"go to TikTok. See for yourself."
![Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on ‘The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake:
“They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreickzwdynkak7r4lur6afktglm3gontqsq5r5c7jeewyecyd4dczla@jpeg)

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.
But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭
