Beer has broken the 600/- barrier in Diani. Don't worry, Diani standards haven't been abandoned: empty place, dull decor, cheap furnishings, sweat running down your face because the old buildings can't be adapted to air con. It's fun to sit there and hear the voices in your head.

I just found out there's a guy named Francis from Turkana who builds telescopes from scratch. That’s incredible. Talents like his rarely get the recognition they deserve in this country. Making reflector telescopes from local materials and grinding the mirrors to perfection

Kenyan police cornered peaceful protesters in a blocked alley, beat them up, then teargassed them. "Larry ukienda tutauliwa," one of them said. "If you leave, we'll get killed." Police brutality during protests against police brutality

Went to the Moon twice, flew in space 4 times, commanded Apollo 13 - Jim Lovell has died at 97. A superb, humble and inspiring man. Rest in peace.

A new image of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS yielded some serendipitous art. The Gemini South telescope observed the comet through 4 color filters. While tracking its motion, the telescope split the light from surrounding stars into little rainbows. noirlab.edu/public/images/…
