Oh don't worry I'm not taking this lying down. Already reached out to the contact link on the JWST site and I can tell you right now that getting a mail back saying that they've logged my mail as INCIDENT - PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY and will be getting back to me as soon as they can is a goddamn trip.
I mean, loving NASA is mailing me back saying that they actually give a poo poo about this and want to communicate with me about it. Goddamn that makes the 4 hours of feeling mega hungover kinda worth it.

Just got a mail from NASA. They want to contact me further to ask for more feedback and insights about my epilepsy and how to mitigate the issue.

I'm just gonna spend a little while going absolutely apeshit over here because two weeks ago I was a nobody living on medical disability retirement and today I'm doing consultancy work for NASA.

That's really cool that not only are they taking the issue seriously, but instead of just slapping a warning before the images they're looking into the how and why. I guess it makes sense since they're all scientists and engineers and the "how and why" to them is basically porn, but still it's really cool.

Fully agree with Robobot; this is awesome !
Do you know what you're going to tell them ? Like, do you actually know what would need to be done to the images to make them less trigger-some ? (Sorry, I have no idea how epilepsy works, and I'm curious; feel free to not answer, obviously.)

Oh I got no problem spouting waves of words at them about my theories and potential changes. Got a whole thread going about that sort of thing after all.
But I'm gonna let them lead with how they want to approach this and not stuff them full of details and suggestions before they even open their mouths. A lot of my suggestions will also have to be tailored to the process and guidelines they use when they decide the color and richness of each given element in their images. From what I've understood of the process, they take an entirely infrared image (which would just be black to human eyes) and color each element a specific color based on where it is on the periodic table. Whether or not the richness and density is also determined by details observed in the image or just down to human input is not something I know.

They do different things with different images. Some map infrared to the visible spectrum directly, I believe. Eg, near IR becomes purple, far IR becomes red, everything else is in between. Others use spectroscopy data to highlight sections, like what you described. It depends on what they're studying.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I studied the trampoline. Also, the blade. And a couple oranges

I know from personal experience that playing with blades on the trampoline is a good way to get a hole in your trampoline (and make your brother shout at you).

Its even more impressive considering that's a mall-store stainless steel katana, and just as likely to break apart and dive into one of his arteries as it is to cut fruit.

I see an impressive future in tele-shopping marketing for this extreme Ronin.

It's a zoom-and-pan on footage that was originally shot on a stationary camera, so I'm guessing there's a little warping on the edges due to the wide-angle lens.

It's going up and going down, like all objects, but that means it's nearer to the camera, which is adding a LOT of distortion as the object approaches.

It is on an arc that is basically being viewed from the top and side; you can get a better sense of the trajectory looking at the shadow of the ball.

No, what's freakish is that loving hustle goddamn.
