I am an astronomer and a student of history, although not necessarily in that order. Weapon of choice is my Questar Seven.
Everyone should walk out on Trump. Now. @cnn.com @msnowreports.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @cbsnews.com Get moving, kids.
To @cnn.com at the WH Correspondents Dinner: Hey CNN: leave @kaitlancollins.bsky.social alone. Nobody cares about Trump’s ‘smiling’ comments and you only normalize his bullshit by commenting on it at all. Kaitlin, you’re great, and we love you.
A nice daytime view of the Moon and Venus is happening now, for those interested. Venus should be an easy binocular target; find the Moon, scan up 7-8 diameters or so, and then hang a slight left. 😉 #astronomy #photography
Hey, Maggie and Jonathan, I fixed it for you. You’re welcome. @simonandschuster.bsky.social @nytimes.com
@markleibovich.bsky.social I love sneaking peeks at personal libraries. How are your books all the same height? 😉 @ms.now
My copy arrives July 7. Please keep in mind that the Iranians and Israelis - and our allies and enemies - will be reading it, too. @nytimes.com
There’s no space in my life for the New CBS. If I want lies I can watch Fox. @cbsnews.com
It began a while ago. CBS and Paramount are dead 💀
When historians parse this presidency, they will learn that one of Trump‘s tenets was, ‘Spend every dollar you can.’ When his name was put on the Kennedy center they used scissor lifts, and to remove it they spent $1 million on manpower and equipment when they could’ve done it in a day for $25,000.
Here’s our Moon rising with the Pleiades earlier this morning. Tomorrow I’ll try to spot and photograph it at just about 0.6% full. #astronomy #photography
Giving a shout-out to Kristen Welker for a job well done, while showing Bari Weiss - and others - how to not back away from pathetic liars. @kristenwelker.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @meetthepress.com @cbsnews.com
@kristenwelker.bsky.social Great job with Trump. Are you saving these? You should be able to wallpaper your house with enough of them, but save room for your Pulitzer! And ps: we love you!! @nbcnews.com @meetthepress.com
@nenrich.bsky.social A great book, a great read…. and it only took 750,000 lives to write it. Heartbreaking.
A hug to you for your review of ‘The Dog’s Gaze’ in the new issue of TNY. It’s not like losing a parent; it’s more like losing a child. Applying human sensibilities to dogs/cats can be tough. Our pets live better than 40% of the world - living in poverty. @newyorker.com @adamgopnik.bsky.social
God bless Scott Pelley. And goodbye, 60 Minutes. @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @cbsnews.com @60minutes.bsky.social @ms.now
@assemblydems.bsky.social @cademocrats.bsky.social Cal Dems: now that Bessera has the lead, STOP trying to fragment the Party by continuing to air your attack ads targeting each other. The enemy is on the OTHER side of the aisle, not this one. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov
The Moon, captured at 12:45pm and just 5% full, with a passing jet. Venus is below the frame. #astronomy #photography
Happy 96th birthday (yesterday) to Jasper Johns, America’s Michelangelo - and greatest living artist. @moma.bsky.social @metart.bsky.social
This beauty is M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, situated right at the edge of the handle of the Big Dipper. Fifty-five minute exposure with a Seestar S30 Pro. #astronomy
Here’s a quick look at the Andromeda Galaxy - it’s only a 15 minute exposure because it rose just before sunrise. The light from this galaxy took 2 1/2 million years to get here. I’ll post a better picture in a few months when it’s positioned higher in a darker sky. #astronomy
This is exactly what the presidency of a madman in turmoil looks like. Expect anything. It’s all being staged for an audience of one. @maddow.bsky.social @cnn.com
@metropolitanopera.bsky.social I hope you know that Donald Trump told Saudi Arabia to pull back their proposed $200 million donation to you only because he’s an asshole. @mayor.nyc.gov @moma.bsky.social @metmuseum.org
Hey S&T: I think you have your dates mixed up. As far as I can tell, the lunar occultation of Regulus occurs Friday, April 25, not Saturday, April 26. @skyandtelescope.bsky.social
Here’s a look at the Moon and Venus setting into clouds, with the Pleiades visible in a bit of clear sky above. #astronomy
Once Trump is out of office, pardons granted to any White House staff must be rescinded, and those people, along with Trump and his family, must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. @cnn.com @msnowreports.bsky.social @thebulwark.com @barbmcquade.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social
The haze or "aura" often seen around a lightning bolt is caused by the intense ionization of nitrogen and oxygen in the air as the bolt discharges, creating plasma that illuminates as it cools. This phenomenon is captured in high-speed photography, reflecting the electrical energy discharge.
I’ll be surprised if even a single Trump dollar passing through my hands doesn’t have this criminal motherfucker’s signature blacked out.
Here are a few eclipse pics. I am looking up (and would be interested in knowing) what star the moon occulted at 4:19 AM Pacific time. iPhone to my Questar 3.5 at 50x mag. #astronomy #photography #moon
