[The Astronomy Guy @astrooalert]

🌕✨ This isn't a Giant Moon.

It's one of the most difficult types of photographs in astronomy.

Captured during the rare May 2026 Blue Moon, this image shows the full Moon rising behind Stonehenge using a technique called perspective compression.

The Moon only looks enormous because the photographer was positioned miles away with an extremely powerful telephoto lens.

In reality, the Moon was nearly 384,000 km from Earth.

Stonehenge was built more than 4,000 years ago.

And tonight, those ancient stones stood beneath the same Moon that humans have watched for thousands of years.

The timing had to be nearly perfect.

A few minutes too early or too late, and the alignment would be gone.

Others capture thousands of years of history in a single frame. 🌌

One single thread of gold tied me to you 💫

Seen here by @NASAHubble is NGC 7714, a spiral galaxy located about 100 million light-years from Earth. The golden haze is made up of millions of stars stretching from the galaxy’s center and bridging to a nearby galactic companion.

There’s a lot of alpha in putting your ego aside by being willing to be cringe, willing to fail in public, willing to ask for what you want and face rejection, etc.

@GregAndrewsBurn @BalesBets okay but we're splitting it @BalesBets 🫡

[Madeleine Goldberg @VCMadeleine]

i’ve been thinking about a concept I’m calling Barbell Distribution. many of the most valuable companies cluster at two GTM extremes - and the middle is getting squeezed...

[Madeleine Goldberg @VCMadeleine]

@GregAndrewsBurn @BalesBets Followed

[Madeleine Goldberg @VCMadeleine]

@del_vol Ideally this reaches the audience it is meant for

[Madeleine Goldberg @VCMadeleine]

what connects both extremes: distribution that can’t be replicated by writing a bigger check. PLG wins because the product spreads itself. niche/complex wins because credibility and the relationship - or even product development - took years. in both cases, more money alone doesn’t buy growth

[Madeleine Goldberg @VCMadeleine]

the middle - hybrid enterprise sales - is enormously valuable (Databricks, Rippling, Ramp). but it’s where growth investors pour capital into repeatable outbound motions. at seed, signal is often weakest and entry math is hardest...
