nearly 15 years ago on a group holiday, I did not pack enough t shirts and ended up wearing the same one for a number of days in a row. It is still brought up regularly in the group chat... (it was a distinctive T shirt tbf)

This story that I'd never heard before got raised during the meeting "...the worker then fired the remaining rounds into the Primary Mirror. The holes ... did not affect the quality of the telescope's images, only the amount of light it can collect." 👀

It's missing world-wide! Here is Spain it is impossible to get a not-too-bad quick meal from a supermarket. Everything is sit down, heat up meals. Also while travelling through France, I was unable to buy a piece of fruit anywhere near, on the train or in the stations!

Amen to that!
They’re such interesting objects, dynamic and ever changing. That’s why we should study them, observe them over and over and over!
