Absolutely stunning moonbow out tonight. The belt of Orion is visible in the lower left. The planet Jupiter, the top left. And capella shines brightly to the right. Gorgeous! #Astronomy #moon #tennessee #moon #nature #Space

Last sunset of 2025, from Pickett State Park, a 1930s CCC works project in #tennessee. It’s now an international dark sky site as well! #darksky

Tonight's space ship console. We'll be exploring a new planet in the Roland System #synth #eurorack #moog #roland
A Moog Matriarch synthesizer (and 5 octave keyboard) with a Roland System 100 clone from Behringer stacked on top, with sliders glowing red. On top of this is a lego set "Tales of the Space Age" with various space scenes.

Since it was a nice warm day, I took the lights down. Guess I can put away the holiday jersey until next year. #xmas #christmas #holidaylights #griswold
A man carrying a 30 foot extension pole wearing a Chicago hockey jersey that says Griswold 00 on the back. He’s walking away from the camera through a yard. Piles of Christmas ornaments and electrical extension cords on a porch

Sure Reverb. I just "forgot" that $500,000 vintage synth in my cart.
An email from Reverb that says: Forgetting Something? We noticed that you left something in your cart. Just a reminder: there are no reservations on Reverb, so live listings can be bought by someone else at any time. EMS Synthi 100 1974 $500,000

The accompanying News & Views piece "Even in space, satellites photobomb telescopes" by @merrdiff.bsky.social is excellent!

Here's a lovely space-based telescope image, with 560,000 satellite friends. Thanks, techbros.
2 side-by-side images of a couple of galaxies, taken from a space-based telescope so the images are very sharp. The right image is covered by bright lines. It looks like a spiderweb on top of the two galaxies.
