So, what have I been up to this week at the .Astronomy conference in Leiden, The Netherlands? And just what is .Astronomy? Who better to explain than those in attendance at the world’s largest (and only!) annual conference dedicated to exploring and sharing cutting-edge astronomy and the latest web technology. But trying to explain this wonderful conglomeration of amazing people, innovative ideas and avant-garde technology in just one word is difficult, as you’ll see.
Thanks to conference attendee Markus Poessel who created this video during Wednesday’s “Hack Day,” where everyone shared their talents and latest widgets and gadgets.
