StarFall is now publicly released! This open‑source project, developed by the Space Dynamics Laboratory with support from NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office, provides a near real‑time bolide detection and alert system.
StarFall ingests Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) L2 netCDF data from NOAA’s GOES satellites. Although the GLM sensors were originally built to detect lightning, they also capture the distinctive signatures of bolides.
This post details the setup and use of latexdiff and latexpand for tracking revisions in $\LaTeX$ documents. Revisions are tracked by first flattening $\LaTeX$ documents (with chapters, a reference section, etc.) into a single .tex file, and then comparing the differences between an old.tex file to a new.tex file. Let me know if you notice a typo or have suggestions in the comments below.
