Today I want to share a few cool space resources that I've stumbled across. A thread.
@stuffinspace Stuff in Space is a realtime 3D map of objects in Earth orbit, visualised using WebGL and updated daily! stuffin.space
@poliastro_py is an open source Python package dedicated to Astrodynamics and Orbital Mechanics. github.com/poliastro/poli…
Speaking of #Python, @Microsoft have a mini online course dedicated to the role of Python in Space Exploration

As an Optical Engineer, I feel obliged to share something Opticsy... so the following is a brilliant resource on telescope optics. It might look dated, but it's a gold mine.

So you like APIs??
The Open Astronomy Catalog API (OACAPI) offers a lightweight, simple way to access data available via the Open Astronomy Catalogs
astrocats.space
@NASA's API portal (an obvious one) api.nasa.gov
API for a repository of rocket launch information and another on space news; both courtesy of @TheSpaceDevs thespacedevs.com
Finally, for those wanting to keep tabs on the @Space_Station: wheretheiss.at
Maybe you're hunting for PhD/Post-Doc/jobs in Astronomy?
Both the @AAS_Office jobregister.aas.org and the @EAS_astro eas.unige.ch/jobs.jsp have got you covered
