The satellite WorldView 3, owned by the private company Maxar, normally looks at Earth. But in a recent encounter up in space, it took an image of NASA’s Landsat 8 satellite. At the time the picture was taken, the two spacecraft were about 100 kilometres apart. It's a vivid illustration that it’s getting really crowded up there. More details here.

There’s Coffee In The Air, Literally
A measurement of air pollution in downtown Auckland found traces of meth, nicotine, caffeine, and THC in the air. “The results aren’t as concerning as a headline might make them sound,” one of the authors said in a press release. And to be fair, the amounts are minuscule, at least compared to the pollution coming from road traffic. But of course I’ll now spend the next week being completely paranoid about what exactly I might be breathing in.

Auckland? Try to measure that in Amsterdam...
