    Hi Mark, my name is Jim.

    Would you mind filling me in on the particulars of your profile gif, the one that appears to show the movement of stars.  I’m aware that movements of deep space objects have been time-lapse recorded, but I’ve seen nothing to match your gif.  Thank you, Mark

      Hi Jim, yes it’s the movement of the stars around Sag A*- the black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Not sure if it’s real or reconstructed but it’s pretty cool! It’s 20years with of motion so they are moving very fast!

      Awsome! And thank you, Mark.  With the JWST, the recent (relatively) discovery of exoplanets, and sensor and processing technology that extend our grasp beyond what would have seemed improbable science fiction ten years ago, we’re living through an incredible time of near and outer space discovery. Anyway, I love the black hole imagery and appreciate you sharing it.

      Jim
