3I/ATLAS Update: would you believe it? It’s *still* a comet. 🔭
(www.virtualtelescope.eu/2025/11/11/i...)
Why are planetary scientists, astrobiologists and and SETI scientists so negative (pissed off, even) about Avi Loeb’s repeated claims that 3I/Atlas may be an invading alien spaceship?

New morphology in the tail of comet 3I/Atlas will inevitably be spun by the quack Avi Loeb as some evidence of alien activity. This is nothing new, we've seen similar behavior in other comes including 17P, C/2016 R2, and C/1961 R1, and others. It's ionized carbon monoxide. #3I #3I/Atlas #Comet 🔭

If you're still using conda, pyenv, or... basically any other tool, then I can *highly* recommend switching:

🌟 Comet 3I/ATLAS brightens rapidly! 🌟
As it reached perihelion on Oct. 29, spacecraft watching the Sun saw a sudden surge in brightness. Scientists expect it to emerge from solar conjunction much brighter and easier to see from Earth. 🔭

Sorry, but interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS really is a comet, not aliens Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS are exciting, but there is no reason to claim that they are evidence of alien spacecraft – sometimes a comet is just comet, says Robin George Andrews

One of the things that I've learned over the years is to work to create simple versions of my maps. Here is one out to 500 pc that I use as part of a star show in my new VR world launching at the end of the month.

Many English placenames contain 'mere', a word that's not often used anymore. It means "body of standing water".
'Mere' is closely related to German 'Meer', whose meaning is now "sea" but used include "lake". Conversely, Dutch 'meer' now only means "lake".

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, leader of Brazil, gave a brave, empassioned anti-autoritarian speech at the United Nations. Worth a listen. His speech sounded very pointed at the Trump regime - from pedophilia to Alaska meeting. "We are experiencing a time of global polarisation".

Por outro lado: imagina precisar aos 80 anos dizer de novo o que se disse aos 25.
Imagina ter uma fatia da população querendo uma ditadura como a de 1968.
E os populares de hoje querendo tchu, tcha e golpe.
🇧🇷 Na manifestação contra a PEC da Blindagem e o PL da Anistia, Chico Buarque e Gilberto Gil cantam “Cálice”, música feita na ditadura como um paralelo a “cale-se” para driblar a censura.
A canção se tornou um símbolo da resistência contra a repressão e marcou gerações.
