on today's show 100,000 Wikipedia articles just got a whole lot more visual thanks to a cool new website britain's first sci-fi film has been restored and re-released and we're gonna tell you how you can see it and a very clever enthusiast has figured out how to use a DSLR camera to see exoplanets oh cool that's pretty awesome too exoplanets tomorrow daily grading system yet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley skillet join me as always kill anonymous real quick forget the stories every single time there's that break that little intro break with the music as she always says a joke I have to do my heart is not till like laughing yeah bag we need to say your face is an exoplanet but I know that began amine and weird dad jokes alright so but enough of that let's hit the headlines okay so i came across this website and i thought it was really cool what they did with it so this there are 4.6 million English entries in Wikipedia their sport for there's over 4.6 million and this French computer science student named Owen kornek launched this website called wiki galaxy and what it is is it's a visual representation check out this video of Wikipedia or at least a hundred thousand wikipedia articles what as if it were space so here's that's what it looks like that's the visualization of a hundred thousand wikipedia articles that you can navigate through as if you're flying through space whoa it is really really cool and so yeah it's it kind of a three-dimensional you can do like kind of these fly throughs and when you click on a particular star that's a topic so you it's a topic and so you click on it and on the website you get to see the Wikipedia article on the left and then there's related articles on the right and the really cool part that I like is that once you click on a few different things you know how sometimes you fall into the black hole of Wikipedia yes just like you fall into a black hole of YouTube now it's literal and so now it's literal you could actually like fall into a black hole of Wikipedia online and the really neat part is is you can click on your history and it'll show it to you as if it was a constellation like it connects all the dots that you were checking out I surely that's amazing and so there's only a hundred thousand wikipedia articles in there right now yeah but he says it's in beta uh-huh but when it goes gold so when it launches officially it's gonna have every he wants to have every wicked PD article is he looking for money I don't know what the endgame here I think it's just a really cool I mean he said he is a computer science student and I think this is just a really great cool project that he's launching I don't know that he would be able to monetize it cuz Wikipedia also doesn't they don't make any money donations run so uh two questions for you okay first one have you tried it yeah I tried it this morning and early results I just randomly like zoomed in and clicked on the first thing I saw and it was a gambling and then and then on the right I saw it was you know blackjack and poker and there was all these different types of gambling and then there was also like loan sharking and like just you know random things that are related okay and then you click on those it takes you to the nearest like they're they're clustered pretty close together and then they also have like sort of kind of sections of the wiki galaxy that are set up to where it's like oh here's this collection of things that all kind of go together what's really neat I mean it's really fun to check out and play with if you have second question hey does tomorrow daily have a Wikipedia page I don't believe so no we don't have a reddit either in case anybody was feeling crazy like that I don't okay season you don't have Wikipedia pages we have to invent something that's true well and also I mean listen you guys like we're not we're not weirdo self-promoters and we know the rules of reddit likes going too far absolutely cannot start on yeah I know you this is against the rules of reddit but if anybody else wanted to because you loved the show so much I mean I would visit think about you could be the king of tomorrow daily the reddit pain the mayor just like Foursquare you check in so many times you're the mayor of the tomorrow daily reddit yeah and that's where you can push your font ography yeah your photog rafiq post links I article ideas this is got a stuck pig it anyway I'm stuff I mean it's all hypothetical of course let me tell you about message from Mars okay I want to hear about this is this is a story that I have for you today message for Mars is message to markets are better it's a letter that I got no I think it's met a message from Mars growing growing address yes message from our sorry the lower third says message to Mars is the oldest British full-length sci-fi movie Oh from 1913 now Wow look at the story here is they've restored it and released it for free so you can watch this they restored it from two shorter editions and one that was tinted so it's it's pretty impressive that they're able to restore it the story is it's kind of like a christmas carol it's about a Martian exiled to earth with the mission to change the heart of a selfish man and this is according to British films the ghost of Martian pass yes yeah so the BFI national archive and dragon digital work together restore the movie think from the two shorter films of all I know if anything if you're if you're a sci-fi fan it's always great to see how they what they thought of sci-fi in the past yeah well there's always social comics travel like there's all kinds of transference there's all kinds of like really for the time like very radical concepts of what Martians would be like like I just think that's really neat yeah and you remember the one was it mission to the moon or whatever where the the spacer was the reason I the moon landing oh yeah i forgot the that was a good one as a good cooperate was extended edition yeah but anyway so through the if you're in the UK you can go to the website and check that out for free give us a review if you do on you know somewhere yeah here's the thing guys we can't we cuz we cannot see it over here there's no we don't have the like region there's region restrictions so so we can't see it let us know how it is I sure watch Doctor Who on the internet via BBC you like you can't yeah unless you're in the UK they're like sorry might I think that's a sure no I know guess Australia oh you do not on that yeah I think you're just discussing our love of British accent oh no yeah I'm so hard about we see always had British children's sounds smarter than us already yeah yeah um but yeah I'm sure some some you know motivated characters on the internet probably already figured out a way around the region I would love to see it yeah but yeah I'm starving so you see it let us know that's like an I apologize for my terrible terrible impression you know what that's what you get here into our daily terrible impressions and kasim don't remember that a geek stuff is great third let me tell you about this guy so in the spirit of DIY as we were discussing yesterday this guy also got really creative his name is David Schneider and he wrote up this really great how-to on creating an exoplanet detector that does not require a high-powered telescope or a research grade detector which is DIY yeah she's pretty great um and he actually he posted this whole video on I eee spectrum which is great and he's explaining like how we detect exoplanets which is we look at a SAR and then a lot of times an exoplanet will cross directly in front of that star and that's how we know it's there because the light from the star gets dimmer and then that's how we sort of know that something is crossed around and if it's you know cyclical if it's in orbit then we know it's probably an exoplanet so kind of neat so this guy took his canon rebel XS DSLR which is not exactly a super high power DSLR it's kind of older camera he picked up a 300 millimeter Nikon telephoto lens on ebay for about a hundred bucks like a little less than hard bucks an adapter for the lens for 17 bucks and then instead of buying an expensive star tracker which is what he's showing right now is what he ended up building which is kind of this it's kind of barn doors that sort of change shape and he built this with some plywood and some other hardware like gears from an inkjet printer a driver board an Arduino and like a few other things and so it keeps up with so here's that's without tracking and then that's with so you can see obviously like you have to be able to track the movement of our planet so that you can get clear pictures of the stars so then what he did was he specifically there is a star the one that they're showing right now which is eight star HD 189733 we already know there's an exoplanet their crosses in front of that star and so he wanted to see if he could actually detect that exoplanet with this rig that he set up so here's his calculations here and you can see there's a dip in brightness so on the side you can see relative magnitude it does dip because almost exactly what you would detect it was 28 to like the a difference is in brightness is it almost exactly what the actual difference is officially from things like high-powered telescopes oh yeah he built it himself he was inspired he saw somebody else do something similar and said gosh what if i took my DSLR and started looking for exoplanets pretty awesome yeah that's pretty cool is he a teacher or something uh uh you know I'm not sure um but he's uh he's just like I mean from what I saw in the video he's just he's super enthusiastic about um you know stargazing and he really wanted to see it just if he could do it which I always like I like this like I'm just gonna do this to see if I can yeah I recommend you check out the video cuz he explains it really well what an exoplanet is yeah yeah he does he he really liked and he walks you through the entire build in life you haven't screwing it out with the pumpkins yeah that's a plan when those pumpkin grows on ya know he's greatness yeah it's awesome those his teacher um I should mention we forgot our hashtag of the day what is it was just a really good one our question of the day our hashtag days TD sci-fi tease that fine okay and the question is if you could like remaster or even reboot a sci-fi movie before nineteen eighty what would it be yes let me think of that one you never think about it yeah i would say i would want to see x i'm a sucker for like 1950s be like sci-fi movies yeah so i'd have to say like attack of the 50 foot woman okay i have to go with like that's pretty good or attack of the killer tomatoes or i think i think that would be great it's just restored not being remade i don't i wanted to go with reboot honestly like restored into like 4k like if we could just restore a nice old sci-fi like what would it be I'm metropolis oh that's a really good thing my beacon I guess I'm they just like restored it or whatever yeah I think they like okay I'd go with the classics I'll go with a remake but my candy yeah Andy remake so that's not like screwed up by the machine yeah by the man the expedia I mean I ruin it let's give it to the man who ruin it yeah I can make it ND put it to like make it mobile court all right come on okay mumblecore metropolis that's what we're getting out of the show today we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back we have a pretty delightful set of new releases this week and then your user feedback so don't click away sera daily welcome back welcome back to the show we have returns um you know I feel really bad for that TIE fighter that crashed into the highway in Germany just what a tragedy I'll get insurance uh yeah that's true I guess the Empire is

and you said I said I said it's amis hand cannon Oh with like you know like rover man shooter oh very good pin wrote to us via email and said low-orbit satellite launch platform use four sets of helium filled heavy-duty garbage bags bags attached to four corners of a large steel cabinet door from which to launch a large model rocket whose payload is a smartphone with a webcam app rocket launchers triggered by pressure gauge uses an altima tur to measure platform height yes there's so much smarter than us it's very upsetting maybe we should go take finals do you feel like we maybe

tomorrow daily team this is someone who actually made something oh well tomorrow daily team I've attached a few snapshots of my articulated arm iPad mount I've been meaning to post this somewhere just because of how often I use it it is both the ultimate tool of laziness solves the sore arms of holding a tablet while in bed and the greatest tool for productivity great for photography wireless tethering etc while in the kitchen are working in a hospital or lab there are lots of applications all the components i use to make it are available as separate products on amazon and it just locks together he put that together Wow but yeah he also made the the learning chamber to that's all the learning chamber he says PS keep up the great content and presentation this is the closest thing to learning pod without going over he means our show or that really cool iPad holder but like I'm into it either way yeah I dig it by the way all so much respect for your meticulously clean room like that so all the whites were white and there was nothing on the counter yeah like fresh water are you at a hotel is that hotel he's like listen I need to go rent a hotel room for an evening just like

always and now it's time for our last pc user feedback which is our phone time for the day so this comes from glenn k and he says I like new perspectives that explains why i like your show i often stop perspective shots just to see things in a different way I've bloated two new photos to my folder dedicated just to tomorrow de Leon Wow the first shot is winter needles that's on the left area Logan's got it in full screen I had a coffee and bagel in my hands when I saw the frosty needles in a tree and I just took the photo with one hand I didn't check the shot until later and was more than happy when I saw how well it came out that's really nice that is really cool he says the second shot 3d vase was just Vaz 3d Baba's yeah it was just me putting my phone into a 3d printed Vaz and taking a shot I love how the light catches the layers of the filament I work at a university library and coordinate art and 3d printing as part of my job and I try to show how 3d printing can be used for artistic purposes as well as the science and design we usually use it for no manipulation of the photos iphone 6 years must a loved yesterday's episode address yeah I was really I thought about that too I was like oh man like the dress yeah come on is all about it oh yeah I mean not that you're gonna wear it Glen but I mean maybe you buy it for a nice lady that you know is what I'm saying
