Finally! After receiving my replacement ZWO 2600MM Pro (oil leak and fan causing vibration issues), we experienced an uncharacteristic three weeks of cloudy weather. This was a test shot of the Cygnus Wall in the North America Nebula. The image is 30 x 5min exposures in hydrogen alpha. #astronomy #astrophotography #astrophoto #space #nebula #deepspaceobject

Newly published research suggests that skyglow is increasing around the world on average at a rate much higher than previously thought. Read more about how citizen-scientists contributed to this new understanding and what the results mean for efforts to reduce light pollution and bring back starry nights.

Please stop using “mom” as an example of an unsophisticated user of technology. This reinforces harmful stereotypes.

Instead, I suggest using “congressperson”.

Matt Gaetz went on MSNBC last night to claim he never begged Trump for a pardon. Riiiiight. 🙄

Watch Gaetz squirm as Ari Melber brings the instant video receipts rebutting his lie. The schadenfreude is real: https://www.comicsands.com/ari-melber-matt-gaetz-pardon-2659335236.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=sand
