A short video of the waning cresent on Christmas night. #moon #space #spottingscope

We are essentially constantly being told by most of the world media that some people (dark, poor) are worth far less than others (western, wealthy). There's only one word for that. RACISM.

Walking in the countryside, a welcome reset from the madness of this crazy world! #nature #heals #treking

Irish President Catherine Connolly, this afternoon, received Swedish activist Ms. Greta Thunberg at Áras an Uachtaráin on a courtesy call. Great to see two strong women on the right side of history!

A waxing cresent moon at dusk, captured with the phone camera and spotting scope. The scope tends to be used mainly for birding / terrestrial targets but it also does well with the moon. Using just your eye is even better. Jupiter and its moons look great at present. #astrophotography #🌒 #jupiter

Tonight’s cat moon? #🙀 #moon #astrophotography #spottingscope #sv41pro

Autumn woods. Natures great healer. She deserves to be treated better.

Air travel remains artificially cheap despite its massive drain on the environment. It’s time for change. The cost of flying must reflect the enormous harm the aviation industry is causing to our planet.

Astonishing video, worth watching in full.

Big important read below. It details the planetary crisis we are in, and where we are heading. The constant push for growth and exploitation of finite resources have put our biosphere in peril in a remarkably small time frame. Urgent collective and brave political actions were never more needed.
