Sometimes our girl Haru is very demanding for cuddles. We love her for it. 🥰

Moon-Venus conjunction and Earthshine, by photographer Stefano Maraggi. Due to the Earth-Moon distance only a tiny fraction of the sunlight reflected by Earth reaches the lunar nightside, which reflects a tiny fraction back to Earth, appearing dimmer than the portion directly illuminated by the Sun.

Sometimes you gotta make yourself a pride bracelet that's split between Demigirl and Bisexual. You know, as a treat.

So one of my hobbies is making friendship bracelets. I made this adorable heart one for my metamour last night of her favorite colors.

I used my own pattern that is available on BraceletBook.com #181245
www.braceletbook.com/patterns/nor...

an image of a star forming region in orion showing stars, pink emission from hydrogen and scattered blue light from dust.

My first deep sky image since 12/6! For me, M42 is visible for 2.5 hours as it passes between 2 trees. I collected exposures over the last 2 clear nights, despite many things going wrong. I managed to salvage 144, 15s exposures through RGB filters. M42 is a very forgiving target. #astrophotography

I need to buy this right now

Updated version of my test image of the Lagoon Nebula (M8) with the first light of the ZWO ASI1600MM Pro camera and broad-band filters. This image combines: - 39 x 120s H-alpha (Baader 3.5nm ultra-narrow filter), in red. Darks and flats included. - 40 x 15s OPTOLONG L-Pro filter, in green. No flat or darks. - 28 x 300s [O III] 3 nm ultra-narrow Antlia filter, in green. Includes darks and flat (this image is the new addition). - 56 x 6s ZWO B filter, in blue, no flat or dark. H-alpha data taken on 21st Aug 2020, L-Pro and B data taken on 23rd Aug 2020, from my backyard at home, 15 km North from Sydney's city center. Telescope: Skywatcher Black Diamond 80, f=600mm (f/7.5) Equipment: I used the ZWO ASIAir to control the camera, the mount (Skywatcher AZ-EQ6) and the guiding system (ASI120MM + Orion 50mm finderscope). ZWO filter drawer for changing filter. The [O III] data taken on 18 August 2021, including the Orion 0.75x focal reducer and the ZWO 7x2" filter wheel. Processing: Data processed with Siril software. FITS converted on TIFF using NASA's Fits Liberator considering a logarithmic function. Color / saturation / levels / contrast / smart sharpen with Photoshop. Credit: Ángel R. López-Sánchez (AAO-MQ).

Fox coming at the camera in a field of tall grass

We're Making Fox Great Again

The only Fox News you should be listening to.

"If they pounced to the north-east, they killed on 73% of their attacks; if they jumped in the opposite direction,,,, 60%. In all other directions, only 18% of their pounces were successful".

The Aurora event of May 11th, 2024. I doubt that I’ll ever experience this again without visiting polar latitudes.

A close-up picture of a piece of embroidery. It has a white background and is covered, in the top half of the picture, with small embroidered colorful icons. Some of them include things like a cowboy hat, a ghost, a helicopter, a star, a battery down to its lowest level of energy, a piece of pie, an ice cream cone, a house, and an “OMG“. In the center of the embroidery he’s written “2024“

Behold Sophie O'Neill's "embroidery journal"

every day she stitches an icon of something she did, felt or experienced that day

by the end of the year it's a wild riot of glyphs

NGC 7814, the Little Sombrero Galaxy, lies 40M light-years away in Pegasus. Like its namesake, the Sombrero Galaxy, it has a bright core and thin dusty disk, but it is smaller and less massive.

This is what a rocket launch looks like from space.

It's cold and rainy, but sometimes raindrops on the leaves just look so perfect.

Today is stressful here in the US. So have an adorable picture of my cat Haru to hopefully give you a little joy.
