It’s that time of year when anyone wanting to have a go at being a Tudor with lots of creative, friendly people needs to reach out to Kentwell Hall with a quick letter asking for more information.

If you're intrigued but maybe a little bit intimidated, feel free to hit me up with questions.

Hi modest following—crummy intro but just noting that even if I only share reposts of the CDL IG that I am very much a real, if overextended, human being and hopefully will get around to sharing some lovely art history/reenactment content at some point too. www.instagram.com/cosmic_dista...

A brief update on my #CosmicDistanceLadder instagram with Tanya on the fires that have affected (one of our) home cities. (But the sky is much, much bluer today.) www.instagram.com/p/DEyx7o_OFLz

A #CosmicDistanceLadder on how Christmas in Australia is inverted in many ways from Christmas in the Northern hemisphere, and how the parallax differences were once important in climbing that distance ladder. www.instagram.com/p/DEExnvvRkCQ

post on the winter/summer solstice in the Northern/Southern hemisphere yesterday: www.instagram.com/p/DD1c47nIKJ2 (One can also refer to this solstice as the Southern solstice - the time of year when the Sun is at its southernmost, regardless where one is on the Earth.)

A new post by my co-author Tanya Klowden on our "Cosmic distance ladder" instagram, on the constellations on the ecliptic (most familiar to western astrology as the signs of the Zodiac), as viewed by native Americans prior to European colonization. www.instagram.com/p/DC8gvXXxtfw

Tanya Klowden and I have set up an instagram to record various #astronomy stories we have gathered during the process of writing a forthcoming book on the cosmic distance ladder. Our latest post, on the "mini-moon" that briefly visited our neighborhood, is now up: www.instagram.com/p/DC08k17xZqB
