I just posted a gallery of photos that I took with Danny earlier this year during a trip to Boston. After a very cold walk outside and a brief stop for a martini in Harvard Square, we made our way back to his house to take several photographs of the little man. Check out the rest of the gallery — there are several in there that I like.

Apologies for the sporadic updates of late. I have been working night and day on some computer vision software for work, and this has left very little time for photography, music, hiking, hanging out, or much of anything else for that matter. Rest assured that things will rebalance soon.

NASA/ESA/University of Arizona recently posted a pair of very cool video showing the telemetry and science data downlinked from the Huygens probe during its descent into Titan’s atmosphere. Titan is Saturn’s largest moon, and it is notable as a moon with a fully developed atmosphere (as opposed to only having trace gases). Clouds form on Titan, and it is theorized that it rains and that liquid (in the form of liquid methane) has shaped the topography of the planet surface.

The first video shows telemetry overlayed next to a real time descent imagery display. The fields in the data display are summarized on NASA’s site, however the high res version of the video is available directly from the ESA. The second video shows a simulation of the complete descent sequence from release from Cassini high above Titan all the way to the ground.
