will probably get used multiple times! (with attribution of course)

@vicgrinberg For the niche enthusiasts, the James Gregory Telescope in St Andrews, largest (and almost oldest) Schmidt-Cassegrain in the world, built by hand, and now almost 64 years old.

@aleks Ooooh, do you have a certain pic as a reference you would want to see drawn?

@vicgrinberg Voyager I or II as they are as old as I am. And still work fine - as I do...

vicgrinberg, 5 months ago

@schnedan thank you for the idea 😊 This one caught my attention, partly because we just had conversations above very old tech of our own 🤣

@vicgrinberg

Does it have to exist? I'd like to see a cubesat with a terrarium inside.

vicgrinberg, 5 months ago

@Phosphenes yeah, real ones :)

@vicgrinberg The Lovell telescope. Every time we were nearby when I was a child, we'd try to spot it from the road, later it was the first "big science" project I ever visited (as a slightly larger child in the mid 90s).
