Perfectly clear skies here at the moment. Fingers crossed for the blood moon tonight. Is it going to be quite low on the horizon (it's very shortly sfter sunset, isn't it?) I might have to walk up the hill to the east of our house to see it if it is.

I hate you guys so much. The Sky is blue here right now, which is no fucking use. I'm starting to wonder are some of the more neurotic aspects of Irish culture and society are down to our iron age ancestors often having to wait until midday to be sure that the sun had actually come up.

Oh good god, what a carcrash.
Trump's press conference honouring the men of apollo did not go well. It went very badly off the rails indeed.

Long-read on SolarCity's under-delivery.
The company once controlled two-thirds of the residential market; now, according to the consulting firm Wood Mackenzie, its share is less than 7 percent. In the second quarter of this year, SolarCity installed only 29 megawatts of solar panels—far below the 10,000 megawatts in annual installations that Musk had promised. “Total implosion” is how one SolarCity insider describes it.

Heh. I did think about widening the franchise to Northern Hemisphere astronomers but wasn't sure where said celestial body would be in the North American/Western European skies at the present time.
Many thanks, UA. When there's a bright point in the night skies that isn't the moon or a plane (or firework, or helicopter, or drone...) it usually seems to be Venus.
