Image of a spider on the Anglo-Australian Telescope all-sky camera. Spider is on the left edge and appears twice the size of the AAT dome seen at the edge on the right.
Similar situation, but Australian vibes:

It only returns to the communities lucky enough to have societies with high-impact journals. Meanwhile, I (and many of my fellow Aussie astronomers) are now facing a reality where we can’t afford to publish: read&pub agreements have failed & grant funding is too limited to cover the costs.

Can I please have a cluster?! I gave a tutorial yesterday to my 3rd yr stellar Astro class on clusters and isochrone fitting, so this is very timely 😁

Scrub a dub 🫧 ...except no scrubbing the delicate observatory optics!
We don't use cloths or lens cleaner to clean the giant camera lenses. Instead, our summit staff use a high-speed stream of carbon dioxide "snow" to push debris off of the glass surface.

Or screen print/paint/stencil on to an old shirt?
… i already had plans for this weekend but I guess I have new ones now. Will I ambitious start this craft project, get distracted/bored/tired part way through and then abandon it unfinished for several months..? Most likely.
