To take many exposures of the same scene and average the pixel values with the corresponding pixels from all the exposures. This increases the SNR and dynamic range, but naturally doesn't work very well if your subject isn't stati

I'm no expert either, I just think they look neat. But from what I know it's primarily the nearby star or star cluster illuminating them, so yes it'd be distinct. Also there are mixed emission and reflection nebulae so techni

Don't forget my fav, the humble reflection nebula. Of course there are always emissive stars in the background of any image of one so the point is moot. But still, there are a few hundred! :D

Great example! Another historical example I find myself thinking about is the huge number of objects that moved into a disposable category in the last century or so. What used to be built entirely by skilled hands is now the prerogative of

The thing I specifically paid for (that Google Maps doesn't seem to offer) is answering the question "what transit lines/stops are nearby and how soon will a service arrive at the stop?" Last I looked they limit the numb

Depends what we mean by grade school. For young kids (and honestly most adults) I don't think you need much more than this: "A wing, or anything that sends air moving past it down toward the ground will cause some lift (a push tow

No doubt I'm picking an easy target here, but it takes like 700 ms to switch back and forth from the Chat tab to the Calendar tab in the Teams desktop client on my boring work-issued laptop (i.e. commodity hardware). This is repeatable

Wow, that tweet they link to with a super punched in shot looks really really bad! Hard to believe Cameron thought this looked better than just a normal 4k transfer, yikes. Was really looking forward to a UHD release of The Abyss but now I&

Isn't this what the "safety number" in Signal is for? Obviously you are still trusting many other things there (the client software, OS, hardware, whatever out of band method you use to compare the numbers, etc.), but I thoug
