And last but not least, HOLY SHIT the stars were fucking incredible last night!!!! (No auroras visible from here but the stars were so good who cares)
(Lots of satellites, of course. Sigh.)
Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics
I guess I am proud of myself? (They are, indeed, fuckweasels, for their complete lack of care for the atmosphere that we all depend on, as well as not caring about Kessler Syndrome, or light pollution, or smashing people on the ground...)
"In support of open science, PLOS Biology routinely asks authors to openly share their research code before publication. We are now formalizing this practice with a mandatory code-sharing policy and clarifying what we talk about when we talk about code."

Here we have part of the #MilkyWay.
Near the centre we have #Crux, the #SouthernCross, along with the #CoalSack.
Now to share a bit of what I have learned about how the traditional custodians of where I live call things.
Pretty much everywhere the Coal Sack is the head of Wetj, the Emu.
In #Whadjuck #Noongar lands, Crux is Waalitj, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle, but in #Yued lands Crux and the Pointers are Yongka - the kangaroo, with Crux forming the head, and the Pointers being the front paws.
