10/5: stars and spells

Tonight we heard a visiting speaker (a former student of mine) lecture about an inscription on an ancient amulet. It was a well-attended talk, and there was a lot of interest and enthusiasm in the room.

When I got home after all my hosting duties were done, I saw the thickness of the stars above me. It's so nice to live in a low light-pollution place, where the stars really can look like a Milky Way.
