It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage

You can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },
(response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
},
);

My latest astrophoto: The Elephants Trunk Nebula Sh2-131 - IC1396A and neighborhood in duo narrowband with RGB Stars. Almost 7h exposure time with my Baader Travel Companion and CANON EOS R(a).

@astro_jcm Already 5 years ???

I also remember it like it was yesterday. Probably on of my busiest observing run on HARPS. I was the observer the night before and participating in the live stream the TSE day. I slept only 3 hours.

But the result was just AWESOME (my first TSE !), although I was expecting it to be more dark.

My own video of it:

This solar #eclipse happened 5 years ago today, but my memories of it are as vivid as if it had been yesterday. I lived in #Chile back then, so I hopped to ESO's La Silla observatory, which was in the path of totality.

This was my second total solar eclipse, but the fact that we were at high elevation made it unique, as we could see the shadow of the #Moon coming towards us from the Pacific Ocean. My humble pic below doesn't make it justice!

Unique, twisting dust lanes are prominent in this Hubble image—an edge-on view of lenticular galaxy NGC 4753. That dust likely was pulled in during a merger with a dwarf galaxy more than 1 billion years ago. Credit: NASA, ESA, and L. Kelsey.
