Our paper on the Herschel simulator is now listed with MIT's Leonardo (@leonardoisast). It's mostly about boredom, but the paper itself is exciting :) doi.org/10.1162/leon_a…

@HerschelMachine @LeonardoISAST Enjoyed John Mulligan's talk at the HAD Herschel meeting. Question: Can John Mulligan briefly trace any connection between the vertical sweep method of the Herschels and the rise of transit telescopes? Thanks.
