We are all about space exploration at FUZE! 🚀 Fun fact: Zubi Flyer's shape was inspired by a flying saucer! 👾
The Toucan and the Cluster is famous for hosting spectacular sights! But the southern constellation of Tucana (The Toucan) also possesses a variety of unsung cosmic beauties, such as this open star cluster located within the Small Magellanic Cloud just under 200,000 light-years away.
Open clusters are collections of stars weakly bound by the shackles of gravity, all of which formed from the same massive molecular cloud of gas and dust. Because of this, all the stars have the same age and composition, but vary in their mass because they formed at different positions within the cloud.

On August 21, 2017 many on planet earth will have the rare opportunity to witness a Total Solar Eclipse. How rare, exactly? Well, it depends literally where on earth you are at a given point in time. If you reside primarily in the United States, then your last chance to have seen a Total Solar Eclipse was February 26, 1979. And, the next time you will be pulling out your solar eclipse glasses won't be until August 12, 2045!
The Zubi Flyer is the bomb dot com for makers: 5 PWM pins, 12 DIOs as well as hardware serial connections Rx and Tx. Running at 16MHz and 5V. The onboard switch-mode boost regulator is designed to operate on 3 Volts. Power can be supplied from a 3 Volt CR123A battery or from a USB cable that provides regulated +5 Volts DC to the board. Do not run any power exceeding 5 Volts as the regulator cannot handle step-down voltage.
