Today is the 179th anniversary of Neptune's discovery. I first 'discovered' the outermost ice planet in 2020. A year later, this is the best image I've taken of it (so far)! #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

Had a lovely gallery opening at Willison West in #SantaFe last weekend. Shadowscapes runs through the end of July!

A rare mothership supercell moved through eastern New Mexico today. It was an incredible storm event. The full gallery will be published later this evening via www.flickr.com/photos/danie... #nmwx

“Weather forecasting is not partisan,” said Representative Mike Flood of Nebraska, one of the bill’s sponsors. Another co-sponsor of this bipartisan legislation is Rep. Eric Sorensen, a former weathercaster from Illinois. #NWS #WxSky

A viewer caught the tail end of a tornado in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains Monday afternoon. This was taken about 12 miles SW of Las Vegas, NM, south of San Geronimo. This is looking NE towards Las Vegas. #NMwx

New Mexico tree deaths double in 2024 according to the New Mexico Forestry Division. Insects and a warming climate were the driving factors. Burn scar areas were also significant causes for insect activity and tree mortality. Press release: tinyurl.com/4weba7xc

Hey #WxSky, who is chasing this week? #stormchaser #severewx #txwx #okwx #kswx #cowx

Google says AI Overviews drive more traffic to a diverse mix of publishers. But it has never shared data to back up that claim. @daveyalba & I spoke to 25 creators who painted a different picture. Several are out of business. One is on food stamps. Our latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Completing a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification, as there's a non-zero chance I'm first on a scene with storm chasing and general adventuring. Course is really pushing my limits - the trauma section was tough - but the antidote to fear is knowledge. #WxSky #NewMexico #wilderness

Paying close attention to storms in Western Kentucky tonight. The hodograph at the family farm is quite alarming! #kywx #wxsky

What did the United States look like in the 1970s? Why did a majority of Americans advocate for the EPA and a Republican-led administration support the agency? What did it mean to try to clean the air, water and land? Explore at digitaldocumerica.org

The federal government is being deliberately asphyxiated in real time and no one can really do anything about it.

Hack: if flying east from the US overnight to Europe, sit on the left side of the plane, sleep early, stay awake for this 👇

Monsoon microburst. You had to be there to feel the power.

Goodnight #bluesky Our Moon.

The Giant A coastal redwood in Santa Cruz. Side note: it is insane how much #Instagram has deteriorated in past 3 months. Now lucky to break 75 likes on a post, down from 250. Story views also down. People just leaving the platform. #california #photography #redwood #santactuz #nature #tree

Working on my journal project this evening - Boise City is a favorite storm from 2023. Amazing LP supercell. Can’t wait to be on the plains again. #wxsky #okwx #stormchasing

Psst… take 12 seconds away from doom scrolling, to take a deep breath and relax with these sweet otters 🦦 🔊 🎥Nature

Same storm as my previous post, but minutes later as the sun was setting below the horizon!

"The country has invested in, and innovated through, this scientific public service for over a century, not for selling it to the highest bidder, but for the common good. Dismantling NOAA and the National Weather Service is a presidential grift that we must oppose."

Faint #aurora over #NewMexico tonight. Didn’t bother much with a comp, my soul just needed the chase.

Upward lightning in Electra, TX on 4.27.24. @timbacawx.bsky.social and I waited 2 hours for this scene to finally unfold! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Hey #WxSky! Have any curated feeds emerged for severe days like this? Useful hashtags to follow along beyond #mswx & other state hashtags? Bluesky has so much more #stormchaser potential than the closed world of X. Sucks to get a link with vital public info and be unable to see without an account.

An updated map of Blue Sky follower counts per IEMBot account here. @box.weather.im (Boston) continues to lead for the WFOs and @spc.weather.im (Storm Prediction Center) overall.

Looking at a list from the AP of federal sites that will be closed and a few things stand out. 1/ apnews.com/article/doge...

I’ve been working on a little side project in my free time… This is an unofficial, personal project with my own infrastructure, but I’ve been entertained by the idea of a mobile-friendly, dynamic-map based convective outlook viewer for SPC Fire & Convective outlooks. 1/?
