Some actinolite, amphibole, and serpentines I found today in Acton, CA. flic.kr/p/2rD8UtH flic.kr/p/2rD7mQq flic.kr/p/2rD7mQq flic.kr/p/2rD7mQq

I was rockhounding but I found a bone 🦴

Let’s gooooooo Dodgers!!!!

Found a brown widow spider in my garage. After some pictures, it is no longer in my garage….

Comet C/2025 R2 Swan on October 24th. This is processed from 14.5 minutes of integration across 28 images in PixInsight and Photoshop. flic.kr/p/2rCpsHF

#Comet C/2025 A6 #Lemmon in the constellation Boötes, on the evening of October 24th. Captured from the light polluted outskirts of Munich. 16 minutes integration time with my Fujifilm X-S10 and 135mm f4.5 lens (untracked). #astrophotography 🔭

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon, 48.5 minutes of exposure across 97 images taken from Bear Divide in Los Angeles. This is the first time I’ve processed a comet observation like this so I had to do some quick learning and experimentation. Hopefully I’ll improve on this in the future. flic.kr/p/2rBGQZv

Again with the telescope and pretzels :-)

MAHLI and MastCam images taken by the Mars Curiosity Rover as a before & after of the new “Valle de la Luna” drill site. The first two images are using MAHLI on Sol 4690 and are white balanced. The third is MastCam used post-drill on Sol 4693. flic.kr/p/2rAHgT2 flic.kr/p/2rAHySD flic.kr/p/2rAHraZ

A reprojected view of Jupiter centered near the border with the Northern Filamentary Region. This uses image data taken by NASA’s JunoCam during the Perijove 26 flyby in April 2020. I created a simulated terrain relief to provide a sense of vertical scale to the cloudtops. flic.kr/p/2jyhVD8

Telescope, my boy Liam, and a bag of pretzels :-)

Here’s another one from the United Arab Emirates’ Hope Mars Mission orbiter taken on February 10 2025. This is centered over the northern hemisphere Utopia Planitia, a vast and flat impact basin. flic.kr/p/2rziYzV

Went hiking last night in an area with plentiful albite-quartz-muscovite schist and some actinolite-albite schist. I took a few small rocks to document them but nothing particularly impressive. All this is from marine trench sediments subducted with the Farallon plate, metamorphosed, and uplifted.

“Restructuring” because the Whitehouse and their allies choose destruction of all the good parts of the United States federal government because it won’t make them a personal profit. Also, they hate science, people who do good things for everyone instead of for them only, and actual reality.

My Mom. Two third degree black belts, an awesome mom to three boys, and started me on the path to technology and space. ❤️

Came out pretty nicely. I left this one in the vinegar overnight and applied a firm brushing then a thin layer of mineral oil to bring out the color. Libby should like this :-)

Submerged some shells into white vinegar for a cleaning. Looks like it’s working 🐚🧪

Have you ever wanted to radio up to a plane and ask them to just most a little bit to the right?

As a Red Sox fan, my second favorite team is whoever beats the Yankees. So… Go Blue Jays!!

I lived in fear of this day, and it’s here. I finally got called out by The Onion

I don’t usually like AI imagery but this Google Gemini attempt at showing the Siberian Traps is actually pretty good. Not sure how accurate, but still neat to look at. 🌋

Found some nice views of tafoni in rocks up on the Maine coast that I took in 2014.

A beautiful closeup of a rock taken by the Mars Perseverance Rover using the WATSON camera this weekend on Sol 1644. The first image is under sunlight and the second is at night and under white LEDs. Zoom in a check out those mineral grains! flic.kr/p/2rxEeHT flic.kr/p/2rxLkc9

An interesting chunk of what I believe is epidosite that I found at work.
