My first shot with my Theta SC. When I cropped the bottom with the Flickr editor, it is no longer displayed as a panorama. I think Flickr should be able to 'understand' that it is still panoramic.
Cropping the bottom will be routine, to get rid of my hand, head or tripod.
I also wish Flickr would understand Photosphere metadata.
When shown as if a normal wide-angle shot, it looks OK, except that the circle is split open right through the cabin.

I merged Chung Chu's Theta image to the lower part of this photo to cover up my hand and fingers. Image looks much better now. Thank you very much John (Chung Chu)!

The Theta Virginis star system contains four stars, two of the stars are too close for me to separate with my telescope but the other two are easily seen next to the unsplit primary stars. One of the stars (B component) is like our sun (just a little larger) and it is easy to imagine what it would be like living on an Earth-like planet circling it. Strangely in this Solar System, our sun-like star is itself circling a distant close double-star (a subgiant star and a dwarf star). Our sun would complete a loop around the double-star every 7,800 years. Also hanging in the sky is a fourth distant sun, that like our sun-like star, is also circling the double-star. This dwarf star is much further from the double-star than our sun-like star. It takes 230,000 years for this dwarf star to make a complete loop around the double-star. What a strange looking sky it would be to see four suns rise and set each day.

Theta, a next-generation Cray/Intel system, will help bridge the gap between Mira and our ALCF-3 machine Aurora.
Theta is based on the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor (code name: Knights Landing (KNL). The system will have over 2500 nodes, each with a KNL 60-or-more-core processor having up to 16 GB of high-bandwidth in-package memory (IPM) and 192 GB of DDR4 RAM.
The aggregate peak compute speed will be over 8.5 PFLOPS. It will have an initial 10 PB Lustre parallel file system.
