We had to restart the falcon cam--so if you're wondering where it went, here you go! Due to construction in the Library and the building, we may have further interruptions.

It's true. The Falcon cam is back.
There will be a temporary disruption in the feed while we rearrange some cables. And remember, our space is closed while we're under construction.
