And there it is. Just as I predicted. They’re canceling Congress tomorrow to avoid the vote on IMPEACHING @SecWar. It will also make it harder for us to reach 218 signatures on the Epstein Discharge Petition before the election. We were at 190+ signatures last night.

This is what happens if you put 60 satellites in LEO. Picture taken with a telescope at Lowell Observatory in Arizona. You need to re-think what you are doing otherwise amateur astronomy is dead #ElonMusk

.@elonmusk has plans to put 12,000 satellites into low Earth orbit — but scientists are concerned their transmission frequency will add too much 'noise' to the night sky. Flinders space archaeologist @drspacejunk spoke to @Forbes @Astro_Jonny bit.ly/2X9ljBv

I live in a dark sky site, by choice. IDA and others are doing what they can to bring awareness about terrestrial light pollution, and that is great. Here, my biggest concern right now is oligarchs scattering artificial stars across the sky simply to fill their piggy banks.

Regarding news about a fake photo, we want to reiterate something we are very passionate about: Falsely created or misleading astro images should not be tolerated or celebrated in any way. Even with a description, they misinform, offering only disservice. #astrophotography

A bit late processing this set but here is another view of Comet C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto) moving through Cancer on night from Feb 15 to Feb 16. Covers about 1 hour of real time. 85 x 3 x 16 sec RGB in Celestron 8" + 0.33x reducer.

The best write up I have seen so far of the discovery of Apep is by @abcnews! Awesome job by everyone in the ABC science wing, particularly @weulecoyote abc.net.au/news/science/2018…
