This is one of my favourite space photos.
It's Pluto, backlit by the Sun, imaged by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft in 2015.
Look carefully and you can see the planet's irregular topography and the layering in its atmosphere.

As it was Buddy and Gizmo’s 10th birthday earlier this week let’s go back to the very first time we met the dynamic duo! Fairly easy to spot Gizmo - he’s always been the leader of the pack…when Buddy allowed it 😹😹🦁🦁 #ThrowbackThursday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Where have you been hiding??
Not full size yet but almost. A Sphinx moth caterpillar of so sort. Maybe Rustic or Carolina? I thought the tiny white spots might be a clue but not helping me. #invertes SoCal

Here's the blooper version I mentioned. (I have no idea who the uploader is or how they got a copy of this. But I am glad that it survives.)

Amidst all the #Auroraborealis action here's today's "blue marble" full-disk shot from GOES-18. At 2030 UTC / 12:30 PM PST. As received and processed from the 1.7 GHz radio signal with my own @Nooelec ground station operating in Vancouver.

Saw someone post that they didn’t want to take any aurora photos because it was cliché, everyone’s doing it
The sky’s full of mystical dancing lights, from particles miles above us, excited by a burp from our local star. You’re allowed to be excited about cool shit, and this is especially cool shit

AURORA UPDATE 430PM 🌌
This is that 3 hour heads up I was talking about.
Plain and simple: likely not going to happen.
The plasma blob arrived, so it's here (picture 1), but.... the magnetic field is pointing the wrong direction (picture 2).

Nights like this are the best. All the trouble of the world is momentarily set aside while we're collectively marveling at the pretty lights and nature together. This is how it's supposed to be. Life, I mean. Shared joy and all. 🙂

Weird that we have a planet-wide magnetic defense system that self activates when the sun decides to attack but it is very pretty
