ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

There are 1 septillion stars in our observable night sky...and one Luna. 8.3 billion humans on this planet...one singular you. Dont you ever forget that a light and tidal force you may be to someone else in this lifetime. 🤍💫

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

#orion looking fab tonight #iphone

She is looking huge tonight and very bright. Finally the rain & clouds pass for a while for us to see this beauty. 98.7% illuminated Waxing Gibbous phase. 228,936 miles from Earth. Tomorrow (01Feb26) is the Full Moon, or Snow Moon #moon #moonhour #moonphotography #photography

#iphone snap of the 98.7% illuminated Moon with a twinkle of Jupiter top right. It has been raining all day and surprised to see any of it TBH

I have had my Orion ShortTube 80 refractor for 30 years. I used it a lot in the 90s with a film camera. Now it is relegated to guide scope duty attached to a ZWO ASI178MM camera. Last night I let them show what they can do on the waxing gibbous moon. Not bad! Details in ALT. #astrophotography

When it’s below 0° right down to the beach, you go out and capture it. Madison, CT.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Proud of my sister Gera, who developed a wonderful butterfly garden in the center of Tiel, the Netherlands, together with gardener Edwin Barendrecht and dozens of volunteers. On BBC2 tonight, 20:00 CET. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Sitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers. The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second. And the Hunter hunters are silent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The Pleiades star cluster (M45) captured over 25 hours. The blue glow is starlight reflecting off interstellar dust. The surrounding brown structures are the Integrated Flux Nebula, incredibly faint clouds lit by the glow of our entire galaxy. #astrophotography #astronomy #space #m45

Happy Tuesday! We had a nice simple sunrise with beautiful golden colors today that belied the 12° temperatures. Tap for full size, particularly since it's a vertical. I hope you have a great day!

After the storm, another big lunar halo for you. Going to be a cold one. #nature #moon #astronomy #photography #astrophotography

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Stepped out on to the street to take this photo and the snow was up to my knees. And I'm 6 feet tall.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
