Mike Read @astromike.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Yep - people are missing the whole point of astronomy/photography - getting people outside and reconnecting with the sky. The stronger the voice to stop sprawling light pollution the better. 0110
Mike Read @astromike.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I know - too much hype, Saturn is sitting on the horizon as is Mercury for me. Mar , Jupiter and Venus are “eye” visible. Neptune and Uranus - not a chance. 120
