In 2022 I drove across Canada from Ottawa to northern BC. I remember driving for three full days around the top of Lake Superior with a wall of mostly dead trees on either side of the road the whole way, thinking, man when Ontario burns, there's going to be no stopping it. And here we are.
Via Bluesky:

At least 80% of the world lives under light-polluted skies
—a figure that rises to 99% in America and Europe.
A paper published in Science found that between 2011 and 2022 the night sky grew almost 10% brighter each year.
With so many places awash with artificial light, people are increasingly seeking out the darkness.

If Multicast is the Answer -- What was the Question?
Multicast is (almost) as old as the Internet, having become a tool for increasing network efficiency but also enabling destination discovery in a number of key use cases, although misaligned economic interests have limited its deployment to domain-local usages. But recent advances in multicast technologies as well as the identification of new use cases for which IP multicast may be ill fitted yet network-level support may be desirable motivate to re-think old perceptions of multicast and its us…
