*Comes back inside and picks up my "light reading" book on my desk for a brain-reset**remembers my "light reading" book right now is actually @adambecker.bsky.social's "More Everything Forever"**Walks back outside into the middle of the hay field*

I should add that the red colour is almost completely invisible to your eyes. But the greens were gorgeous and easy to see!! WOW.

Simulation based on code from https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/ac341b, scaled up to AST SpaceMobile satellite sizes. Note: not peer-reviewed for these very large satellite sizes, so it's probably not perfect. But the first one was ridiculously bright so it's probably not too far off. https://rdcu.be/drQOU

265. But it could be closer to thousands per month once they start launching Starlinks with the giant SpaceX rocket. Kessler Syndrome here we come!

@sundogplanets Next interview make a "mistake" and call it "Reflect Urinal".

Because everyone needs it, here's a picture of a rooster who has moved in with the 3 boy goats who have to be kept separate from the girls until breeding time. It's like their own little bachelor apartment, they all share their grain, and sometimes the rooster roosts on the goats!

Just after I got the goats back in, and was contemplating if I should go try to find the dogs on foot, on bike, or by car, the dogs reappeared after taking themselves for a short walk.Everyone is back where they should be, and I am going to go check on them like every 30 minutes for the rest of the day.I suspect it all has to do with Alice, the leader goat, being in heat and having ridiculous ideas about where she might find a buck. Hormones, man.

Haha ok I'm getting lots of concerned comments: this llama is incredibly sweet and friendly, he's just... really weird. Like run-toward-you-and-stick-his-face-in-your-face-because-he-wants-a-treat-and-then-won't-let-you-pat-him weird. He loves his goats and he loves new people. Super sweet but has incredibly weird ways of showing his affection.

Found a leafy spurge hawk moth caterpillar!These guys are gorgeous, and are also interesting: they have been introduced to eat an invasive species (leafy spurge), and they eat nothing else.

@sundogplanets Be careful, probably they are nesting (not nice).

Also there's a (very pretty) gigantic rabbit statue on campus and I feel like I should have noticed this before. Is it new? Or am I really just that overloaded whenever I'm on campus that I would miss a gigantic rabbit statue?!
