    Great take on the theme, and density of themers! The SE corner was too much for me though

      I, too, gave up at SE. But all those themers in an 11x is impressive.

        Thanks! I think it's fair to say in retrospect that I got a bit overexuberant with the theme density, and while I got away with it through most of the puzzle, the SE corner did definitely suffer for it. Still learning a lot with each puzzle!

            awesome misdirect on the taylor swift clue... plopped in telescopes and the revealer immediately, but i kept forgetting that space had to be on the outer margin instead of the first word... so kept mulling over what 1989 song starts SPACE B????

              Fun take on the theme! SE was definitely tricky.
