So thrilled to share my first major deep sky project with my largest telescope finally brought online this summer.
This is a 45 hour exposure of the Trifid Nebula, a succinct look at 3 types of nebulae in one spot.
See the thread for more details and a link for the print!
Why were the Democrats so bold in stealing the 2020 election? I mean 81 million votes for Joe Biden? That's nuts.
Because they calculated the Republicans wouldn't do anything about it. No one would get prosecuted. No one would go to jail.
They were right.
A striking image captured by the Dark Energy Camera showing galaxies within the Fornax Cluster—the second-largest galaxy cluster in the vicinity of the Milky Way.
Dominating the center of the image are the elliptical galaxies NGC 1399 and NGC 1404, which consist primarily of old stars. In the lower right, the irregular galaxy NGC 1427A is visible; it bears a resemblance to the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is moving toward the cluster's center at a speed of approximately 610 km/s. This rapid movement will ultimately lead to the galaxy's destruction, as it is torn apart by the gravitational pull of other cluster members.
A number of background objects are also visible. Some are stars from our own Milky Way (identifiable by their diffraction spikes), while others are more distant galaxies. Upon closer inspection, one can see that some of the background points exhibit a spiral structure.

While it is sad, and frankly ridiculous, that Republicans are blocking Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general, it changes very little in practical terms. Blanche can serve indefinitely as acting attorney general because the statute imposes no time limit. So let him do exactly that. Whether he leaves office in 2029 as a former attorney general or a former acting attorney general is ultimately just a matter of cosmetics.
FINALLY! John Thune caved to MAGA pressure and decided to CANCEL August recess! Thank you to the nine Patriot Senators who REFUSED to take vacation before the SAVE Act passes!
It has now been 52 days since Mitch McConnell has been seen by anyone outside of his wife, supposedly.
He has missed over 40 Senate votes.
Taxation without representation is happening to every Kentuckian right now.
Is he dead?
There's a special place in hell for sellout propagandists like this. 28 homes are rebuilt in the Palisades. 28! Of 6k+ structures that burned. 18 months after the Camp Fire, 10x as many homes had been rebuilt in Paradise. 70% of us still don't even have permits. Filthy liars.
The Hole Keeps Getting Deeper...
As if things didn't go badly enough for Dr. Anthony Fauci during his Congressional testimony, Senator Josh Hawley alleges Fauci made ONE MILLION in CASH REWARDS during the pandemic:
"Under federal law, you cannot use your staff to go and apply for cash awards for yourself."
Will there finally be justice against Fauci?
Rubio: "We are shedding light on far-left terrorism and violence. If a bomb goes off somewhere and it's tied to a right-wing group, you get a lot of attention on that. But if it's a leftist group or an ANTIFA group, it gets no coverage."
