Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS visible September and October
https://www.universetoday.com/168058/comet-tsuchinshan-atlas-set-to-perform-this-fall/ Provided by Guy Turenne on the club Facebook page. This article is about Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, which will be in the sky during September and October and will hopefully get brighter. How good will it look? We’ll have to wait and see, but Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero managed to get a glimpse and posted it to the club Facebook page on September 28.
Video: "How to prevent AI from stealing your images"
Found by Rich Roberts. Per part of the description, this 10 minute British video discusses "practical strategies to safeguard your photos from being used without permission by AI systems and other online platforms.”
(Interesting viewpoint, but I think that they don't understand how AI works. One of them did say that his problem is that he is losing customers because they can now create their own artwork rather than pay him to create it, and I think this is driving this topic.-Mike)
