There's at least 6 different versions of me in the official @esa.int #LPS25 programme - but don't panic, most likely only one me will show up at the event.

Until later @esa.int!

Tomorrow I’m joining @asterisk-labs.bsky.social as a full-time co-founder.

We are a co-operative research lab conducting open science on top of public data commons to find new unexpected uses of data programmes like @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social

You will be hearing more soon!

Further ahead, here is an even earlier sample from 2025 over the Chatham Islands (New Zealand).

Taken at 21:47:51 UTC, which corresponds to 10:32:51 of the local time +12:45 (fractional time zone).

It is high time we expanded the open Major TOM standard and released nearly 170 million global embeddings.

In a joint collaboration between ESA Φ-lab and CloudFerro, we expanded the standard for Major TOM to also support embedding derivative datasets:

To get in the habit of posting on 🦋, this is one of the first Landsat images capturing the region around Rome (11 August 1972).

Here's me looking at my current home from space, over 2 decades before I was born.

Open data programmes are an extraordinary treasure.
