I've been asking this question for what seems like years.
Thank you for giving me an answer I can understand.

Any constellations you can see year round look the same winter & summer, which are viewpoints about 2x93 = 186 million miles apart. So anywhere in the inner solar system should be similar. Beyond that, as you traveled much farther out things would gradually look different.

pompous actor: "... I've got polyps on my vocal chords, brought on by 'tmt' -- 'too much theatre.'

this photo makes me ask, again, if the constellations we name & identify from earth would be recognizable from 'outer space'?
It was cold out in that field at 4am this morning!
But worthwhile just to get my own unimpressive photos of interstellar comet 3I/Atlas. 🔭

the opening sentence in the VICE article made me laugh right out loud at the breakfast table.
Upon reading the article I finally understand references to 3I/ATLAS which I've heretofore seen only in defiant comments re: NASA Insta posts (Mars photo: "fake! AI! why can't we get a clear photo of 3I!")

Interstellar is a Christmas movie. While they're on the knee-deep water planet 23 Christmases happen.
The original "Planet of the Apes" is a Christmas movie. In the first ten minutes alone it has like 2,000 Christmases.

I love this -- I had to dodge horses *and* cyclists crossing into the park in the mornings when I was in Lon -- I mean, Paris -- last!

Noon at Hilltop. 65F with a ton of haze over Palos Verdes. No lizards, boids or doggos. No ice cream truck, either. Just a few people at the overlook and on the grass. It's been a slow week so far. I managed one shaky lap around the circular path, so that's something, I guess.

3.1-mile training #run this morning at the Berkeley Marina. Pretty cold -- around 46 degrees -- but when you sign up for 10k's you gots to do what you gots to do!
My rule when I lived in Michigan was, if it was so cold your teeth hurt, you didn't have to run.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
