🚀🪐 "Sky Map 2000" tries to be a celestial guide but ends up as a cosmic mess of options and settings that even a seasoned astronomer would find dizzying. 🌌🤯 With its endless menus and never-ending list of features, you'd think navigating the stars required a PhD in astrophysics—or perhaps just a degree in patience. 📜🔭

"Jodrell Bank Observatory, the hub of a world-leading network of #radio #telescopes, is facing closure after #Government #funding for the #facility was slashed. The deep #space #observatory includes the Grade I-listed Lovell #telescope & is prized by #astronomers who study #galaxies, #blackholes, #star formation, #planets beyond the solar system & the afterglow of the #BigBang."
