We're rolling out some new bespoke branding designed by the wonderful Janine Jochum in Vienna - you'll see the logos on the feeds and on our accounts change over time! These logos were handmade for us 🎨, and they replace the emojis we used before as temporary stand-ins across the project!

The Astronomy feeds have seen a big increase in both posts and number of authors over the past few weeks 🔭

The number of posts to the astronomy feed per day. It's a very spiky graph, with a big spike where the 2024 eclipse was! It has jumped from ~50 a day to ~150 a day in the past weeks.

The number of posts to the Astronomy feeds per month. It went from an average of ~1500 a month to 4000 a month as of last November.

The number of unique authors posting to the Astronomy feeds per month. It went from a stable ~250 to over 500 last month.
