Looking NNE you’ll see Gemini, joined by an extremely bright planet - the gas giant of Jupiter!
All visible to the naked eye to those of us with relatively clear and dark skies, even in the inner cities you may be able to make out Jupiter!
Happy gazing 🤩

By 9pm, the mighty hunter, Orion, will be firmly above the horizon if you look SE.
Possibly the most famous shape in the night sky with the 3 stars in his belt and the bright yellow star at his shoulder -Betelgeuse - all clearly visible to anyone with dark to moderately light polluted skies

There’s so gorgeously clear skies above me tonight, if that’s the case for you too, this time of year is PERFECT for anyone wanting to see the stars ✨
The big fan faves are all there to see.
Right now, Taurus is visible, including the asterism which makes part of this constellation: the Pleiades

I love this time of year, when Orion appears at a reasonable time in the sky 🌌
Jupiter is there shining bright like a beacon too!

The importance of place and native names always seems to cause such hateful division in Cymru, which I don’t understand.
It’s so sad people cannot grasp what magic it brings to landscapes to embrace their native Cymraeg names.
Let’s look at ‘The Spinnies’. A local nature reserve 🏴

So much rain coming down relentlessly all day. A5 between Tregarth and Bethesda was barely passable. A BMW started to smoke just after this and got a bit buoyant.
1.5C exceeded. More scenes like this to come, more frequently, and closer and closer to home.

If this is you in a camper van, parked at Eshaness lighthouse, for the love of God, switch your lights off!
You’ve been sat with your headlights on for over 45 mins 😂
You can’t see aurora if you sit in a van with all your lights on…

Currently active and visible from the UK! If (and it’s a big if!) you have clear skies, pop out and take a look.
This is a screenshot from Shetland Webcam. I’d be very annoyed by the campervan with all its lights on!

I worry about AI illiteracy. Over 6k people liked, shared and commented on these images and the vast majority are not questioning what they see and accept them as real, which I find utterly astounding but there we are. If people believe this bollocks is real, what won’t they believe?

Look at this pure feast for the senses, the colours, the textures, the gorgeously voluptuous sloes, the wisened lichens and velvety mosses.

If you can see the Moon tonight, you can also see Saturn!
Look for a small, but bright, light, roughly at the Moon’s 5 o’clock

Honourable mention to the brave souls flying INTO this beast of a hurricane in the name of science to better inform citizens on the ground.
The same scientists Trump wants to defund because he doesn’t like it when storms show him climate change is real.

Poor Jamaica. This hurricane is a monster. Really hope there’s aid prepared to get out there as soon as it’s safe and that no one is harmed. I can’t fathom the damage a storm like this could do. That thing is mind bogglingly huge and strong.

Got to see this wonderful human in the flesh last night and it made me feel a little less like an island in a sea of AI automated slop that people are throwing themselves to swim in with no thought for the impacts.
Thanks Ron. Bill. Nick Offerman.
