A new way to find #AI generated #slop on reddit:
The comments are written at exactly the full hour. Probably "fetch the latest comment in this sub, write a gpt-4o response and post it"

The night sky in #Namibia was so incredibly dark. I've never seen the milky way this clearly. #astrophotography

Hard to see, but coming soon to Luna - my space sim:
Black Holes.
Open to any more suggestions. I think astrobiology and especially letting planet's biomes change depending on temperature are two bigger tasks I am still very keen on implementing #astronomy #space

My Space Simulator was mentioned in the Teletext of the Österreichischer Rundfunk - National Public Broadcaster of Austria. Super cool :D

Bangkok has amazing #veganfood #vegan

This was at Nature’s Charm

#Vegan meal on my flight from Cape Town to Doha. Qatar airways has really fast internet on board.
Curious how the meals on the way to Bangkok will be

I brought back a collaborative #art wall I worked on earlier this year.

One square per artwork
Build on what’s already there or let your piece stand alone.

No AI art.

Another feature that I'm super happy with: giving the procedurally generated planets different looks, instead of just a color

New Feature in my space simulator - When placing planets, we now see how the orbit (hopefully) will look. Makes it much easier to place planets.

My solar system simulator was at the top of r/internetisbeautiful

Really cool to see other people liked the project I put so much time into, too.

I've added sonification to the space simulator. You can now generate random solar systems and listen to them.
I really enjoy it. Try this one for example:

You can add Rings to any planet and see how it flies away. N-Body Simulation might get computationally intensive. I did make it work on phones now though

This is incredibly fun. Generating random solarsystems and seeing if any of your orbits stabilize and whether any of the planets becomes habitable.

Might be the most fun thing I have ever built.

I build a space simulation. It's not perfect, but it's free and in the browser. Still working on it. Would be super happy if you try this #astronomy #simulation #physics #sciart
