We've now added Omicron to the variant data shown in our Data Explorer: https://t.co/KRU6B4ywF5

For now, only Botswana has sequenced and reported Omicron cases to @GISAID.

(As always, this data is available thanks to the great work of @firefoxx66 at https://t.co/NiEGHX9d3W) pic.twitter.com/ADlYN84tUY

Sentinel Hub’s EO Browser

Nice!

I learned today that you don't need to be an astronaut to browse recent satellite data "like on google maps".

Just visit Sentinel Hub's EO Browser and pick a date.

Here's November 16th and June 29th (reference)https://t.co/W3o2k2owZ3 @sentinel_hub for #30DayMapChallenge https://t.co/5lTQCQT4gQ pic.twitter.com/tRkwI5Pl0K

Supersonic parachute deployment at ~Mach 2

Superb computational fluid dynamics visualization of supersonic parachute deployment at ~Mach 2 from @NASA_Supercomp

These simulations are wildly complex because the deformation of the parachute structure has to be simulated as well as the fluid dynamics pic.twitter.com/wYHO8hTwWV
