Sometimes, the Moon passes directly in front of the beautiful Pleiades star cluster in a celestial event called an occultation! This composite image from Spain captures the Moon's visit. These monthly occultations last until 2029, then not again until 2042!

I really hope this app becomes better and gains popularity so people would just ditch elon’s twitter. It’s becoming so dystopian over there.

A tale of Elon and his apologists:
Elon lets Nazis back on his platform - "he's defending free speech"
He regularly amplifies supremacist ideologies, memes and conspiracy theories - "he's doing it for engagement"
He does the Nazi salute (twice) - "he has autism-ish"
Elon is a Nazi.
The End.

May it remain that way and may these spaces grow and flourish.

A popular youtube channel interviewing Israelis asked ordinary Israelis about Palestinian civilian deaths - and let’s just say that when we talk about a genocidal political culture being the norm in Israel we are not exaggerating. This is absolutely Nazi sh*t.
