Personal hobby project

2026 · Zeeland

Built around one practical question.

Project Polaris is a personal hobby project born from the desire to see quickly whether the next few hours will be suitable for taking a telescope outside. Starting with that question, Jordy de Jager and OpenAI are building a compact AstroStation that brings weather, sky and astronomy together on a dedicated display.
