A band of clouds lessens the colour here. But the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus is something to behold. #nunavut #arctic #Astrophotography #photography

Wonderful! Sadly cloudy here in Carmarthenshire last night.

As an aside, I'm currently reading "Helliconia" by Brian Aldiss.

Scaled a little, this could be Batalix and Freyr in the Helliconian Great Winter

@Henrysbridge I’ve never read the books, but they sound intriguing.

Well worth the read. "Helliconia" is a huge exercise in "world building". There's loads of characters across many centuries, but they take second place to the main character - the Helliconia system itself.

As a physicist, I'm a little twitchy about some of the astrophysics ( I keep meaning to run a few numbers) but that doesn't affect my enjoyment.
