I've had a great week at #SIGGRAPH #SIGGRAPH2025 representing Cosmographic Software and @spaceenginesim.bsky.social ! I thought I was doing a great job collecting ribbons until I met this very cool kid. 🤣
Megan Tannock stands in front of a SIGGRAPH 2025 poster holding up her name tag. The name tag has three colourful ribbons attached. A child holds up a name tag with dozens of colourful ribbons attached. The ribbons are as tall as she is.

Hope everyone had a great eclipse! It was my first and I had a great day with @hollyweiird.bsky.social and @thepinkpansy.bsky.social . My prominences image was captured with a Pixel 6 and a Celestron NexStar 6SE reflecting telescope (6-inch aperture), no filters used. Location: Shrewsbury, Ontario
A photo of solar prominences taken during totality during the April 8, 2024 eclipse by Megan Tannock. The photo shows the circular aperture of a telescope, and within the field of view the solar prominences extend out from behind the moon, which looks like a darker circle. The prominences have a slightly pink colour and are mostly on the left side of the image. A photo of Dino the dog, a large brown and white hound, with eclipse glasses held in front of his eyes. Dino is laying in the grass.

I guess I'm officially a game* developer! I've been through the whole process leading up to today's official release of my update to #SpaceEngine!! And I wrote an article about all of the science behind the update! Click here for nerd stuff: spaceengine.org/articles/the...
An image showing the surface temperature map of a planet from 4 different angles. The sunlit side is hot and the opposite side is cool. Intermediate angles are also shown, and there is a clear shift from warm daytime temperatures to cool nighttime temperatures. A colour bar on the right shows what temperatures correspond to each colour, where yellow is 300K and dark blue is 100K.
