A Velociraptor created by Grok from a 2004 photo in Devon. Well on my way to releasing my own Dino movie.. #dinosaurs #velociraptor #jurassicpark

Failed on the Leonids last night. Light pollution has got so much worse here. #leonids #lightpollution #astrophotography

We look small here; if the Moon was a 1mm grain of sand then the Earth would be a pencil length away, about 11.07cm, and be the size of a lentil or 3.63 mm. The sun would be 0.4 metres in diameter and be 43.06 metres, 3 school buses away from Earth. #moon #sun #astrophotography

Went to the seaside at Clevedon to try to catch the comet when this appeared over the western horizon. I was on the wrong ISO etc as I was hunting for Lemmon. I think it is today's Falcon 9 launch of Starlinks. #astrophotography #astronomy #spacex #lemmon

Sunset of the photosphere 29052025 and cloudless. Zoomed in as much as possible but still couldn't make it rise up and then change size, shooting off into the distance like those flat Earthers can. #sun #astrophotography #astronomy #space #flatearth #astronomy

AR4100..or 4079 or 4055? This active group has been round the Sun three times and existed for 54 days so far. As newly named 4100 it is looking more spectacular. #sun #sunhour #sunspots #astrophotography #astronomy #space

Sun today 20052025 Ha showing chromosphere. Big hole in the south allowing solar wind to escape. Coronal holes are darker because hot glowing gas normally contained there is absent. It may be on it's way to Earth. #sun #solar #sunspots #astrophotography #astronomy #space
