Since a lot of people are confused about what this is, every telescope here is owned by a person. Each person can log in remotely to use their telescope to capture photos of space from our dark skies!

This is why Texas will do better than your state.
There is a center of gravity forming around all the stuff @elonmusk is building between Austin and San Antonio and beyond. It's going to be the closest thing the US has to Shenzhen.

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
This painting has been labeled a lot as being unrealistic, but after seeing this sunset eclipse in Spain I think it is decently accurate in capturing the vibe
The #1 question from this post was “how can I use one of these telescopes?”
Well good news, we installed a couple hundred telescopes that you can now use to do astronomy from our observatory! Here’s what they can do:
Here’s part of what it looks like to use one of these scopes via the seestar app. You get full control over the telescope, no sharing with anyone else, and you can point it at whatever you want! There are unlimited cool things to go see with it

This might be the coolest real estate business in the world.
Some dudes took over a ranch in Texas and built a telescope farm. They're managing hundreds and hundreds of scopes for other people and offering super dark skies and fiber internet so that folks can take amazing pictures of space.
Behold Starfront Observatories.
Come see why there’s 800 telescopes on a random field in Texas!

We're chatting with @astrofalls on stream tonight at 8pm ET about his work at @starfront_obs and what its like to have a telescope installed at the remote observatory. twitch.tv/astrocanuck

Come see our glorious video on @starfront_obs. One of the coolest places I've been in awhile. corememory.com/p/the-great-t…

A few months ago, I saw someone posting a certain kind of erotica on X. They were images of hundreds upon hundreds of telescopes spread across what appeared to be ranch land. The telescopes were arranged in a pleasing pattern, and had motorized contraptions guarding them, and were so numerous that all of my nerdogenous zones were activated.
And so off to Central Texas we went to witness Starfront Observatories firsthand.

Some media companies run ads. We name nebulas.

This episode on @starfront_obs is going to be so damn good.
