When I first started my degree in astrophysics I was surprised at the amount of coding required. There is nobody I know who doesn’t code. It’s all in Python which is a very easy language to use and I am by no means complaining!! I like to code and find it to be really fun and a good way to exercise my brain. Just thought I’d use my platform to talk about what astronomy work actually entails! #astronomy #astrophysics #physics #fyp #academia

900 snakes escaped from a snake farm in Hengzhou, China after heavy rainfall and floods caused the farm to collapse. Local media reports indicated that the floods were a result of the annual flooding season exacerbated by Typhoon Maysak. According to Chinese outlet, The Paper, some stranded villagers were bitten by escaped snakes but could not seek treatment immediately as roads were cut off. The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that most of the escaped snakes were non-venomous, though s

Massive Reticulated Python: A Truly Solid Snake

Control systems exercise: find the percent overshoot of the system with the given transfer function. A second-order system doesn’t always settle smoothly. In many real-world systems, the output temporarily exceeds its final value before settling — a phenomenon known as percent overshoot. Why does this matter? Because overshoot isn’t just a mathematical quantity. In practical applications, excessive overshoot can lead to mechanical stress, voltage spikes, temperature excursions, or reduced passen
