Make America Lose Again 💪🏻💪🏻 Go TeamNL!

I'd rather be talking about the mysteries of the universe than thinking about the stupidity of this world.

Zelenskyy on double standards in global justice: "Maduro is on trial in New York. Sorry, but Putin is not on trial." Vladimir Putin is the biggest war criminal of 21st century and must be held accountable!

The January 19th Northern lights as seen from my back yard in Dordrecht (NL)

Northern lights visible in the south. Amazing light show last night.

Politiek gewin over het leed van nabestaanden ziet er zo uit 👉🏼Wilders zei dat de verdachte een week voor de dood van Lisa is aangehouden en daarna is vrijgelaten „Dit klopt niet”, zegt de politie. „Die opmerking zorgt voor onnodige onrust bij betrokkenen en nabestaanden.”

Sometimes a picture speaks louder than words... Kies dus in oktober met je verstand, niet je onderbuik, want wereldwijd zien we ontwikkelingen die duiden dat een democratie niet meer zo vanzelfsprekend is als dat we gewend zijn 😐

The meteorite from our observatory in Dordrecht (NL) is for sale #astronomy

Mark Boumans #VNG over Wilders: Een landelijk politicus hitst burgers tegen een lokaal bestuur op om te voorkomen dat er een democratisch besluit wordt genomen. 👈🏼Hoe lang laat men Wilders nog doorgaan met opruien?

81 years ago. When people still realised you have to fight fascism.

Living in a very light polluted city it is a challenge to capture the dark nebulas surrounding NGC7023, the Iris nebula. After 13 hours this is the result. William Optics GT71 ZWO ASI 533 mc pro Skywatcher HEQ5 pro #astronomy #astrophotography

Today we remember the Dutch victims of WWII and all conflicts after. Also the 25 soldier who died after the USA called for NATO article 5. Stop fascist regimes before history repeats!

Ambtelijke ongehoorzaamheid zou op meer ministeries toegepast mogen worden. Ambtenaren zweren trouw aan de Grondwet, niet aan een minister die haar ondermijnt.

It's laughable that the Trump administration spent 3 month to come up with the plan that gives russia everything they want, and now they're threatening to walk away from talks. Kindergarten level of diplomacy.

Someone? #astronomy #astrophotography

25 Dutch soldiers died because of the USA calling for article 5 for the first and only time in the history of Nato. Trump just insulted their families and our country! 🤬😡

It needs to be said again.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

✨Behoud Sterrenwacht Mercurius !! Door bezuinigingen dreigt de sterrenwacht te verdwijnen. Dat mag natuurlijk niet gebeuren dus daarom het volgende verzoek: Zouden jullie mee willen helpen de petitie te ondertekenen en dit zoveel mogelijk te verspreiden 🙏🏼 ? sterrenwachtmercurius.petities.nl

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Wat een walgelijke klootzak.

Catching some photons coming all the way from Messier 81. #astrophotography #astronomy

Here we are. #FASCISM is alive and kicking.
