@NigelNahous @JfkWhitlam I wish there were standards but various groups of astronomers don't agree. The best argument I've heard is from Bob Benjamin, who commissioned the famous Robert Hurt image of the Milky Way. He pointed out that starship navigation systems would be based on Sgr A* and ...

I have had so many great things happen in my career thanks to Unity. I remember using it for side projects, and now it’s the tool I wake up to every day. I’m looking forward to working closely together and I’m excited about this partnership!
