You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

This is an incredible image of comet 3I/ATLAS, taken by Satoru Murata ICQ Comet Observations group on 16 November 2025 from western New Mexico.
Structure within the major dust tail from the comet is clearly visible, together with two smaller jets trailing the nucleus and maybe even an anti-tail.

Late #Stunday post!
For some reason I was thinking back to the #landscape of the #Moab area.
Here's a well known area looking toward the #LaSalMountains.
I was on my way to Dead Horse and #Canyonlands that day, and stopped here to soak it up.

This little one, along with all the other insects we saw that day #hiking, were all moving slowly due to the chilly temperatures. Hopefully it dug itself a little den in the dirt.

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

Fall can really be a season of confusion at times.
This single bright flower was the only one of it's kind I saw.
Everything else, except the tough low grasses, was well on it's way to being dormant, or dead for the rest of the year.

Today's prompt is #Scape.
This view was pointed out to me on last weekend's hike, and I loved it because the wind turbines looked much more massive than the pylons by a bit of forced perspective. And they are huge!

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

If there are no consequences to the "president" for threatening political opponents with death or being cruel to reporters, then why is it even news? Just so we can all be sad about it?

Grief is a funny shaped thing.
This is a stuffed toy my grandmother sewed for me when I was a child. My mother found it years later, and saw that it was torn in spots, then mended it and gave it to me again.

Have you ever heard of Betty Webster? I hadn't until recently, and she co-discovered the first black hole ever found! Here's her story, to honor her memory and fantastic accomplishment.
