This project started out as a biologist’s attempt to model how spiders use vibrational patterns in their webs to determine the distance and direction to ensnared insects. Then a musician got involved, and a new instrument was born:

One last weekly status report on a couple of videos that are about a month old:
Averaged over the past week, for Look What They’ve Done to My Song, Ma V = 555 and C = 1.51, while for the We’re Going Live announcement video V = 91 and C = 0.32.
Also, I just discovered a calculation error in the October rankings, but it’s too late to edit it. Look What They’ve Done to My Song, Ma should be V = 602 (ranked 12th) and C = 1.64 (ranked 10th).

Malcolm McDowell was also the narrator of the 1982 documentary “The Compleat Beatles”, which was where I first learned the story of the group. Here’s a clip:

That’s cool, Chris! But 1823 was before photography was (pardon the pun) developed. I looked it up and the article said he was BORN in 1823. Not that it really matters…

I got to see The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway myself a few years ago. Fantastic music, and I was amazed at the special effects they could incorporate into a live show! The only other show I’ve seen on Broadway is Beautiful (the Carole King musical), which was also excellent.

Yeah, I remember watching it at the theater, with my mask on… with just three other people!

Musicals absolutely qualify, Chris! And you picked one of the best. I can listen to the soundtrack of West Side Story over and over, and I tear up every time.
Spielberg’s version is definitely worth seeing, and this is coming from someone who is generally skeptical of remakes. It preserves everything from the original that should be preserved, and most of the changes are just reversions to how it was done on Broadway. There are also a few new scenes that serve to flesh out some of the main characters without altering the story line.
Here’s a sample of how the two versions match up:

No, I never gave the new Galactica a chance. I read about it, and there were so many changes (Cylons that looked like humans, etc.) that I imagined I would have spent most of my time yelling “That’s not right!” at the TV screen.

Chris, here’s an interesting article discussing the early massive galaxy issue:

No, the Big Bang theory is not 'broken.' Here's how we know.
Researchers confirmed that the distant galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope are, indeed, perfectly compatible with our modern understanding of cosmology.

Here we go! Turns out Dinkinesh has an even smaller binary companion:
