Fly me to the Moon!! ... Another timelapse I made from the @NASAArtemis photos. This is during their lunar flyby, with the window frame partially obstructing the view, which really gives a sense of what @astro_reid must have witnessed

@cosmosarcive That is Not a Hubble image of Mars.

@xxChessMaster Rook takes pawn on f4. King takes rook. Rook on h5 moves to f5. I think 🤔

@SubcommanderT TOS is My trek. Been watching it for 50 years and still visit it weekly. The only thing that they really screwed up imo were the distances and times to traverse them. 900 light years in a matter of hours etc. Other than that the slight inconsistencies in continuity are trivial.

@tntsports I’m sick of seeing these silly camera angles. They post them as if they are somehow ‘ modern’

[Deep Sky Mike @deepskymike]

Better version.

Live satellite images of Australia on my iPad compared to the live images of the incoming Artemis crew. Amazing.

@MckeeganDave @TrevorL415 Keep fighting the good fight Dave. For every poor soul these imbeciles manage to con, you’ll hopefully save many more from being dragged down.

@StanCollymore Cheers Stan. Bookmarked.

@BDuhndat Lay off the meds. Or better still, take the correct ones.

Updated my profile to reflect that I have now logged 2061 different astronomical objects from my bortle 6/7 backyard.
Most new deep sky targets are now difficult to pull from the sky glow but I reckon I can manage another 300ish.
Plus plenty of asteroids and comets to log 🙂

@GermanEmbassy That’ll be Nil point then.

@Snooker_Chat Good

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump Trying to impress the world with a “look at me conversing with the president of the USA“ post, is not the flex you think it is. #historywilljudge

[Deep Sky Mike @deepskymike]

@Nick_Metcalfe I agree totally. What’s with the extended score graphic though? That’s annoying as hell.

First time I’ve ever gotten the telescope out on Christmas night. Just got back in the house a little bit colder than when I left it 5 hours ago. Seen plenty of objects including 6 new faint planetary nebulae. Happy Christmas indeed 😊
