“…because we all stand between the jungle and the #stars, at a crossroads. I think we better discover what brings out the best in humankind, and what brings out the worst, because it's the stars or the #jungle.”

Panoramic view of our Earth’s shadow along the horizon just after #sunset. The pinkish band is known as the #BeltofVenus; and you can see the waxing gibbous moon above. Taken at #JonesBeach West End 2 on July 6, 2025.

Success! IWitnessed the Mayan serpent god Kukulkan’s #equinox appearance at Chichen Itza! On the equinoxes, the stepped pyramid’s corner casts a shadow from the setting sun onto the staircase, making a diamondback snake whose head is illuminated at the bottom. #astronomy

Thinking of Dr. Wojtek Dziembowski - a kind soul whose wisdom and joy made us all better asteroseismologists and people - on his passing earlier this week.
Such a privilege to have been able to work with and learn from him, & enjoy many visits together in Poland and at conferences around the world.
