I apologize for the lateness of this week's email. I would like to highlight the recognition of the Dehalvi Wikimedia Community User Group <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dehalvi_Wikimedia_User_Group> and Wikimedia Community User Group Math <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Math>. (I wish that I could translate this email's subject line into Urdu. Regrettably, I have doubts regarding the automated translation. I would be appreciative if anyone would like to share a manual translation of the subject line into Urdu.)
I thought that this thread on Wikitech-l was interesting: "Difference between #goal and #epic <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2019-July/092299.html>". Last week there were at least two notable anniversaries in space exploration. 1. 20 July 1969 was the date that astronauts on the Apollo 11 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11> spaceflight landed on Earth's moon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon>. 2. 23 July 1995 was when two astronomers, one of them being an amateur astronomer <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_astronomer>, first discovered Comet Hale–Bopp <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Hale%E2%80%93Bopp>. I enjoy looking at English Wikipedia featured pictures, including these subcategories of space featured pictures: * Looking out <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/Space/Looking_out> * Understanding <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/Space/Understanding> * Getting there <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/Space/Getting_there> * Looking back <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/Space/Looking_back> * Panorama <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/Space/Panorama> My guess is that many of us have looked up at the sky at night and thought about the moon, the stars, and the planets. Maybe you have seen shooting stars <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cosmic_Fireball_Falling_Over_ALMA.jpg>, comets like Hale–Bopp, or the Milky Way <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Beneath_the_Milky_Way.jpg>. If you have the opportunity to try astronomy or night photography <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Astronoomiahuvilised.jpg>, I encourage you to do so. I would like to close this email with two quotes. First, the famous quote by astronaut Neil Armstrong as he first set foot on the Moon: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frase_de_Neil_Armstrong.ogg>." Second, a quote by amateur astronomer Thomas Bopp <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Bopp>: " I--I'll never give up looking at the skies. There's so many beautiful things there. And I love to share that with people." What's making you happy this week?
