Today I want to talk about the intersections between Indigenous people and space industry.
First, some definitional stuff. I am not using Indigenous as a simple adjective here - the common meaning is 'originating or occurring naturally in a particular place".
In the context of global history, Indigenous people were the landowners when European invaders arrived in their countries from the 1400s onwards.
Ok, going to jump into today's topics ....
In addition to the ancient Assyrian astronomy I wrote about yesterday, I also wanted to touch on Indigenous Australian astronomy. - which really interests me.
It also pre-dates Assyrian astronomy, which is fascinating!

Let me just pre-face this thread by saying that I am in no way an expert of this topic. In fact, I am only just learning about it myself as I have a deep interest in this field.
I'm drawn to how different cultures in different times in history have seen and used the sky.

But if you're looking to delve a little further, i'd recommend following these subject matter experts themselves:

Let me know of others too, so I can share their handles- am sure I am missing some great folks!

Hi everyone! :) I'm Ute (pronounced like “Oohter” with the emphasis on the first syllable. Equivalents are Audrey in English, Aude/Odette in French), and first of all I would like to thank @Taraustralis for the privilege of letting me host “People of Space” this week!
@Taraustralis Another special thank you goes to my direct predecessors, @marmatheghost and @martinesrymd, for their great contributions! Both have inspired some of the things I intend to talk about over the next 7 days.
@Taraustralis @MarmaTheGhost @martinesrymd Tara created @people_of_space so people from all walks of life could talk about their passion to a larger audience. Her intention will in fact also be this week’s motto: “Space is for Everyone”.
Welcome aboard; enjoy the ride! :)

What were obstacles and traps when I started in astrophotography, or in general: "What should I pay attention to, when I begin in astrophotography?"

Well, first, a little advisory:
I really can tell what kind of problems you encounter when you begin because...
I'm still beginning 😬😬

So!
The first issue for me have been: I did not know my camera well and what it can do.
Almost any camera can do at least a nice astro landscape.
With the right settings, you could even capture the milky way with a high-end smartphone.
