To kick off my weekend posts, here is a photo from October 20th of Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS (C/2023 A3) and the Milky Way. A waning moon really made the stars pop in the late evening. #comet #astrophotography

Let me introduce Terras Ignus, aka Terry, a weather ingot of igneous rock from one of the Hawaiian Islands. Terry's adventures in academia and around the world will be interspersed between messages looking at science, engineering, and energy. This week, Terry was helping out with exam grading.
