By 2040, ~40% of the images from Hubble Space Telescope, and more than 96% from new and future space telescopes like SPHEREx, ARRAKIHS, and Xuntian will be contaminated by internet satellite constellations.

absolutely love this quote in the introduction to Cosmos (Carl Sagan). How beautifully put… 🔭
INTRODUCTION The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced. Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate... Nature does not reveal her mysteries once and for all. - Seneca, Natural Questions, Book 7, first century

"But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders."

Charles Darwin, who sometimes dealt with a pretty bad case of the Mondays, was born OTD in 1809. 🧪 🦤

This quote is found in a letter to Charles Lyell:

The quote from the post, in Darwin’s near illegible scrawl.
