I am toying with the idea of running an open, free (monthly? bimonthly?) virtual imagination book club, where we read and discuss a range of different writings on how we can better live and work with imagination?

Some stars speak not in light, but in radio. I just wrote about a newly discovered class of binary stars, what I call “radio polars”, first identified by Iris de Ruiter and her team. They were also explored by @astrobites.bsky.social in a recent article.
