There’s a lot of chatter about things in the sky, so here’s a friendly reminder that the bright thing you’re seeing is almost certainly a planet. A lot of planets are up right now (this is the sky in Chicago at 6:30pm), and Jupiter and Venus are super bright!

In case you haven't seen it yet, movement is one of the most interesting and well engineered toolkits working with pose tracking data like from sleap.ai!

Strong recommend 🤙
