The Great Orion Nebula - my first target in 2019 after a long break I had to take because of cloudy skies.
With my phone through my Sky-Watcher 150/750 Newton Reflector.

Many people in this world are lonely, are struggling, and just need to be heard, to know their life matters. It does. You're beautiful. I meet folks, see the pain in their eyes & realize we're the same. Everybody, we're all lost, a little or a lot. But we're all lost together.
@lebloserGeist@likeylola das was Leon sagt und sonst maybe noch schauen ob es an der uni irgendwelche Studentengruppen/-initiativen gibt, bei denen du vielleicht mitmachen willst. und Leute ansprechen wenn die Gelegenheit kommt - eig sind alle immer auf kontaktsuche
LIFTOFF OF ARTEMIS I TO THE MOON
NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the uncrewed Orion capsule lift off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida early this morning, with the capsule’s destination — the Moon — as a backdrop.
I believe in the power of conversation (between leaders) to help avoid World War III. This requires of our leaders: strength of character, empathy, emotional intelligence, and deep historical knowledge of the nations involved.
War is hell. I keep thinking about the cold ruthlessness of a rocket tearing through the air toward a building full of human beings who have only a few seconds left to live. That one rocket creates suffering and hatred in the hearts of thousands for many years to come.
And in the evening the transition from bright to dim light does the opposite, (it reduces cortisol) but allows increases in melatonin.
• The late evening and nighttime increase in melatonin supports proper transition into deep sleep.
• Bright light quashes melatonin.
To ensure a terrible nights sleep:
1) nap more than 90min in the afternoon
2) >100mg caffeine after 4pm
3) eat right before bed time (I confess I do this now and again, as I can’t fall asleep hungry)
4) Sleep in on weekends more than 1hr longer than usual duration
