Just how far reaching is all of these horrendous events, but terrible as it is it seems just so far removed from the reality that most of the rest of us experience.
Last night I was preparing to image the transit of Titan but then we got the news that one of my wifes uncles, who lives in the fire affected region of Victoria was missing and there are grave fears for him.
Titan somehow became pretty unimportant and I packed up and probably like much of the population just felt stunned. The reality of what is happening is going to take a while to sink in for most. This will surely go down in the annals of Australian history as our greatest natural disaster ever.
