@sundogplanets With those night skies I'd also want to look at them constantly. Beautiful.

@sundogplanets if I recall correctly, Hari used to do excellent talks at Space Place in Wellington just by my apartment there!

@sundogplanets Wow, gorgeous intergalactic view! There's lots of reasons I want to go to New Zealand and/or Australia someday, but night-sky watching is probably at the top of the list.

@sundogplanets WOW. What a great sky! And the LMC and SMC. So cool.

@sundogplanets these are great pictures

@sundogplanets Those are gorgeous skies! I would be completely disoriented, I've been to a few dozen countries but never the southern hemisphere.

(Did you hear France launched 32 Amazon satellites today?)

@sundogplanets that's some gorgeous night sky

been a couple years since I was far enough away from big city night to see such myself, jelly

Also I stayed up way too late, and woke up too early, and I have to give another talk tonight in Wellington: https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/scps/about/events/astronomer-vs-the-billionaires-space-race

But at least it's gorgeous here and this is my last night of rapid-fire consecutive talks before I head to Christchurch for my home base for the next 6 weeks (with a few more talks, but not 4 in 5 days in different cities like this week, phew) #ProfSamLectureTour
