We're all about dark skies here at the RAS so it's great to see a little hamlet in Suffolk earning special recognition for exactly that. 🔭 🌃
Thorington Street, which has about 40 houses, has become the first community in England to receive international dark sky status from @darkskyintl.bsky.social

Being a woman in the working world is just...forever managing fragile male egos coming at you from every direction. To the men I know and work with who are confident, secure and have stable self-worth: I adore you and am grateful for you.
