The "No Math, Just Vibes" version of the passage of time for me is:
1984 = 26 yrs ago
1992 = 15 yrs ago
2000 = 10 yrs ago
2008 = 5 yrs ago
2016 = Also 5 yrs ago
2020 = Last Year
2021 = Also Last Year
2022 = The Present
2023 = 1 or 2 years from now
2024 = Next Year
2025 = The distant future

It’s hard to believe 1984 was almost twenty years ago now

Spider Webbs: Photograph of a lit jack-o'-lantern carved with Webb's characteristic segmented hexagonal mirror pattern overlaid with the shape of a spider. Next to the photograph are two stencils with instructions. One stencil is that used for the carving in the photo. The other stencil has a mirror pattern in the bottom-left that transitions to a spider web pattern in the upper-right.

My article for @theconversationus.bsky.social is out today! I had a lot of fun explaining protoclusters as little cities 🤓
Powerful black holes might grow up in bustling galactic neighborhoods
An astronomer and ‘black hole historian’ explains how the parts of the universe black holes grow in might influence how quickly they become bright, supermassive objects.
