The East Asia meeting of the International #Occultation Timing Association or #IOTA took place in the last few hours - here are all 6 1/2 hours of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-BL8qxNc2w with the program in https://www.perc.it-chiba.ac.jp/iota-ea/wp/iota-ea-fy2025-26-annual-general-meting-latest/ (includes the invited lecture "New challenges in the #Hayabusa2 extended mission").

Comment les institutions [qui mentent] filtrent les suspicions d'inceste ?

"Véritables filtres entre les services de terrain et le procureur, les professionnels de la CRIP [Cellule de Recueil des informations préoccupantes], des travailleurs sociaux pour la plupart, évaluent, eux, non pas les faits suspectés, mais les suspicions. Ils décident (ou non) de les transmettre au substitut (du Procureur de la République] pour l’ouverture d’une enquête de police. Ils doivent rester prudents."

"Sans propos directs de l’enfant, les professionnels de la CRIP, embarrassés, sont pris entre des professionnels de terrain inquiets pour un enfant et des substituts exigeants sur la nécessité, la faisabilité et la chance de réussite d’une enquête de police. Ils interrogent la qualité de la suspicion. […]

"Deux travailleurs sociaux évaluent donc la situation de la famille concernée, mais sans pouvoir interroger la suspicion d’inceste, prérogative exclusive de la police. Ce qui les place, à leur tour, dans l’embarras, puisque cette suspicion d’inceste reste à l’origine de leur évaluation."

The Taurids continue this week, Mercury makes an appearance under bright Venus after sunset, and the First-quarter Moon sits in Capricornus tonight. Also this evening, Jupiter's moon Io has its shadow cross the planet's face from 8:51 to 11:03 p.m. EST, followed by Io itself at 9:34 p.m. with the Great Red Spot transiting at 10:19 p.m. Sunday the moon cozies up to Saturn and actually occults the planet if you're south of Florida. The Full Beaver Moon is next Friday. See your Universe! https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-november-8-17/

An update about the star #occultation by asteroid #Leona on 13 September was just given at the #ESOP 42 conference in #Armagh: chords were observed successfully from 17 (!) different sites in Spain, and a paper about what was learned will become available early next week! More sites than expected saw the star disappear (e.g. Calar Alto was expected to miss it but didn't), so Leona seems to be bigger than thought - but whether it will cover #Betelgeuse completely in December is still not clear.
