2nd evening #astrophotography, first time with a Sky Watcher mount, my new Sony A7 IV and Sigma 400mm. Still very n00by, but I was amazed seeing Saturn's moons Ganymede, Europa and Callisto! Having watched #theexpanse, I know exactly what'll go down there in a few hundred years... 😄

I then went to try and shoot nebulae from my balcony in Zurich - but got nothing but light pollution.

The Expanse Season 5 (minor) spoiler

#TheExpanse season 5

The bit where Naomi jumps into space and her eyes start going all popping out and she goes all red and injects herself to stay alive ...

It's a bit daft, isn't it?

The show - which supposedly does space correctly - loves people hurtling themselves into space.

It's a bit too James Bond for my liking. The chances of success in those situations are so slim. It's just a bit too unbelievable for my liking.

I have my limits, dammit!

Maybe one episode they'll do that space hurtling thing but do it on a motorbike that will land in a helicopter or something.

Also, one thing I don't get. The ships don't have artificial gravity, right? But sometimes it looks like they do have artificial gravity.

And when they definitely don't have artificial gravity, they don't look like their in zero G. They'd have their arms floating all over the place. There's no gravity, you don't need them to fall by your side. In fact, it might take more effort to hold them by your side.

Another simple, logical thing from #TheExpanse is the shape of the shuttles (or skiffs) that ferry people between planetside and ships in orbit. Just a damn box with lower thrusters. No real fancy design. Get in, get out, go up, go down. Makes the show just that little bit more believable.

Unlike undersecretaries with voices that hit lower registers which can rattle solid oak doors, but hey. #agh #dash #loo
