About Alastair Williams
“A sheet stretched beneath an apple tree can gather only apples; a sheet stretched beneath the stars can gather only star-dust” ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Put simply, this newsletter is about space, physics, and the cosmos. It’s for people who are curious about these things - about the stars and the planets, the telescopes we’ve sent to explore them, and our efforts to reach beyond the Earth and out into the vast and dangerous universe around us.
