I am an astronomer and a student of history, although not necessarily in that order.

Weapon of choice is my Questar Seven.
Can someone please send her, her mom, and her family a hug from me and my wife.

Yes. We are.

Honest to God if this crap was in a movie on television, we would turn it off, thinking that something this stupid couldn’t get green-lit to go into production.

Nothing new; just more proof points reinforcing what a criminal fuck this guy is.

Could be the family of the Colombian fisherman killed by Trump’s military goon squad.

And look out for an aurora outburst…

Trump is to money what coke whores were to cocaine back in the ‘70s.

Things didn’t work out well for them back then, either.

If she’s serious she should sue them.

I’ll be watching from northern Calif if the clouds break. Here was a view from dark skies in Yosemite NP a few weeks back.

How dare you normalize this criminal

Polymarket has Vance winning the presidency in 2028. Consider this your fair warning.

Heartbreaking… and loved it. What moviemaking is all about.

Great article; loved it.

Thanks! Great shot you’ve posted. Frankly, I’m amazed at some of the ISS captures some people have posted. Nicely done.

Very nice! I love shooting transits; here’s one of mine from a few years ago: iPhone recording in slo-mo mode to the 16mm eyepiece of my Questar 3.5

Duration was just about 1.4 seconds if I recall…

Happy Thanksgiving, George! I think we’re stuck until Congress and the Supreme Court grow some balls.

Not soon enough. I’d like to enjoy at least a few years in relative peace…
November 26, 2025 at 3:19 AM
Wow, that’s just nuts. We were in Fairbanks last year and the aurora was wonderful and beautiful, but nothing like that. What a capture!

Here was our view from Yosemite NP…

Trump never floated anything. He had the concept for a plan, which reminds me of some comedy I once saw, and that wasn’t real life, either.
November 26, 2025 at 1:51 AM
Very nice! May I ask what scope/camera/setup you used? Great grab.

PS: Take a look at Saturn if you haven’t done so recently… the reduced ring glare is making the moons pop!

What makes you say that? Everybody knew that the guard rails in place during his first term would not be here for the second.

I think we’re getting exactly what we deserve and deserve exactly what we’re getting from this criminal shitstain.

Never. “Deny, deflect, defer” is the motto of the Republican Party.
November 25, 2025 at 3:46 PM
Yes. He is.
