1/ The Flying Bat nebula (Sh2-129), hiding within it the famous and extremely elusive blue Squid (Ou4), has been my longest-running project so far, and the one I’ve spent the most nights on over the past three years.

The otters are at it again! A surfer at Steamer Lane was bitten on the foot by a sea otter (definitely not Steve) who then stole her board for 20 minutes. Officials aren’t sure if it’s the infamous Otter 841 or a bold copycat — either way, the legend continues 🦦🏄♀️

People tend to dismiss VP Pence’s actions on J6: he was just doing his job, why should he get any credit for simply sticking to the letter of the law?
