We used #Photon and #Nominatim #geocoding services to convert the textual place names into geographical locations and aggregated them on the #NUTS and #LAU levels to support usability of our data.

Geocoding the data was not simple. Many place names were entered into the Erasmus+ database manually resulting in diverse place names containing national spellings, typographical mistakes, character encoding errors, and national scripts, which required manual corrections.

Just to be sure, now that Komoot has been sold … 🙄

Because yeah, while most of you are afraid of losing the routes available on the platform, I'm afraid of losing a great geolocator (and also the one we're using for business).

You might be as surprised as I was when I heard that it really takes a #photon between 10,000 and 170,000 years from its origin in the core of the #sun to the surface of the sun.

Read the whole story on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Sunl

... and discover even more amazing facts such as:

"Theoretical models [...] indicate a maximum #power density [...] of approximately 276.5 watts per cubic metre [...] which is about the same power density inside a #compost pile." 😲

What would you guess how long it takes for a single #photon that is produced in the core of our #sun to reach the surface of the sun? (no peeking!)

Hint: from the surface of the sun to earth, a photon flies about eight minutes.

(Answer + explanation will be published after end of this one-day survey.)
