The X-Files In The Stupidest Timeline
I do not believe that UFOs are aliens, but I was expecting some weird lightning phenomena or maybe an experimental weapon testing. Not a poor paint job from NASA.
During the last fortnight, I had a wonderful interview with Paolo Martino the project manager for the RAMSES mission. RAMSES stands for Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety, and when it comes to backronyms it is not too bad. It's a mission from the European Space Agency (ESA)

Join us in this unplanned video & audio diary as we go after the April 8 total solar eclipse in Mexico.
A brief timelapse of the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on March 3, 2023, as they come into view in the London dusk. The two planets are less than one degree part in the sky. 🤩

The battle against light pollution goes through policy and legislation. Certain regions of the world are actually in a better situation than you might think. While the road ahead is long, we talked to those who are paving the way.
For most people, a dark enough sky can only be accessed on holiday, away from cities. There is a growing movement of astrotourism, so we look into what that’s like, and how it helps the fight against light pollution.
You can’t save the dark skies without convincing people it matters, and education is crucial to this. Across the world, so many are working on that specific aspect, and we will hear from some of these extraordinary communicators in this episode.
This episode focuses on the impact of light pollution on our health and nature. How has anthropogenic light changed the world in less than two centuries? The full impact is not completely understood, but what we know makes for a very concerning tale.
In this introductory episode, we will be talking about dark skies and light pollution in general, and what some organizations are doing to protect the night sky, as well as some of the misconceptions about reducing light pollution.
A little rant on claiming aliens when it's just nature!
