Machine Learning in Astronomy; One example exploring the Artificial Intelligence ChatGPT with a simple conversation about philosopher Paul Feyerabend

 Greetings from Palmia Observatory

The use of artificial intelligence systems and machine learning is being applied to many astronomical observations.  These techniques are especially valuable for large datasets and many papers report good success while a few identify some of its spectacular failures also.

 Greetings from Palmia Observatory

Well its been a while since we last posted.  It has just been a trying time of year, but let's mention a few items hopefully of interest to the physicist wannabes.

Another glimpse at renewable energy; Looking at Moon and Jupiter; Neil Turok explains how flatness in the universe might be caused by gravity, not inflation

 Greetings from Palmia Observatory

Well it has been a while since the last post, so lets just get started.

Blasts from the past! MEPAG 2022; May Planetary Alignment; Hooray, Sgr* Black Hole Image! May Lunar Eclipse; AbSciCon2022; Ukraine; Why?

 Greetings from Palmia Observatory

Well, here we are already in May, and even though we have lots of conferences and observations to go over, my Ipad reminded me of several images from the past, so let's first begin with a sample of those.

Wow, large sunspots today; April APS and Higher precision CMB measurements; AbSciCon22; CPA; Neutrinos; Weighing the W Boson; Interference pattern on the patio?

 Greetings from Palmia Observatory

Well, this week we comment on the recent April APS meeting and other online presentations and published results.  In addition, the forecast of sunspot activity, called for taking the flimsy tripod outside and looking at the sun.
