Well, I stared off this week with more wondering and anxiety about our life from our burrows. How best are we to cope with the pandemic and other existential risks?

Trying to do QFT with another textbook; The noble mask lie! Where are all of the solar system probes? SETI and search for favorite asteroids; More Boca Chica views and SpaceX news; What color do you see?
Greetings from Palmia Observatory
Well I haven't been out for any astronomical observing for this whole week and so can only comment on ongoing physicist wannabe activities and on some of the online meetings and space news.

Beautiful Falcon 9 launch; More Starship news; Online OCA and SAS conferences; Physics and beauty and math and depression; Rise and Wine!
Greetings from Palmia Observatory
Well we were out early this morning (4:06 am) to see if the latest batch of Starlinks was going to be visible, but those darn high, thin clouds got in the way, so we have to wait for another day, but today we can still report on other SpaceX and physics news.

Hey, the sun has some spots now; Why is the universe so smooth? Falcon 9 booster on barge; Ways of making Starlinks darker; Hooray, the sunspot is visible! Fun at the beach, finally!
Greetings from Palmia Observatory
Well, the sun has woken up a bit and has a visible sunspot, so when the clouds thin out let's take a look, but while we wait we can report on other astronomy news, until, hooray, the clouds depart! Here is the screenshot from the iPhone app SoHO showing the now visible sunspot.
