Comet McNaught, the Great Comet of 2007, grew a spectacularly long and filamentary tail. The magnificent tail spread across the sky and was visible for several days to Southern Hemisphere observers just after sunset. The amazing ion tail showed its greatest extent on long-duration, wide-angle camera exposures. During some times, just the tail itself was visible just above the horizon for many northern observers as well. Comet C/2006 P1 (McNaught), estimated to have attained a peak brightness of magnitude -5 (minus five), was caught by the comet's discoverer in the featured image just after sunset in January 2007 from Siding Spring Observatory in Australia. Comet McNaught, the brightest comet in decades, then faded as it moved further into southern skies and away from the Sun and Earth. Over the next month, Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS, a candidate for the Great Comet of 2024, should display its most spectacular tails visible from the Earth.

Tuna in for some good news! 🐟📰🎉

For decades, Pacific bluefin tuna were overfished and populations were in steep decline. Over the past 30 years, the Aquarium has worked to bring them back. There’s more to do, but their prospects are now much brighter.

A very German looking man with white hair, wearing a white shirt and shorts with I think beige socks and short shoes is riding a bicycle with lights and a big basket on the front. He looks very happy, and smiles at the camera. It's a very dorky look, but I think he's kind of immune to it, because he's a legend and DGAF? https://www.nature.com/articles/35043073 "HANS KREBS (1900-1981) Hans Krebs was born in a medieval town in Northern Germany called Hildesheim, near Hanover (pictures are on the right). Hans lived comfortably as a child, in a large house with a nice back yard and garden. Like most little boys, Hans loved the outdoors, and he spent many hours hiking and cycling through the woods and hills of the beautiful countryside. But Hans also loved books. He even liked to read encyclopedias!"

For the first time since Nov. 2023, two of the four instruments aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft (currently ~24,472,559,000 km away or about 22.5 light hours from us) have started re-transmitting science data!

These spacecraft are older than me and still going strong.
