What is that light in the sky? The answer to one of humanity's more common questions may emerge from a few quick observations. For example -- is it moving or blinking? If so, and if you live near a city, the answer is typically an airplane, since planes are so numerous and so few stars and satellites are bright enough to be seen over the glare of artificial city lights. If not, and if you live far from a city, that bright light is likely a planet such as Venus or Mars -- the former of which is constrained to appear near the horizon just before dawn or after dusk. Sometimes the low apparent motion of a distant airplane near the horizon makes it hard to tell from a bright planet, but even this can usually be discerned by the plane's motion over a few minutes. Still unsure? The featured chart gives a sometimes-humorous but mostly-accurate assessment. Dedicated sky enthusiasts will likely note -- and are encouraged to provide -- polite corrections.

Someone hid tiny cows all over the office and it has absolutely made my day (although I’ve somehow managed to become the #1 suspect)

pre-pandemic vs now ✈️
i hardly recognise the person on the left who was very feminine, outgoing, & wore her heart on her sleeve. nowadays i like to keep my hair short & my friend circle small, + to have lil adventures around the world with my love (& otherwise just stay in) 💗

Pre-pandemic vs now ✨ I'm less depressed and tired, like to wear my hair down more often, and I'm also significantly lighter-skinned because I barely go outside anymore oopsie 🫣 also being a lesbian is now 60% of my whole personality 🤪

@desiree_niola I love the pricing systems at the food trucks and how it’s just vibes based, not food based.
