Felines win in the battle between astrophotography and cats…
I posted this picture of my little friend Patchouli to the Facebook Seestar group, who decided to settle into the case for that smart telescope.
She got way more hearts and comments than any of the astrophotographs that I posted to the same group over the last few months. I guess I should not be surprised: she’s positively adorable with her little pink nose and pink paws. Perhaps I should abandon my nerdy and scientific endeavors if my goal is to “drive engagement” or “build a community.”
Okay, that’s not going to happen, but it does perhaps lend some perspective to the world. And frankly, it gives me a little bit of hope.
