Just lovely Bryn!

In fact, I enjoyed it so much I read it a second time! This is part childhood memory, part science, and part wondering what it is like to look out into the cosmos. I just really love this Bryn, it makes me think about all the different ways a writer’s experience can open the world to their reader.

Thanks so much, Tom. So lovely of you to say. I really enjoyed the blend and feel more at home with that format than straight info-based articles, which feel too work/content mill-esque for me?

Let's face it, the "straight info-based articles" either are or are going to be far too easy for machines to write, but the stuff that you brought--the personal memories, the evocative visuals--need flesh and blood behind them. My hypothesis is that essays like yours, with a real voice behind them, will be more welcome as a result.
