A quick one to keep it on the first page lol. I saw the moon! Yes that's the moon below. The otherworldliness of this image, obtained at ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in northern Chile, is due to a combination of natural and artificial light phenomena. This ethereal image captures a lunar...

Dang @BestBuds you came out with a flurry...well done!

Oh ya, we talk all the time...we see each every once in a while...covid has made that difficult though.

Lucky Chops doing Lipps: Funky Town and James Brown: I Got You

That looks like San Diego looking from downtown towards Point Loma and Coronado to the left...if so, I miss it dearly...especially since my beloved is still there.

Picked this up yesterday at Trulieve... Papaya Cake rosin and Northern Hashplant shatter as well. 9lb Hammer @ 21.195% Banana Hammock R1 @ 20.155% almost all the buds in this 1/8 were large...this was the largest, some purple in it and barely fit inside the container :) Mandarin Dream @...

This picture of the spectacular southern spiral galaxy NGC 300 was taken using the Wide Field Imager (WFI) at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile. It was assembled from many individual images through a large set of different filters over many observing nights, spanning several years. The main...

You are correct, you are not seeing the image real time. In fact, when you look at the moon in the sky it isn't real time either; you are actually seeing the moon approximately 1.26 seconds in he past since it takes the light 1.26 seconds to reach Earth. Likewise, you are seeing the Sun 499...

Have you ever wondered why you see telescopes shooting lasers at the sky? So, how do the lasers help to correct the images? The biggest barrier between ground-based telescopes and the stars is the Earth’s atmosphere. Atmospheric turbulence causes a romantic but undesired effect in astronomy...

Post continued due to 10,000 character limit... APEX ESO operates the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment, APEX, at one of the highest observatory sites on Earth, at an elevation of 5100 meters, high on the Chajnantor plateau in Chile’s Atacama region. APEX is a 12-metre diameter telescope, operating...

This will be more of an informational post (hope you all like it) about the European Southern Observatory. ESO at a glance The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is the pre-eminent intergovernmental science and technology organization in astronomy. It carries out an ambitious program focused...

So @cybrguy (and myself) likes the images with huge densities of stars, and who wouldn't lol. It shows how small the Earth, and humans for that matter, are in the grand scale of the Universe. Carl Sagan was right, we are just a pale blue dot, and all the posturing and sabre rattling our leaders...

@cybrguy you know I've come across a few similar to this that I'll post later. The common thing between all of them is that they have come from the ESO observatory in Chile (which encompasses several sites) which has many different types of telescopes. I know the two directly above are from...

NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has confirmed, for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the Moon. That means even more is there than we thought...more capabilities to make oxygen to breath, oxygen also as an oxidizer for fuel combined with the hydrogen...

In this spectacular image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, the galaxy NGC 2799 (on the left) is seemingly being pulled into the center of the galaxy NGC 2798 (on the right). Interacting galaxies, such as these, are so named because of the influence they have on each other, which...

Yosemite Horse Tail Falls, lit by the setting sun. Happens a couple of weeks in February only.

@FLelder ent I grew up down there...it's ALL scary now. I will visit my parents and brother there but not live there (my brother used to own Groove Surf and Skate in Dania till the landlord f'd over the whole complex.

Goose doing Bon Iver: AUATC just posted today, performed 10/19/20 Frederick, MD. I can't tell you all how happy I am these guys are doing live shows again.

My lavender going off...started as 2 tiny plants in July.
