The workshop team at @astropy.org looks forward to seeing you at @aas.org #aas247 on Sunday, January 4th in Phoenix! π
Exciting news from @astropy.org! The redesigned Learn.Astropy.org is live! Explore tutorials blending Python + astronomy β from FITS files to orbit simulations. Learn more on the NumFOCUS blog at bit.ly/48hlBNI
Have you ever wanted @astropy.org tutorials on:
βΒ spectroscopic data reduction from a raw FITS image,
βΒ computing galactic orbits from Gaia measurements,
βΒ cross-matching astronomical catalogs?
Check out the redesigned learn.astropy.org! Announcement from @numfocus.bsky.social below. π§ͺπ #astrocode
Heads up: the deadline for regular registration for #AAS247 is Friday, November 7. (Late registration is still an option after Friday, but more expensive).
While you and your colleagues/students register, remember to register for the @astropy.org workshop! π #astrocode
