On October 17, 1604, the famous German astronomer Johannes Kepler started his observations of the 1604 supernova, named after him as Kepler's Supernova or Kepler's Star. Special about this 'new' star was it being the very last observed supernova in our own galaxy, the milkyway.

394 years ago, famous astronomer Johannes Kepler discovered the 3rd and also last of his planetary laws, and concluded the general revolution of our celestial world that started with Nikolaus Kopernikus about 100 years earlier. And that made him rather popular as he still is today. Did you know that there is a Kepler crater on the Moon, a Kepler crater on Mars, a Kepler asteroid, a Kepler supernova, of course there has to be a space mission named after him, even an opera
As computers become more powerful, they are better able to provide answers to increasingly complex scientific questions. Unfortunately, answering these questions comes with significant costs: scientists become intimately familiar with hardware platforms, learn specialized languages and data formats to efficiently represent results, and actively shepherd their simulation runs to identify and correct potential problems as early as possible. In practice, this means computational scientists spend significantly more time managing their data and babysitting their runs rather than doing science.
