Finished: Count Luckner: The Sea Devil, by Lowell Thomas 📚. The (mostly?) true story of a German naval officer who commanded a sailing ship that the Germans used as a commerce raider in WWI. Very much written in the “boy’s own adventure” vein of romanticizing everything. A period piece, but fun.

Finished: To Climates Unknown, by Arturo Serrano 📚. I’m generally a fan of alternate history, but the technology in this one is so preposterous (17th century undetectable battle submarines? Atomic bombs without electronics?) that I just couldn’y get interested. Finished the book but will never re-read.

This Revolutionary New Telescope Will Observe the Whole Sky Every Three Days

Terabytes of data per night. I’m glad there are still things like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory being built to awe and delight me (well, and for other reasons, too).
