Well..before I get some breakfastโ€ฆ..Today marks one year since I joined Bluesky!

It has been a blast. I have made a few special friends in here and for that I will be forever grateful.

Thanks for a year of friendship and hope !

FACT OF THE DAY. 10 November 1871. Journalist Henry Stanley greeted a missing Scottish explorer in Central Africa with the words: โ€œDr. Livingstone, I presume?โ€ Livingstone was out of contact for 6 years. Stanley was sent to find him by New York Herald. They met on the shore of Lake Tanganyika.

DISGUSTING.

This is what our "administration" is being exemplified by:

Lies, pedophilia, intentional starvation and willful refusal of medical care.

What a fucking legacy.

It may look like CGI, but this is the real deal: It's an accurate 3D rendering of our galactic neighborhood, highlighting the locations where new stars are being born.

This animation is based on measurements of 44 million stars by the Gaia space telescope. ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ”ญ

Left: Cassini image of Enceladus showing its geysers. Right: This illustration shows the process of light, soluble and reactive organic compounds making their way onto ice grains emitted in jets of water from Saturn's moon Enceladus, where they were detected by the Cassini spacecraft.

Data from the Cassini spacecraft shows that there is complex organic chemistry happening in the ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus.

It took 17 years to get the result! The finding boosts the case that life could possibly exist inside this little ice-covered world. ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ”ญ

The Andromeda Core shows the central region of the Andromeda Galaxy (also known as M31), which is the nearest large galaxy to us at around 2.5 million light years away. Andromeda is a barred spiral galaxy like our own Milky Way. Itโ€™s made up of an outlying spiral structure of dust, gas and stars connected by a dense, bar-shaped concentration of bright giant stars in the galactic core. 

This isnโ€™t a simple target to capture on camera. Competition judge and Royal Observatory astronomer Dr Ed Bloomer explains: โ€œThe cores of galaxies are often extremely bright, and unless the astrophotographer is careful it can overwhelm the image and obscure that lovely detail.โ€ However, he says, โ€œWhat we have here is an image which preserves an astonishing amount of detail right towards the very heart of Andromeda, which is extremely difficult to do.โ€

In case you were wondering, here is the overall winner of the 2025 Astronomy Photographer of the Year award. It's a photo of the Andromeda Galaxy, showing this familiar sky object in a new, unique, and quite stunning way. ๐Ÿ”ญ๐Ÿงช

The image depicts a night sky over Colorado Springs, USA, with storm clouds lit by lightning. Branching lightning bolts streak across the sky, creating a dramatic effect. The clouds are dense, pinkish with gray shades. Composed of over 60 stacked images, it captures the grandeur of clouds and the intensity of lightning.

This fantastic pic from Joe Randall was obtained by over 60 images, stacked to capture the sequence of the storm clouds, in July 2020 over Colorado Springs.

We know on average 44 lightning bolts occur on Earth every second, even if... 1/2
