We report: when the clouds form out of the ether this way, we get the feeling we are being shown the invisible mechanism that holds the sky together. The scales of this mackerel sky are rapidly joining together, and we can feel the air getting more humid. We unfold our raincoat.
Digital painting of a blue sky, covered in small white clouds tightly packed together, varying in size and opacity so as to form an undulating blanket.

dear gosh i was not considering the implications

a gigantic wereguar just, appearing out of nowhere is a terrifying concept.

just ever present, blending into the horizon, but until a glint of sunlight draws your attention, you don't even realize it's there.
A mountainous landscape dotted with soft, puffy clouds. In the distance is an incredible wereguar, one of a near incomprehensible size. You can't see its face, and it's so far in the distance that it's colored by the hue of the sky. The lower half of its body disappears over the horizon.

'Two in Blue'

A minimal shot for this week's #BlueSkyArtShow #Sky

Two acrobatic planes practice formation flight over Wensleydale before an airshow

Sparty 🙏🏼💙

#EastCoastKin #Photography #Art #Aviation #Clouds #Minimal #PhotographersofBluesky #Travel #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueskyArt #YorkshireDales
This photo captures a vivid, high-contrast scene of the sky on a bright, sunny day. The dominant feature is the expansive deep blue sky which fills the majority of the frame and provides a striking backdrop. The blue colour is rich and saturated, with slight gradients that appear lighter towards the middle and and a touch deeper toward the edges of the image. In the upper left quadrant, two small, dark silhouettes of airplanes are visible, flying in formation. Due to the distance, specific details of the aircraft are minimal, but they appear to be propeller planes, possibly vintage and aerobatic, given their relative size and positioning. The planes lack visible contrails due to flying at a lower altitude with atmospheric conditions that do not favour the formation of vapour trails. The lower right portion of the image is occupied by large, billowing white clouds. These clouds have significant volume and texture, with defined edges that contrast sharply against the deep blue sky. Their bright white colour suggests strong sunlight is hitting them directly. A smaller, wispier patch of cloud is also present higher up in the centre. The composition places the planes within the vast open space of the blue sky, balancing them against the mass of the white cloud below. The overall image evokes a sense of freedom and the dynamic movement of aviation against a beautiful, open sky. The lighting is harsh, creating deep shadows on the underside of the clouds and highlighting their three-dimensional form. The image is clean and minimalist, focusing the viewer's attention on the stark contrast between the man-made objects and the natural sky environment.

A gigantic object splits the sky, and heads towards its intended target.
Wait...
That's no meteor!
It's Red XIII!

A cosmic sized Red XIII looms onto the battlefield. At this size, I hope his aim is true, or he might wipe out his own team along with whatever enemy he has been summoned against.

🔭 The Bipolar Jets of KX Andromedae

Image Credit & Copyright: Tim Schaeffer and the Deep Sky Collective

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25120...
Blasting outward from variable star KX Andromedae, these stunning bipolar jets are 19 light-years long. Recently discovered, they are revealed in unprecedented detail in this deep telescopic image centered on KX And and composed from over 692 hours of combined image data. In fact, KX And is spectroscopically found to be an interacting binary star system consisting of a bright, hot B-type star with a swollen cool giant star as its co-orbiting, close companion. The stellar material from the cool giant star is likely being transferred to the hot B-type star through an accretion disk, with spectacular symmetric jets driven outward perpendicular to the disk itself. The known distance to KX And of 2,500 light-years, angular size of the jets, and estimated inclination of the accretion disk lead to the size estimate for each jet of an astonishing 19 light-years.

Since You Asked So Nicely
#-wootEdits
In the unedited screenshot, Agent Hill of S.H.I.E.L.D. stands in the middle of the frame. She's wearing a combat repulsor pack and she's walking towards two subordinate male agents who are almost cropped out of the image. They both have their futuristic guns drawn. In the background is the city skyline and a starry sky beyond. In the edited screenshot Agent Hill is relying on the repulsor pack's low setting to offset the weight of her chest and remain upright. Enormous natural breasts sag past her belt and an ungodly amount of cleavage is on display since her jumpsuit is unzipped most of the way. Instead of one red S.H.I.E.L.D. eagle symbol on her right side, there are two printed lower down where her nipples are. Hill is well aware of what a scene this is creating, but she's still annoyed when she's trying to brief her agents about a HYDRA plot and they keep trying to steer the conversation back to her boobs. Specifically, they want to know her new cup size.

Picture is take about 21 km (13 miles) from the CN Tower. The atmospherics were terrible but it does show you how big the moon was (apparent size 200+ meters).

Please behold: the biggest bolete I’ve ever seen, just casually existing by the roadside. I screamt a little scream when I first saw this football sized beauty! What do we think… is it the much sought-after Penny Bun?

#fungifriends #fallfungi #pennybun #boletusedulis
The underside of a bolete appears in the foreground of the photo, with its teeth and tubes forming a rolling corrugated skin, catching the late afternoon sun. In the background a forest bed of oak leaves can be seen, with various oak and pine trees in the background, with a background of blue sky. Slightly zoomed out shot of the bolete underside. Top-down shot of the bolete - the slightly bumpy top of the bolete is a mix of tan and caramel colors, with a few spots of reddish brown and a few bites/chunks missing, where the yellow under-flesh can be seen. Below, you can see a bed of oak leaves. Top down shot comparing size of bolete on right with OP’s left hand - it is equal to the size of two hands with palms and fingers spread.

Day 2 of the 2025 #artadventcalendar.

This is an older work that a friend of mine fell in love with and has up in her dining room. Something like 14 x 18 inches in size. Oil on canvas.
A loosely painted, nearly abstract landscape. There is dark green and black ground in the bottom 20% of the painting, with a sky that is white near the horizon and grey/blue near the top. There are two dark clouds and brush marks below them that could be interpreted as rain falling.

🐳 Johnson's household book of nature, .
New York, H.J.Johnson, [1880].

[Source]
Illustration from "Johnson's household book of nature" (1880) depicting a large sperm whale beached or close to shore with its massive body and distinctive head clearly shown. Four men in 19th-century whaling attire stand beside and on the whale, emphasizing its enormous size. The background features rocky cliffs and a flock of birds in a pastel-colored sky at sunset or sunrise. The scene highlights the whale's scale relative to humans, with attention to the whale’s detailed texture and teeth. The text identifies this as "Sperm Whale, Plate XXIX, Cetacea."

The universe is full of giant structures that we cannot see directly. In this case, researchers traced the filament by measuring the location & motion of hydrogen-rich galaxies.

It took a lot of sleuthing to find the hidden scaffolding of the universe. 🧪🔭

academic.oup.com/mnras/articl...
Top left: the on-sky distribution of H i galaxies (squares), SDSS and DESI optical galaxies (circles and lines, depending on the availability of optical PA measurements), and the cosmic filament. The MIGHTEE COSMOS footprint is shown in a block. Other panels show the DESI multiband cutout image and the H i moment-1 map of each H i-selected galaxy. The size of the images and moment maps is fixed to 80 arcsec across each panel. The dashed ellipse in each DESI image panel shows the ellipticity and the size (tripled for visual purposes) of the optical counterpart of each H i galaxy.

Proxima is the nearest star to the Sun. It is a red dwarf, 1/5 the size of our Sun and 20,000 times dimmer. Here we see it seen from the surface of one of its planets. To the left one can also make out Alpha Centauri, which is a binary star with two Sun-like components.
Illustration of the star Proxima Centauri seen from one of its planets. The landscape is rocky and barren aside from a lake. Proxima is a flare star with a powerful magnetic field, leading to the formation of aurorae in the sky. Artwork created in Blender by Mark A Garlick.

Size And Distance For The Fun Of Fire Hydrant Friday - Gone Early And #WeekWForWindows #AlphabetChallenge #UrbanScape #BlueSky #Winter #FireHydrantFriday #EastCoastKin #PhotoHour #Kent #LampPost #StreetFurniture #Photography #Fotografia #PhoneCamera #ForTheFunOfIt
A photograph taken from thigh height featuring a residential street that is close to a city centre. At an oblique angle and semi prominent is a fire hydrant sign indicating the diameter of the infrastructure at 100 (mm) a distance of 1 (m) away. Learning! On the opposite side of the narrow street are period properties with ornate (sort of) windows. A fixed bollard is at an angle presumable having performed its function as deterrent. A lamppost is I think originally Victorian. The Sky is blue on a sunny day enhancing the white of various walls. A cobblestone pavement and more contemporary equivalent can also be seen.

Also, full moon tonight
#Toronto #Photography #Dusk
View of cars sitting at an intersection waiting for the red light to change. Behind them in the pale twilight sky is the full moon, newly risen, looking the same size and brightness as the streetlights. On the left side of the street is a modern, low-rise apartment building. On the right side of the street is a massive tree with a really cool silhouette. A blue, hi-viz street sign and a smaller, white, classic-style street sign each say Logan Avenue. There is a thin crust of frozen snow on the sidewalk. A poor resolution photo of the full moon, zoomed in. Streetcar lines intersect the sky, and some tree branches poke into frame as if to say, "hey, hi, hello." The picture is pretty, despite the poor quality.
