Previously on AstroBetter, we’ve discussed what operating systems are used in our profession, in particular relative numbers of OS X (Mac) versus Linux users. While it’s good for us at AstroBetter to know our readership, we can use Google Analytics for that. It’s more important for the astronomical community to know the broader landscape, so that as astronomers develop software tools, they are aware of the platforms colleagues will use to access those tools.

So I asked the folks at STScI who run the Astronomer’s Proposal Tool (APT). They’ve been keeping track of what operating system was used to submit every Hubble proposal for the last 7 proposal cycles. They kindly sent me a chart to share. Here it is,

regraphicked for clarity. The Y axis is the percentage* of proposals per year submitted with a given operating system.

Each cycle had between 700 and 1100 proposals submitted. While there may be wavelength-dependent trends, I would argue that Hubble users are a broad cross-section into the astronomical community.

So this is a fascinating chart! Linux has slowly lost market share, and now serves a quarter of users. And check out the decline of Sun, and the corresponding rise of Macs. These are trends we all know — but it’s neat to see quantification.

OS X 10.9 or later. Screenshots Download Now. Astro Gold is a reliable and elegant astrology software application for Mac computers. Along with high precision calculations, you can also read professional astrological interpretations. Astro Gold for Mac features Natal, Transit, Solar Return, Progression and Synastry interpretations. When installing AsteroidOS on most watches, you may choose to replace your previous OS entirely or install it alongside the existing OS, called a 'dual-boot'. If you decide to replace your previous OS, it is advised that you make a backup of your userdata and boot partitions before flashing AsteroidOS. A potential drawback of Astro Gold is that some of the best features do not work on older Macs that cannot run the newest version of Mac OS. I cannot print transits lists from my 2010 iMac, and that’s a bummer. Learn more at astrogold.io. Solar Fire ($$$, Windows).

* Ignore the small not-summing-to-100% problem; I digitized the charts from powerpoint figures, and didn’t click with fantastic precision.

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Test your (retro!) piloting skills

Pilot a spaceship through 10 zones of randomly spawned asteroids. Use your dodge-roll maneuver to make it to the spacestation. Easy to pickup, difficult to master, every movement counts!

------Featuring------

- 3 difficulty options!

- Over 20 color palettes!

- 2 ships to choose from!

- 10 zones!

- Flight and dodge action!

- Simple controls!

- Easy to play, difficult to master!

- From relaxing to chaotically high tension!

- Retro low-res pixel art!

-------Goal-------

Collect the blinking crates (either one, two, or three, depending on difficulty setting) that spawn at regular intvervals, in order to proceed to the next stage. If you complete stage 10 you will reach the credits.

-------Tips-------

Flying ship #1 is a bit unwieldly, ship #2 even more so, but if you are moving forward or backward it is easier to maintain strict vertical movement control.

HUD Icon in top left corner indicates when your dodge-roll is ready to use.

When you dodge-roll you cannont change your velocity until the roll is complete.

You can still collect blinking crates while in a dodge-roll state.

Ship #2 is more difficult to pilot, but the Dodge-roll recharges twice as fast.

-------Controls-------

---Move---

WASD or Arrow keys or IJKL.

Left Joystick or D-PAD

---Action---

E or Space or U or Shift key.
