MONDAY THOUGHT: The AI generated flyers are everywhere these days, but they aren't very effective. Even some meteorologists are using these "AI slop" graphics.

Had a tremendous night under clear, dark skies near Sonoita shooting dozens of sprites through the Milky Way core! An MCS formed about 200 miles in Mexico to the south through the evening and conditions were as ideal as ever! Here's a quick edit from one sprite! #azwx

We are proud to once again partner with @MidlandUSA this year! They have graciously provided some NOAA Weather Radios as door prizes. Everyone needs multiple, redundant ways to receive life-saving alerts.

I meticulously color-balanced and incrementally saturated this photo of the back side of the moon until I could see how impacts "paint" the lunar surface with different minerals

This is just a snippet of my collaboration with @astro_reid, who took this during a lunar flyby.

I love this polygon, what is that thing
