40+ year old with a pair of cats living in Northwest Arkansas that likes a bunch of random shit.

I sometimes get out on the weekends to take nature photos. Feel free to correct any labels I have on my photos, not an expert and appreciate the help.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday! #SuperbOwl #owls #wildlife
A Great Grey Owl with wings spread and legs stretched out. A juvenile Barred Owl looks out from behind a tree. A Northern Saw Whet owl sitting on a branch. It is brown and white with piercing yellow eyes. A Boreal Owl sitting on a branch. She looks almost round and has bright yellow eyes. She is unbelievably adorable.

Today was a decent 42nd birthday.
Had lunch with my grands (grandmother turned 87 yesterday) and my maternal folks from a local cuban joint while rewatching the new Muppet Show.
Fried pork chunks with grilled onions, black beans and white rice along with a couple of maduros is ridiculously filling

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

Horror movie in which the party being chased by a seemingly unstoppable monster find that it is empowered by and tracks whoever is currently attracted to it.

Movie goes paranoia route as party tries to figure out who's the monsterfucker and how attracted one can be without triggering the sexy beast

Take 2 minutes of your time and watch "The Hyrule Fantasy", a lovely Zelda fan film by french animator Ousmane Cissé.

🔭 Crescent Enceladus

Image Credit: Cassini Imaging Team, SSI, JPL, ESA, NASA

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26020...
Peering from the shadows, the Saturn-facing hemisphere of tantalizing inner moon Enceladus poses in this Cassini spacecraft image. North is up in the dramatic scene captured during November 2016 as Cassini's camera was pointed in a nearly sunward direction about 130,000 kilometers from the moon's bright crescent. In fact, the distant world reflects over 90 percent of the sunlight it receives, giving its surface about the same reflectivity as fresh snow. A mere 500 kilometers in diameter, Enceladus is a surprisingly active moon. Data and images collected during Cassini's flybys have revealed water vapor and ice grains spewing from south polar geysers and evidence of an ocean of liquid water hidden beneath the moon's icy crust.

🔭 Supernova Remnant Cassiopeia A

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26020...
Massive stars in our Milky Way Galaxy live spectacular lives. Collapsing from vast cosmic clouds, their nuclear furnaces ignite and create heavy elements in their cores. After only a few million years for the most massive stars, the enriched material is blasted back into interstellar space where star formation can begin anew. The expanding debris cloud known as Cassiopeia A is an example of this final phase of the stellar life cycle. Light from the supernova explosion that created this remnant would have been first seen in planet Earth's sky about 350 years ago, although it took that light 11,000 years to reach us. This sharp NIRCam image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the still-hot filaments and knots in the supernova remnant. The whitish, smoke-like outer shell of the expanding blast wave is about 20 light-years across. A series of light echoes from the massive star's cataclysmic explosion are also identified in Webb's detailed images of the surrounding interstellar medium.

🔭 NGC 1275 in the Perseus Cluster

Image Credit & Copyright: Michal Wierzbinski, Hellas-Sky

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26020...
Active galaxy NGC 1275 is the central, dominant member of the large and relatively nearby Perseus Cluster of Galaxies. Wild-looking at visible wavelengths, the active galaxy is also a prodigious source of x-rays and radio emission. NGC 1275 accretes matter as entire galaxies fall into it, ultimately feeding a supermassive black hole at the galaxy's core. Narrowband image data used in this sharp telescopic image highlights the resulting galactic debris and filaments of glowing gas, some up to 20,000 light-years long. The filaments persist in NGC 1275, even though the turmoil of galactic collisions should destroy them. What keeps the filaments together? Observations indicate that the structures, pushed out from the galaxy's center by the black hole's activity, are held together by magnetic fields. Also known as Perseus A, NGC 1275 itself spans over 100,000 light years and lies about 230 million light years away.

A spiral galaxy is shown that seems to have rings in place of spiral arms. The outer ring is blue and filled with stars, while the inner ring is more red. The center has a vertical bar. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

🔭 Artemis I: Flight Day 13

Image Credit: NASA, Artemis I

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26013...
On flight day 13 (November 28, 2022) of the Artemis 1 mission, the Orion spacecraft reached its maximum distance from Earth. At over 430,000 kilometers from Earth, its distant retrograde orbit also puts Orion nearly 70,000 kilometers from the Moon. In the same field of view in this video frame from flight day 13, planet and large natural satellite even appear about the same apparent size from the spacecraft's perspective. On flight day 26 (December 11, 2022), the uncrewed spacecraft splashed down on its home world concluding the historic Artemis I mission. The Artemis II mission, carrying 4 astronauts around the moon and back again, will launch no earlier than February 8.

🔭 NGC 1333: Stellar Nursery in Perseus

Image Credit & Copyright: Robert Eder

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26013...
NGC 1333 is seen in visible light as a reflection nebula, dominated by bluish hues characteristic of starlight reflected by interstellar dust. A mere 1,000 light-years distant toward the heroic constellation Perseus, it lies at the edge of a large, star-forming molecular cloud. This telescopic close-up spans over two full moons on the sky or just over 15 light-years at the estimated distance of NGC 1333. It shows details of the dusty region along with telltale hints of contrasty red emission from Herbig-Haro objects, jets and shocked glowing gas emanating from recently formed stars. In fact, NGC 1333 contains hundreds of stars less than a million years old, most still hidden from optical telescopes by the pervasive stardust. The chaotic environment may be similar to one in which our own Sun formed over 4.5 billion years ago.
