An international group is organizing an observing campaign through the Citizen Science Working Group of the #LUMIO mission: LUMIO is an ESA space mission to observe lunar #impact flashes (LIFs) from space, on the lunar far side (https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/Technology_CubeSats/LUMIO).

To encourage more ground-based observers to try similar observations, on the lunar near side, we invite you to participate to the "LIF Geminid Campaign (LGC)", monitoring the Moon for LIFs during the peak of the #Geminid meteoroid stream, 13-15 Dec 2025. During the maximum of the stream, the number of visible impact flashes will be higher than during non-shower times, therefore there is a good chance of detecting at least some impact flashes.

Observations can be made using moderately-sized telescopes and a video camera. On the website https://lif.mi.imati.cnr.it/home_page.php there are now a recording of a thorough talk about the project and its slides at https://lif.mi.imati.cnr.it/open_item_page.php?item_idk=LDB-000000001 and slides about the preferred analysis software ALFI at https://lif.mi.imati.cnr.it/open_item_page.php?item_idk=LDB-000000002 -if you want to join in the LGC please sign on by 21 November.

So I did a thing, I wrote a short piece of what it's like to be the owner of home that has recently undergone solar install.

The solar industry has a lot of shady stuff in it, some good of course but not all of it. I haven't even discussed the alleged fraudster actions in the above article but may do that seperately.
