Been distracting myself from the morning routine by looking at the live feed from the Samford Valley Observatory in Brisbane new observatory! On the one hand - it's a little white dot (not the biggest white dot onscreen) moving quickly across the black field.

On the other hand, that little white dot is bigger than a 15 story office building. And it's passing within the orbit of the Moon, passing within the orbit of geosynchronous satellites. https://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/302248484877238273/photo/1


Eat, drink, and be merry, folks... Be kind to each other, for this life is uncertain except for that it will end.
