NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE STAR-FORMING CLOUD N159 IN THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD!! 🌌
A field filled with stars and covered by clouds of gas and dust. The centre and left side are totally blanketed with billowing, bright red clouds. They are opaque some places — showing clusters of stars forming within — and transparent others. Small patches are dark black in colour, while a large cloud below the centre is mostly pale blue. The right side of the view, mostly gas-free, glitters with stars near and far

@naomiaklein.bsky.social: ”Where the Surrealists made irreverent and untameable art, the fascists sought a world of perfect symmetry. While the Surrealists embraced the frailties and mysteries of the human body, the fascists waged war on deviance.’’ www.equator.org/articles/sur...

“The Surrealists were willing to look into the abyss of so-called civilisation, admit to ‘pessimism all along the line,’ and nonetheless wrench from that darkness a poetics of revolutionary change,” @naomiaklein.bsky.social writes www.equator.org/articles/sur...
Surrealism Against Fascism • EQUATOR
A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanity’s capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?

“Moby-Dick is more than a whale, more even than a symbol for something ineffable — it is the spirit of the ocean, and the sea itself.”

#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
