One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!
We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy

FBI informant who lied about Biden 'bribes' pleads guilty
A former informant has pleaded guilty to lying to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about a fake bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.Alexander Smirnov, 44, also admitted tax evasion after not reporting more than $2m (£1.58m) in income.
His claims became the basis of an impeachment investigation in Congress which centred around the false claims that the Bidens made millions in bribes from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.
But Smirnov admitted he made the story up, and pleaded guilty in Los Angeles on Monday as part of an agreement with prosecutors.

Black and white photography. A stony cliff is taking up the right half, the top of the cliff is visible. The ground underneath is bright and looks like a sandy surface. The background is purely black.
A watermark at the bottom reads:

This is such a nice read. This is EXACTLY what I always say about operationalization and quantification: it's about what travels.
"Quantification, as used in real-world institutions, works by removing contextually sensitive information. The process of quantification is designed to produce highly portable information, like a letter grade."
