#comet_like#spacejunk Just noticed this comet like object that's moved over 25 degrees across the sky in the last approx. 10 minutes, and looking progressively nebulous with very low surface brightness.
@nimsdai What struck me the most was towards the end, you said "if it had been a western achievement, the media attention would have been much higher". It's a sad state of affairs. Happy to say that in my field (astrophysics) there is a good push towards equity. Change is coming, slowly..
