I’m still somewhat surprised that one can see the Orion Nebula in photos taken with a phone camera now. It was good to see he’s still in the hunt up there, soon he’ll disappear again until next fall. A deliberately slightly out of focus shot better shows differences in stellar surface temperatures.
Got out for an evening walk with @vexedmuddler.bsky.social and, having been clouded out on our earlier attempt to spot Mercury, we tried again with perfectly clear skies to the west. Success! As we crossed the old “Guilford Quarry Pratt Through Truss Bridge” we were joined by a moonshadow.

Did you know that JPL has a whole gallery of beautifully illustrated Halloween posters, based on real science? Perfect to print and decorate your space, use as a wallpaper on your computer or phone, or as a Zoom background.
We also have a motley collection of solar-powered glass lawn critters, which remain up year-round despite their holiday leanings.
We chose the ones with the goofiest expressions – the ones that seemed least likely to be purchased by a “normal” consumer.
