Introducing Brady, our new mascot! Brady (short for the Genus Bradypus, or slow foot, the scientific name of the genus of Three-Toed Sloths) is a keen and wide-eyed amateur astronomer in love with the beauty of nature and the mysteries of the universe. The idea of having a mascot came to me when introducing the public to observing the solar eclipse on 8 April 2024. I thought having some way to introduce some humour and warmth to the Pine River Observatory blog would be a great idea.
A sloth seemed appropriate. Not only are they very endearing animals but as there have sometimes been many months between posts on my blog the pacing seems a good fit. Slow foot indeed.
