Just wanted to say I got to see @sundogplanets speak at the University of Auckland on Wednesday evening, and it was an eye opening (plus entertaining) talk about how #astronomy and the night sky is being ruined by massive satellite constellations. If you are in #NewZealand and have a chance to see her speak (there are talks scheduled across the country), go!
