Orion Nebula with the bright star Hatysa (ι Orionis) on the right edge of the photo. Hatysa and the nebula are roughly 1,300 light years away. December 28th 2025 #astrophotography

With the Moon high in the sky and Orion rising in the east I was able to get a well-lit foreground and nice stars above Wukoki Pueblo and Sunset Crater Volcano. •Wupatki National Monument •Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument #landscape 📷 #astrophotography

Dr. @chesyaburke.bsky.social and I are editing an anthology surveying the evolution of Black literary horror. Tentatively titled Black Horror, Then & Next: We Have Always Dreamed in Darkness (FlameTree Press), here are the guidelines… blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-goth...

Been thinking about this worship of a certain type of man a lot lately. When I was at the Pentagon, the shorter, stouter officers used to grouse about the fact that the upper brass featured tall men. Having a full head of hair didn't hurt, either

Each of the arcs in this image are distant background galaxies that appear bent around the massive, white galaxy cluster Abell S1063. This #NASAWebb observation reveals many previously unseen galaxies. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, H. Atek, M. Zamani (ESA/Webb); R. Endsley.

NGC 7822, an emission nebula in Cepheus. Shot in narrowband (plus RGB for stars) with my SW Esprit 80ED reduced to 260 mm FL using a Starizona Apex ED-S reducer. 11 hours total integration. Hubble palette. More info on Astrobin: app.astrobin.com/i/jwte1m #astrophotography

Nothing but clouds, fog and now rain here in central IL but managed to get some time last week on a few objects with the C11 Hyperstar through the high tree tops. Approx. 60 minutes on each object. 🔭 #astrophotography

You’ve got a few days left to get your annual National Parks pass without Trump’s face on it.

Okay I got to the last fourth of the book last night only stopping to sleep but it’s SO GOOD. AND I messaged the author on IG not even really expecting a response just thanking them for making me feel seen in a way books never did when I was growing up AND THEY WERE SO NICEEEE. 15/10 I RECOMMEND

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

These fungi boost plant growth and restore depleted ecosystems, but federal funding for a library housing them has been cut – and it may be forced to close

A clumpy galaxy, observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in the AEGIS survey. It is at redshift 0.83 (lookback time 7.19 billion years) with coordinates (214.30674, 52.54398). 127 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo: Hubble.

This is a two panel mosaic of Dark Shark Nebula with about 2h on R, G, B and 4 h on L per panel. This is still very much underbaked and will need more exposure time, but it's starting to take shape. #astrophotography #darknebula #shark #photography #space #telescope #touptek #skyWatcherUSA

Three ways of looking at the iconic Christmas Tree Cluster, 2700 light years from Earth. What the universe looks like depends on how we look at it. These views highlight infrared (left), x-rays (middle), and red emission from hydrogen gas. Beautiful in three different ways. 🧪🔭

For some reason bluesky didn't want to attach one of the photos, so here's the Jellyfish Nebula too! #astrophotography #space #nebula #photography #astronomy

Been a while since I've shared some astro pics, so here's some from earlier this month that I hadn't shared yet. Unfortunately it's been a couple months of mostly cloudy skies, my telescope hasn't seen much action :'( #astrophotography #space #nebula #astronomy #photography

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's. Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1. Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

This isn’t a scene of holiday lights gone awry—it’s cold dust in two galaxies! #NASAWebb’s mid-infrared observations uniquely capture the dust in exquisite detail. See how the pair looks when visible and UV light are added from Hubble: https://bit.ly/4oxgK0u

Outstanding footage! 👏🏼 I managed a few snaps of #Venus back then, as it transited the #Sun in 2012, and then the clouds came to stay. ☁️ It will not do it again until +92.5, or +100 years from now. You have options. 😆 Do not stare at the Sun. 🧪 #🔭 #🌞 #📷

Today’s image has two objects, IC 417 (left of center) and NGC 1931. Both stellar nurseries similar to the Orion Nebula (M42) but much farther away in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way. NGC 1931 even has a trapezium of stars similar to M42 if you zoom in on the lower light patch. #astrophotography
