Part of son et lumiere in York Minster. Seems they also are up to date about kilonovae & platinum..
Blackbirds got 60% cherries and now scoffed 90% of (netted) gooseberries. That's the reward for making wildlife friendly garden..
Gave Zoom talk on "Forgotten Women of Astronomy" to local U3A group. This demographic also gratifyingly vocal about treatment of women. As a side benefit they ended up learning more about astronomy than they bargained for .....
Short talk 'Comets in Art' to Diss Arts Soc. Culminating in Giotti Adoration fresco. 'Unfortunately' had to introduce lots of astronomy to explain the different contexts. Maybe the society didn't notice?
