  1. --- layout: post title: Hello World! category: Meta -- Hello

    World! This is just a sample post. Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before. When I orbited the Earth in a spaceship, I saw for the first time how beautiful our planet is. Mankind, let us preserve and increase this beauty, and not destroy it! The path of a cosmonaut is not an easy, triumphant march to glory. You have to get to know the meaning not just of joy but also of grief, before being allowed in the spacecraft cabin. Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.

  9. Space Probe Distance API Built with Flask, Redis Deployed to

    Heroku Scrapes DSN Now xml feed every 10 minutes stores to redis object
  10. PyEphem provides basic astronomical computations for the Python programming language.

    Given a date and location on the Earth’s surface, it can compute the positions of the Sun and Moon, of the planets and their moons, and of any asteroids, comets, or earth satellites whose orbital elements the user can provide.
