It does!
Yeah I’m really liking it and awaiting next episodes to drop as well!

I still ask Max where Katie is now and then and he runs up to the room! 🥹

My dog, Max, whenever @astrokatie.com is in another room of our house, or out of the house.
They're like besties now, and he is following Katie everywhere from room to room lol
How quickly he forgot about me and even now crashes with her in the evening!

Like it is full on from the moment they get off the inbound plane, to the moment they get on the outbound plane.
I live here, have lots of family and friends, and am always busy with them during weekends, but my schedule is NEVER this busy. Like its just go-go-go + sleep.

Note - there is a Measles vaccine available across Australia!
Even if you were vaccinated when you were younger, if you get another round (2 shots, several weeks apart) it will not harm you, and boost your protection.
Measles is a *terrible* illness and you do not want it.

Tucana was named (and the name stuck) by Dutch explorers around the 1500s IIRC.
But this is a southern hemisphere constellation, and Indigenous communities in the global south have their own set of constellations too (you still need to use your imagination for most of them!)

It’s a very good test of General Relativity in the strong-field regime, and is used in many studies to constrain masses of these massive objects to really nice precision.
Here’s an example study of this:

In a nutshell when the pulses emitted by the pulsar come from behind the companion, they need to travel through the curved space-time that the mass of the companion creates and that manifests as a delay we can precisely measure.
Then by knowing this value we can compute masses of both bodies!
