The water you're drinking could be older than the Sun! 🚰
New ALMA observations show that water molecules carry the same chemical fingerprint all the way from star-forming clouds to planet-forming discs and comets, meaning these molecules remain unaltered.

Nice blog post from ESO about the constellation Crux (the Southern Cross) that's always in our skies down here.
It lives on many flags, but more importantly, it has played a role in many Southern Hemisphere Indigenous Astronomy songlines, lore, and stories.
It's got some good stars / objects!
