No. Florida is at the epicenter of space launches, so you guys are dialed in to that. We're dialed in to blueberry picking season.

When the spaceship didn't explode, I lost interest.

DUDE!!! I just witnessed the launch of the Inspiration 4!
I figured since it's clear and nighttime I'd go out and see if it was visible from down here in Tamarac and it was! This is the first launch I've been able to see since the Space Shuttle. I got pics too. I'll post them in a bit.

Famous comet 67P is approaching
One of the best-studied comets is 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The European Space Agency’s Rosettaspacecraft rendezvoused with it in August of 2014. Before the year ended, in a first, the mission had sent its Philae lander to the comet’s surface. Overall, the spacecraft traveled with the comet for two years. Comet 67P/C-G is currently approaching Earth, getting a bit closer and brighter each day. Observers are already aiming backyard telescopes its way, and more will seek this comet in the sky between now and its closest approach on November 11-12, 2021. There is no danger. At its closest, the comet will pass more than 38 million miles (61 million km) from Earth, between the orbits of Earth and Mars. But what fun to see this venerable comet through an earthly telescope! And it’ll be 67P’s closest approach for the next 193 years, until November 16, 2214.

Planet with iron rainfall is even more extreme than scientists thought
Droplets of iron rain fall from the sky at night on WASP-67b, a sizzling exoplanet about the size of Jupiter. Now, researchers have also detected calcium in the planet's atmosphere. This suggests the planet is even hotter than scientists expected.

This planets WASPs are more into fire and brimstone, than iron.
