One of the best parts of my academic committee work is that I get regular meetings with @planet4589.bsky.social, who is a lovely human and has the best public database on launches and reentries https://planet4589.org/space/index.html
The worst part is hearing all the stuff that happened in orbit since the last time we met.... A few highlights from today's meeting:
-There are now 10,049 Starlink satellites above our heads. More than 1,500 have already been burned up in Earth's atmosphere.
I still need to buy new lights (and some large-ish softboxes), but my new backdrops and holder arrived!
Slowly getting things ready to do nice photography of my glass over the next few months 🎉 - but for now enjoy a couple of recent pieces with some very awkward lighting.
