Working from home due to the winter storm. Got a nice shot of the local wildlife here. #Maryland #Snow

Spotted #comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS tonight from Maryland. A lot fainter than expected. This was a 5-second shot from my pone camera at about 7:20pm 🔭
The #aurora from Maryland! First time I see them and from the convenience of my balcony. It's visible with the naked eye, but just barely. Comes out much better with a picture. 🔭
Got a chance to see the Mission Operations Center (MOC) for the James Webb Space Telescope ( #JWST) today! This is where the observatory and telescope are controlled from. Cool to see where the magic happens, even though it's much downscaled from how big/busy it was at launch. 😁

And before you say, "It's not working very well", remember it's not working as well, because Conservatives in other countries are trying to tank it, just like in America. Go ahead and ask if people want to get rid of it though.
