The first image of the #blackhole at the centre of M87 took five petabytes of raw data to produce one beautiful image containing proof that black holes (which had been theoretical up-until-now) do actually exist.

Funny looking equation of the day:

xʸ = yˣ

Solutions for x≠y include (2, 4) (and (4, 2)).

(60494+17284)²=6049417284
and so on.

My work is #hiring again for a #Python #job. The position is for #Django work on #ecological and #environmental #mapping.

We work with both government and private organisations to map out ecological data like #LandUse water #pollution and #biodiversity indices, bringing together satellite data and other sources.

If this sounds interesting, let me know!

I'm a semi-private about where I work exactly, so I'll message you the details.
