Drivers slowed down to admire what I was doing. “Good work, love,” one man yelled out. It was the start of the state’s first lockdown and I used my spare time to paint murals (壁画).

I’d chosen sunflowers as my subject. “They’re bright, colorful but best of all, they turn their face to the sun,” I told people. It was a fitting reminder that as much of the world faced uncertainty over this pandemic we mustn’t give up hope, either. And my colorful creations soon started turning heads.

“I want one,” people told me, inviting me to their local laneway. Several business owners also got in touch hoping I could revive their property.

I paid for all the paints myself but soon I started finding bunches of sunflowers with thank you notes from complete strangers on my doorstep. Honestly, making money was never my intention. I just wanted to bring the community together.

Soon, people from across the city were hanging out in my suburb wanting selfies(自拍) with the sunflowers. Before long, I attracted some die-hard fans.

One of my most moving experiences was when I was approached by friends of a woman whose son had recently passed away.“Would you paint her a mural as a surprise?” they asked. For me, there was no question. And when the woman returned to see the transformation outside her home, she was moved to tears. “It’s the most beautiful thing,” she choked.

People from all over my country have since contacted me wanting my work, and while I’d love to add more sunflowers across the country, it’s great to know that I found a way of brightening up my town in the dark times.

Time was, being called “nerd (书呆子)” was a bad thing.

That is happily different now, says Sarah Jane, director at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, which is home to the exhibit “Obsessed: The Art of Nerd-dom” through March 15. “I think the majority of my friends are nerdier than I am,” she said, “and I mean that in a ‘my friends are cooler than I am’ kind of way.”

Jane said the rise of the Internet certainly helped blossom, connecting people with common interests across geographies. Now, it’s almost mainstream—exhibitions of nerd culture fill convention halls, comic book superheroes and science fiction stories are the focus of blockbuster movies, and more.

“It has made being a nerd less of an isolating experience, and more of a community experience because you’re connecting with other people who have that shared interest,” she said.

Holladay, the co-curator (副馆长), spoke up in a meeting about what the coming exhibition season would look like.“I knew of another nerdy exhibition that had happened in LA recently... and I just thought ‘you know, I bet there are nerdy artists on the (Olympic) Peninsula and in Washington who have really quality work, where the subject matter might not fit into most exhibits’,” she said.

And she wasn’t surprised when they received plenty of recommendations.“My theory was that nerds are everywhere,” she said. “Once I got in touch with the right people, everyone was coming out of the woodwork.”

The exhibit features comic art, and things like Pokemon cards arranged in a collage (拼贴画). One work invites viewers to imagine the unique talents and abilities they have as superpowers they bring to the world. Holladay says the evolution of the idea of nerd culture has been positive over the past several years.

SpaceX, a private company, has put 60 Starlink communication satellites into orbit, bringing the total circling Earth to 180. They will bring internet access to underserved areas of the world. But it seems they also mess with telescopes.

When the satellites pass through a telescope’s field of view, they create bright streaks(条痕) that cut through images of the sky, hiding anything that might be behind them and pouring so much light into the telescope that it causes some observations unusable.

“What surprised everyone - the astronomy community and SpaceX - was how bright the satellites are”, said anxiously space experts. Actually SpaceX did talk about the issue elsewhere. The problem for astronomers doesn’t end with SpaceX. Blue Origin, One Web and Amazon plan to launch thousands of communications satellites in the coming years.

In an effort to ease astronomers’ fears, SpaceX is testing one satellite that is a bit different from the others. It was included in the most recent launch and is partially coated in a dark material to make it less shiny and so less visible in telescope images. We don’t have any data yet on whether the coating is working as intended.

Once the satellites are in space, there is no backtracking. While companies like SpaceX do need approval from regulatory bodies(监察机构) for each launch, there is no rule that prevents them from launching an unlimited number of satellites.

“We have to rely on firms such as SpaceX voluntarily cooperating with astronomers to attempt to keep the impacts of their satellite constellations (卫星星座) as low as possible.” said space experts.

With more than 1,500 Starlink satellites scheduled for launch in the near future, that cooperation will need to be speedy if it is going to make any difference.
