A stacked image of the night sky. In the background are star trails, in the foreground sattelite trails.
Satellite trails dominating an image. The faint lines in the background are mainly star trails.
Crux in the top left hand corner of the image.
A meteor travelling downwards, about 60 degrees below horizontal, bulges along the path caused by the frame refresh rate of the camera.
Calling astrophotographers!!! Garith Yang from UCL is conducting a research study into how aircraft and satellites intersect with astrophotography practices and how they shape a photographer's perception of the night sky. Take part by filling in this short questionnaire: tinyurl.com/yncd593j
It all went great.
I'm making a documentary about concrete. It's going to be a blockbuster.
It almost feels like casting ancient spells.
I don't take it for granted; and it is a rich blessing. No matter what the day brought me, good or ill, it's done. Time for sleep.
We don't always live like this, just trying to move house whilst keeping the rest of life flying along.
Same. We touch 40 from time to time. Give me -5 any day.

For bonus points, steam vegetables over the cooking pasta.
I put half the water in a pan, the other half in s kettle. Bring both to the boil, which as the mass of water is divided between two heating devices, is quicker. Salt the water in the pan, add water from kettle. Once boiling furiously, add the pasta, reboil, cook al dente.
But the concession stand profits...
Especially when you are married to their new partner.
I do not believe there is.
Impressive track-stacks from our #GMN/#UKMeteorNetwork #RaspberryPi #MeteorCameras in #Oxfordshire 13/14 Dec '25. The satellite/aircraft trails are not counted as meteors; they were just in the frame at the same time as a meteor occurred #Geminids #Geminids2025 #MeteorShower #GeminidMeteors
Lake with trees at the far side.
Looking forward to seeing with my own eyes in a few hours.
Two bright meteors in front of a tight comb of satellite trails, almost like Lissajous figures.
Satellites and a couple of meteors. It is getting out of hand.
Beautiful part of the world.
Bright streak, resembling a dagger tip from top left to bottom right against a background of star and sattelite trails.
Hopefully, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Yes.
A row of switches labeled with their function.
Loving the labeled switches in my hotel.
OH HELL NO
Nice, thank you.
Why are there more craters on the far side?
