I met @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social during his first visit of Paranal in May 2017. I was just getting up after many observing nights, going to the gym probably.. Christine was the head of logistics. It's cool when talented artists visit, I miss that (and the southern skies, the colleagues @eso.org).

Drive to Goddard today, had a meeting about the Roman Coronagraph with an esteemed colleague, discussed awesome Webb observation with another amazing collaborator, ate at a Greek food truck and finally went to see the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope in the high-bay clean room. 1/2

I was sick of deactivated QR codes (from free generators) so with the help of chatGPT I made one and posted it on Github, there is a prompt version too and you can include a logo.

I’m lost, too many new platforms. I miss Facebook of 2008-2012 without all the garbage sponsored posts and with the excitement of finding new/old friends. Also I love you astronomers but I want more than you otherwise we have slack and astrodon.
