The Island School of Social #Autonomy (#ISSA) on the Croatian island of #Vis is a place that imagines, experiments with, and cultivates forms of #knowledge production and sharing that go beyond traditional notions of #education and its purpose. It also fosters modes of living that extend beyond mere survival in the “age of #extinction.
Practical and financial help is welcome.

"Er zijn veel makrelen geboren." Heeft #NielsHintzen deze ontdekking al gepubliceerd in n wetenschappelijk tijdschrift? Ik dacht dat #makreel n #vis was.

#Defender #vis #portière on m'a signalé que j'avais perdu une vis sur une charnière de porte de mon Defender , ça va pas être facile d'en trouver une 😬

Revisiting ISSA - Island School of Social Autonomy and updating the DeadDrop I made here last year with new cat pictures :))✨It is such a beautiful place in the mountains of #Vis. Thx to @mediengruppe_bitnik for having us #islandschoolofsocialautonomy 📚🏝️☀️

Another feature that you can see in #ESAEuclid's first images: What are these? Satellite streaks 🛰️? Asteroids ☄️? Superwoman (or Superman) 🦸🏽 ?

No, much smaller: these are traces by #CosmicRays ⚡, hitting #Euclid's #VIS and #NISP detectors directly, depositing energy and electric charges in their pixels.

ESA geeft eerste testbeelden van Euclid vrij

De twee instrumenten van Euclid hebben hun eerste testbeelden gemaakt. De betoverende resultaten geven aan dat de ruimtetelescoop de wetenschappelijke doelen zal bereiken waarvoor hij is ontworpen

Coming Monday (31. July) we will declare "First Light" for #ESAEuclid 🛰️ and show the first engineering images that the #VIS and #NISP instruments 📷 have taken of the sky, using a fully focussed telescope! 🔭

Yay! 🥳

That said, #Euclid has now also arrived at its ultimate distance from Earth, circling around the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2 😎🌏🛰️ - joining #ESAGaia and #JWST:

@PacoVelobs @lorddimwit @breadbin That’s is very cautious declaration from the moment when the project was fresh. Now, #vis is openly different than vim.

@lorddimwit @breadbin I was originally just playing with it and took just my #Neovim as the serious $EDITOR, but #vis grew on me so much, that I now used it almost exclusively (except for some few things, where vis doesn’t have support yet).

@lorddimwit @breadbin Also, what do you think of https://github.com/martanne/vis ? #vis SRE

The #NISP team has completed #commissioning of the second of #ESAEuclid's instruments. ✅ NISP is the "Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer"🌈, working in parallel to #VIS. NISP is working fine! Another big step for the mission! 🎉

An intro to NISP:

Next up in commissioning: more than a week of focussing 🔭 and secondary mirror 🪞alignment - essential to get science-quality images.

#ESA #astrodon #astronomy

Here the very wide-field MegaCam on the CFHT #telescope was used, a camera 📷 that in its design was a precursor to #VIS, the wide-field visible wavelength instrument now onboard #ESAEuclid. How wide field? Well, the full area covered by MegaCam is about 80 times larger than the area shown in the video.

#ESAEuclid has not yet been focussed, meaning that the secondary mirror ("M2") is in its safe position for launch and images would still be blurry 🔍. Focussing will take more than a week starting coming Monday.

Meanwhile the #VIS team has completed instrument #commissioning. ✅
All working well, both in space as well as on ground, some minor things are being investigated. A big step! 🎉

Next up: the #NISP instrument

#ESA #astrodon #astronomy

Update on #ESAEuclid #commissioning: while the whole spacecraft 🛰️ continues to cool down, the #VIS instrument checked out its electronics, shutter, and calibration lamp 💡 and they all react as expected. The #NISP instrument has rotated its filter and grism wheels 🎡 successfully.

Next up is full VIS & NISP commissioning, before the telescope optics will undergo a week of alignment & focussing.

I’m a Blind technologist and i’ve built the Dimensions Lab for #accessible tactile graphics and #3d models at New York Public Library. With the right tools, skill-building opps and community support, Blind people can break out of image poverty and excel at spatial thinking + design. This is me waving hello to folks in #Vis #Art #Graphics & #CreativeCoding https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/06/15/1074036/ending-image-poverty/amp/
