    Thanks to Saskatchewan's beautiful night sky, my research background in small body orbital dynamics, and a couple of really unfortunately placed SpaceX reentries, I spend a lot of time yelling about satellite pollution in international news media.

  2. #MythologyMonday let's talk about King Lycaon...

    King Lycaon had 50 sons. He killed one of his sons & fed him to Zeus (because... idk something about wanting to test Zeus's omniscience... or something?)

    Zeus was so upset (which is sort of rich coming from this guy), he turned King Lycaon into a wolf.

  3. My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:

    Kate Bishop Hawkeye
    Merida from Brave
    Robin Hood

    ... but ultimately, who would be better than Legolas?!
