Today CSE filed our Reply Comment with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission challenging Reflect Orbital's application to commercialize the night sky. We maintain that the FCC must uphold legal mandates by requiring a comprehensive environmental review before granting any authority that alters our shared nighttime environment.

As a stargazer, fuck you Elon and SpaceX. There will be a reckoning and when that day comes I hope we can find a plan to clear out those space junks. Space belongs to astronomers, not billionaire corporations.

A lovely day of #astronomy talks at the local school (as our usual spot, Kielder Castle, is being refurbished) and now sitting with friends in the warm room having drinks and swapping stories while the Seestar does its imaging for me. There’s a great community around astro and starcamps ✨

Lovely evening sky view from Kielder Starcamp. The tiniest sliver of a crescent moon is peeking out between the trees on the campsite. We saw a few planets earlier, and the sky is clearing up a bit so we should get some observing in as it gets dark tonight ✨ Super slow connection won’t let me attach an image yet…

You know what, there are worse things than being an “ island plunged into darkness under a total power blackout” at night. In some areas of the world, people pay good money to experience actual ‘darkness’; some areas have guaranteed ‘Dark Skies’ enshrined in their local power politics.
Personally, some of the most magical experiences of my life have been under the darkness of a night sky.
I hope Cuba can pull together enough hi- lo- alternate-tech to generate the power to run whatever they need to run & I hope Thump explodes under the force of his own lies, gasbagging & gaslighting.
