A screenshot of the "The Farthest" title art. The text is in a narrow font over an inky black background full of stars and part of the milky way. A rendering of voyager sits prominently in the center.

As I’m laid up with COVID I finally had a chance to watch “The Farthest” documentary on PBS. It covers the Voyager project from the very beginning to the piercing of the heliosphere as Voyager entered interstellar space. Really great interviews and emotional highs and lows of one of the most incredible things humans have done (all with technology from 1972).

You can watch it directly on PBS’s site: https://www.pbs.org/the-farthest/

A photo of the night sky over the Pacific from Oceanside, CA in the direction of comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS. It can just be made out in the center of the image.
Over the Pacific off the coast of Oceanside, CA (it’s faint and roughly in the center of the photo, zoom in)

This is by far the best map I’ve found for the eclipse! https://eclipse-explorer.smce.nasa.gov/

A clear night sky taken in astrophotography mode. Thousands of stars around a bright Jupiter. There is a faint streak to the left of Jupiter which is the only Geminid meteor I caught in an image.

Congrats India! I’ve played enough Kerbal Space Program to know how challenging it is to land on the Mun…I mean Moon. Well done!
