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

The Sound of Functions: Exploring Mathematical Patterns

If time is paused, the environment instantly becomes uninhabitable because the physical mechanics of the universe require time to function. Because light requires time to travel, suspended photons would never reach your retinas, resulting in absolute blindness. Similarly, sound is a mechanical wave that relies on the physical collision of atoms to propagate; without this movement, the atmosphere remains completely silent. Respiration would also fail, as the kinetic motion of oxygen molecules is

African Rock Python Facts: Size, Teeth & Safety Tips

If I am wearing my safety jacket then you know its going to be a wild snake video😅 This momma python was going for it and striking anytime I got close👀 She even went for the cameraman who we all know is basically invincible🙌
