Keeping things in focus.

I believe in human rights. If that offends you then you deserve to be offended.

My content/content I reskeet is SFW, but can be more on the mature side. The same does not hold true for all accounts I interact with/reskeet from.

Am I too late? Can I still post my lunar eclipse photos from last week? Have you seen too many yet? 🙂

It was very hazy with high clouds in Minnesota, but I made do. The low clouds rolled in right as totality was ending. We lucked out.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

One from the back catalog. I captured the stunning Western Veil Nebula from my backyard—an ethereal remnant of a supernova explosion ~10,000 years ago. Wisps of blue oxygen & red hydrogen dance in the cosmic void. A glimpse into our universe’s fiery past! #Astrophotography #VeilNebula
The image showcases the Western Veil Nebula, a vivid and intricate section of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. Wispy tendrils of glowing gas sweep across the frame, with striking blue filaments of ionized oxygen intertwined with vibrant red hydrogen emissions. Set against a deep black background sprinkled with distant stars, the nebula’s delicate, arc-like structures evoke the aftermath of a cosmic explosion. The overall composition conveys a sense of movement and timeless beauty, highlighting the interplay of color and light in this celestial phenomenon. The image was taken from my observatory with the following equipment Skywatcher Equinox 80 pro telescope with a televiewer TRF2008 0.8x focal reducer/flattener Atikone 6.0 CCD camera 3nm H-Alpha & 3nm Oxygen 3 filters all mounted on a Skywatcher EQ8. Ha 75 mins exposure Oiii 70 mins exposure Stacked in Astro Pixel Processor and combined into the HOO palette and processed in Afinity Photo.

Here's the final cover we're going with on #MesozoicArtII, featuring an image by Anthony Hutchings. The book is already available for preorder online. Out September 2025, and oh boy is it a thing of beauty. #palaeoart #paleoart #books #dinosaurs
Book cover, with title in gold and subtitle and editor names in white. Main image is colour depiction of a Cretaceous forest floor by Anthony Hutchings, showing a psittacosaur group. At right, two individuals are having a face to face altercation of some sort. The animals are warm brown, with yellowish and orange tones on their undersides, black spots on their arms and shoulders, and long quills on the tail.

This is just systematic white extremism and fundamentalism being legislated to harm intersectionality-aligned minorities.

A young, non-out LGBTQ person raised in a deeply religious home being outed (even in error) could mean violence, homelessness, detainment, restrictions — by their family.

Pasadena Humane (remember their cute Rose Parade float last week?) urgently needs donations to care for abandoned and injured animals. They are right on the front lines of the Eaton fire. If you're watching the news and feeling helpless, here's a way to help! give.pasadenahumane.org/give/264243/...

Show me a transgender woman that has been caught peeping or assaulting another woman in a bathroom. I’ll show you a man being peeping Tom for a day and who is NOT transgender.

the xbox pride controller is causing a bunch of incels to have emotional breakdowns on twitter & it makes me love how campy & maximalist the design is even more.
The pride edition of the xbox pro controller. It is extremely over designed & looks like a chaotic neon hurricane of homosexuality, trans rights, & queer diversity. Some nerd on twitter complaining about the pride controller. They are quoting a picture of it & saying: “If i walk into a friend's house and see this on the table, I'm torching the whole place and moving to another town.”

Why are these clouds multi-colored? A relatively rare phenomenon in clouds known as iridescence can bring up unusual colors vividly -- or even a whole spectrum of colors simultaneously. These polar stratospheric clouds also, known as nacreous and mother-of-pearl clouds, are formed of small water droplets of nearly uniform size. When the Sun is in the right position and, typically, hidden from direct view, these thin clouds can be seen significantly diffracting sunlight in a nearly coherent manner, with different colors being deflected by different amounts. Therefore, different colors will come to the observer from slightly different directions. Many clouds start with uniform regions that could show iridescence but quickly become too thick, too mixed, or too angularly far from the Sun to exhibit striking colors. The featured image and an accompanying video were taken late in 2019 over Ostersund, Sweden.

Do other stars have planets like our Sun? Surely they do, and evidence includes slight star wobbles created by the gravity of orbiting exoplanets and slight star dimmings caused by orbiting planets moving in front. In all, there have now been over 5,500 exoplanets discovered, including thousands by NASA's space-based Kepler and TESS missions, and over 100 by ESO's ground-based HARPS instrument. Featured here is an illustrated guess as to what some of these exoplanets might look like. Neptune-type planets occupy the middle and are colored blue because of blue-scattering atmospheric methane they might contain. On the sides of the illustration, Jupiter-type planets are shown, colored tan and red from the scatterings of atmospheric gases that likely include small amounts of carbon. Interspersed are many Earth-type rocky planets of many colors. As more exoplanets are discovered and investigated, humanity is developing a better understanding of how common Earth-like planets are, and how common life might be in the universe.

What glows in the night? This night featured a combination of usual and unusual glows. Perhaps the most usual glow was from the Moon, a potentially familiar object. The full Moon's nearly vertical descent results from the observer being near Earth's equator. As the Moon sets, air and aerosols in Earth's atmosphere preferentially scatter out blue light, making the Sun-reflecting satellite appear reddish when near the horizon. Perhaps the most unusual glow was from the bioluminescent plankton, likely less familiar objects. These microscopic creatures glow blue, it is thought, primarily to surprise and deter predators. In this case, the glow was caused primarily by plankton-containing waves crashing onto the beach. The image was taken on Soneva Fushi Island, Maldives just over one year ago.
