A second, complementary sky survey called 2ES (the Second Earth Spectrograph) will soon begin looking at stars in the southern hemisphere.
Both surveys will measure stellar motions to an accuracy of 10 cm/sec--about the speed of a crawling baby! Amazing how far the tech has come.
"You've come, have you? – You've come, you source of tears to many mothers. It is long since I saw you; but as I see you now you are much more terrible, for I see you brandishing the downfall of my country."
William of Malmesbury, Gesta regum Anglorum

![The 1066 CE appearance of Halley's comet is famously depicted in the Bayeux tapestry.
The image shows:
Left panel: Figures pointing upward at the sky, gesturing in what appears to be alarm or wonder
Center: A stylized representation of the comet with streaming tail, labeled "ISTI MIRANT[UR] STELLA[M]" (These men marvel at the star)
Right panel: Shows King Harold II of England seated on his throne, with the label "HAROLD" visible. Attendants are informing him about the omen
The comet: Depicted with a bright head and flowing tail in the characteristic medieval artistic style](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/966/450/937/631/057/original/d1ac18e596446e13.webp)
