Question What happened to Launch Pad Astronomy?

13 Upvotes

During the times of JWST launch and after, I used to love watching his videos. He made probably the most detailed JWST videos I have seen. I was hoping to see his video on Roman but the channel hasn't uploaded video in more than a year. I hope nothing ill has happened to him. Anyone knows anything about this?

Hello everyone! I own multiple Hubble coffee table books and would like to add a James Webb one with all the Roman excitement! Does anyone have a good recommendation? Thank you!

Discussion I found a gravitational lens in a photo of the Ring Nebula, but I'm not quite sure if it's 100% a gravitational lens or if it's just a feature of the nebula itself.

DES J0408-5354 is a rare quadruply imaged lensed quasar system discovered via the Dark Energy Survey. Located at a redshift of z=2.375, its light is bent by a foreground galaxy (z=0.597) into multiple distinct images, helping astronomers measure cosmic expansion rates​.

Question How can I use astronomy notebooks?

0 Upvotes

Im new to Astronomy how can i use Jupyter notebooks to access jwst pipeline? Is it best to just use MAST Database or TIKE?

Or

Should I create a juypter lab notebook and self install required libraries locally with Docker or is there a premade jupyter lab notebook i can clone from github and install in a docker container on my pc? If so how do I do that and how can I use it to access jwst pipeline data?

I have never used a juypter notebook before nor have I used pyhton or python science libraries like astroquery lightkurv and astropy so Im a complete beginner in using scripts but I do know how to use some commands like pip, bash, cd and git. Are there any good tutorials online I could use?

Are there any Browser Based Interactive Notebooks for learning Notebooks for Astronomy?

Lastly how could I install and use Jdavizz notebook?
