A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

A flag with a black background and a highly stylized 3/4 cutaway of a cylindrical space habitat. In the center is a white structure with a green interior, representing lighting systems and microgee parkland. To the right is the inner wall of the cylinder, showing green parkland and the glinting blue band of a circumferential river. Surrounding the cylinder is a white outline, symbolizing the glacis of shielding material - be it sandbags, glass, concrete, or steel - that every permanent space hab shelters from cosmic radiation under.

Flag of Microselenesia, a pan-cislunar intergovernmental organization formed in the mid-22nd century to govern affairs between the growing cohort of permanent free-space habitats orbiting the Earth and Moon.

Ooh! That's really cool!

That does sound pleasant, but I assume the accuracy isn't great?

Does it feel like... a gel?

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - That must be incredibly hard. The arthropods are in silent and meaningless awe of you. Know that we are watching -- when you're tired, when the vision spins out of control. The insects will be looking on. Rooting for you.

don't assume this means wario has any virtues,
he just knows a trap when he sees one

Hi there, I just used the "like putting too much air in a balloon" analogy on a starship bridge, the captain just ordered security to throw me out the airlock without even looking up from his cup of tea.

I'm always saying this.

I can’t justify or prove it I just know it to be true

Salt and vinegar crisps you’re welcome

Been running around outside at night lately like the Weapons kids. Feels good. Refreshing.

And finally, a panorama of the facility around the Mayall telescope from Wynn!

Peeking up to the ladders and gantries inside the Wynn telescope dome, black and white, but the inside of the telescope domes are painted grey aside from the panel used for flat field correction.

A collection of helmets leading up to the Wynn dome, safety first!

A wide angle photograph of the dome surrounding the Mayall telescope.

The overhead ladders and staircases leading to the top of the Mayall telescope dome.

Okay! Some more pictures of the interior structures of the Wynn and Mayall telescopes! The mirror for the Wynn was covered, but the gantries and structures inside the buildings themselves are cool.

Sorry! Mane 'n Tail! This is an important distinction.

Thank you! The mirror one was a bit hard to get considering how massive the structure was, I was pressing up against the railing of the platform we were on!

A real fun peek behind the curtain was someone asking how the mirrors are cleaned, and its a combination of CO2 fire extinguishers and Mane and Tail shampoo, academia lives and dies on incredibly expensive equipment being propped up by textbooks and bits of wood, I love it.

The McMath–Pierce solar telescope, which used to funnel light from the sun several hundred feet underground, a nearly-full moon is directly overhead.

The Mayall Telescope building, a large, capped cylindrical building that used to house full-time telescope operators, is in the bottom of the frame, beyond that and above is the boundless sky.

The 4 meter primary mirror of the Mayall telescope, what used to be a general observation telescope in the 1970s has since been retrofitted to carry thousands of robotically controlled spectroscopic fibres for the DESI experiment.

Facing north from Kitt Peak, into Tohono Oʼodham land, a snippet of the road leading up the mountain can be seen.

Some shots from Kitt Peak National Observatory, the McMath–Pierce solar telescope, the Mayall Telescope, both its building and mirror, and the surrounding Tohono Oʼodham Nation.

Vines trailing the corrugated siding of an eco-friendly office building, the siding gently curves, said to mimic the shape and structure of a box canyon.

Looking straight up through the open-topped lobby of the building, the plants and the curves of the siding are more readily apparent.

A wider-angle shot, straight on, showing the abundance of hanging plants and bushes, that help cool the structure through evaporation.

Another straight-up shot, vines hang down to the camera, out of focus.

Last week I was at The Solar System in Context conference, which was absolutely fantastic, it was hosted in the AIR ENR2 Building, which is one of the most gorgeous places I've ever worked out of!

image of a desert landscape at dawn. in the foreground is a long dirt road, stretching out to a point in the distance with a powerline running along its side. on the right is a yellow road sign. out in the distance is the silhouette of the mountains, its peaks barely illuminated by the rising sun. the sky is a gentle gradient from pale orange to a desaturated blue. the full moon shines just barely left of center of the image.

good morning creatures and critters
