在进行了将近 1 年的时间後, stardust@home 计画已经完成了第一阶段的任务. (如果你还不了解这项计画, 请参见这里).
组织者说已经取得了巨大的成功, 特别是首次发现采集到了来自太阳系以外的固体物质样本微粒.
现在组织者准备重新处理图像, 以得到更大的图像分辨率, 新扫描的图片将可以发现更细微的星际尘埃轨迹. 这個新的计画即将上线!
由于要为第二阶段做准备, 7 月 27 日至 8 月 9 日, 虚拟显微镜 (VM) 将暂时下线, 不过你仍然可以进行训练和测试. . 网站的论坛也会照常运行.
暂时停止 Stardust@home VM 後, 星尘计画的第一阶段也就此结束. 参与者的分数, 排名等将被保留, 不会被清除. 新的 Stardust@home 第二阶段将在 8 月初开始, 更多信息请访问 http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1858.
a huge collection of data visualizations aiming to explore Major League Baseball teams' game scores going all the way back to 1814. scores from baseball games are "bivariate data", with each variate being one team's score. the distribution of baseball scores can be viewed from a bivariate point of view, & then be filtered by other attributes such as day of the week, day/night, month, starting pitcher & so on.
can anyone spot any interesting patterns apparent from these diagrams for the non-experts between us?

a real-time game based on oceanic exploration & shark research. online players take on the role of marine biologists who seek to learn as much as possible about sharks through advanced observation techniques. in the Shark Runners game, players control their ships, but the sharks are controlled by real-world white sharks with GPS units attached to their fins. real-world telemetry data provides the position & movement of actual great white sharks in the game, so every shark that players encounter corresponds to a real shark in the real world. ships in the game also move in real-time, so players receive email or SMS alerts during the day when their boat is within range of an encounter.
