Woken early by Felix Astronomicus and saw the sky was clear, so got a quick shot of the Moon. CFF135 🔭, #TeleVue 2.5x powermate, #Touptek 585 mono. Pleased that I got most of Hadley Rille. Best 100 frames from 1000 frame video. #astrophotography
Close up of the Moon showing the Apennine mountains, with Hadley Rille. The three major craters near the Apennines are Archimedes with lava filled floor, Autolycus and Aristillus. Following the sweep of the mountains you come to Cassini with A and B craters clearly seen. Then the Alpine Valley and Plato.

That is wonderful! Congratulations to both! I am considering it myself. School maths was so awful that I did not know until much later how interesting it was.

'Musk and the Reverse Dyson Sphere' - that would be a great title for an article, I think you should write it!

Emmy Noether: A Life in Mathematics - I haven't personally read it but I am struck by the good review on Amazon from a historian rather than a scientist, so it must be a good biog!

Less struck by another one where the title is "Einstein's Teacher," what a total "I AM STANDING RIGHT HERE" title
