I met Vera Rubin years ago; she was a customer of mine. I took her credit card and said to her “Vera Rubin. Hmm.., why is the name familiar?” She said something like, I’m a scientist; you may have seen me on television. Very humble and kind to me, she was.
Are there possibly a few general searches that we amateurs could use for example direction (usa >30 deg) brightness (18+) supernovas?
Excellent small compact interview that gives you the understanding of data brokers and how to access the data
