By me: One in every 25 participants at Cop30 is a fossil fuel lobbyist, outnumbering every country delegation apart from Brazil, and as Indigenous peoples struggle to get a seat at the table

#Comet C/2025 A6 #Lemmon in the constellation Boötes, on the evening of October 24th. Captured from the light polluted outskirts of Munich.

16 minutes integration time with my Fujifilm X-S10 and 135mm f4.5 lens (untracked).

#astrophotography 🔭
A starfield with many small and colorful stars is dominated by comet Lemmon which is oriented diagonally in the frame. The comet has a greenish coma and a diffuse yellowish dust tail is pointing up from the nucleus. Layered with the dust tail is the blueish ion-tail which is much narrower and longer, stretching beyond the top of the image. The ion tail shows some slight undulations from changes in the comets activity over time.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

A potential, strong biosignature on #Mars?

So it seems.

Let's take it step by step

In July 2024, the Perseverance rover collected a Martian rock sample nicknamed "Sapphire Canyon". On 10 Sept. 2025, NASA held a press conference to inform about this sample analysis.

The peaks of Cerro Paine Grande, towering 2.6 km above, are enveloped in burst of red that was able to break through dense cloud cover. A spectacular yet brief moment, so typical of Patagonia!

This magnificent image, captured by JWST's NIRCam instrument, features Pismis 24.
It is a young star cluster in the heart of the nearby Lobster Nebula, located some 5,500 ly away in Scorpius.

"In what appears as a celestial dreamscape, a blue and black sky filled with brilliant stars covers about two thirds of the image. The stars are different sizes and shades of white, beige, yellow, and light orange. Across the bottom third of the scene is a craggy, mountain-like vista with spire-like peaks and deep, seemingly misty valleys. These so-called mountains appear in varying shades of orange, yellow, and brown. Above their soaring spires is a wispy, ethereal white cloud that stretched horizontally across the scene. Steam appears to rise from the mountaintops and join with this cloud. At the top, right corner of the image, a swath of orange and brown structure cuts diagonally across the sky."
