If the winner doesn’t supply a theme before Thursday 22:30 GMT, the organizer will select the theme. In this case, the winner’s theme will be used the next time we are lacking a theme on Thursday 22:30 GMT.
Having selected the theme, the winner will not be eligible to enter that week. They may however still submit an image, but it won’t be included in the voting.

There is a chance during the first gravity assist in october of next year. If the spacecraft passes shortly before sunrise or after sunset, it might be visible by amateur telescopes. Some details might be visible with a diameter of 300 mm.
That would be fun. Maybe someone will actually try this. I’ll keep an eye open for those images. However, I don’t have too hope regarding the resolution.
Well, first things first. Let’s get James Webb up there on Saturday. This will be an interesting year, for sure.
