I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Sunrise. Dark landscape and tree-line, grayish rolling mountains behind, topped with golden sky and bright reddish clouds.

One more from sunrise this morning. ♥️💛

A closeup of a small section of the Helix Nebula, an expanding shell of gas and dust. Thousands of orange and gold comet-like pillars stream upward from the bottom, like thin liquid blown up a sheet of glass. These pillars are around the circumference of the arced shell, which forms a partial orange semi-circle at the bottom. The pillars are more numerous and denser at the bottom, and darker red. They fade to orange and then yellow in the arc. In the top two-thirds, they are thinner and more golden, and it’s easier to see the black background of space. Several bright blue stars, some with diffraction spikes, are scattered throughout. A few larger stars are on the right side.

With Blue Monday shortly coming up, we're here to brighten your week with this Webb image.

This is the clearest infrared view yet of the famous Helix Nebula 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

A starry night sky with the Milky Way streaking across it and the Andromeda galaxy to the left of it, appearing a bit fuzzy in the sky.

last night, i caught the milky way and andromeda in the same image and it was so special to me.

two galaxies, millions of light-years apart.

A foggy beech forest scene with one dominant beech tree in the foreground with yellow coloured leaves showing the autumnal vibe of the image

#Fog is quite a rare occurrence where I live. I had previsualized this shot for quite some time, but in the end it took me more than 4 years to get the right conditions. Patience and persistence definitely pays dividends in #landscapephotography!

Mit ein paar Strichen wird aus einer Blüte ein Grammophon

Die mag ich am liebsten auch schön laut 👍

Zwei Fotos mit runden Keksen auf einer Tischplatte. Links liegt einer der beiden Kekse nur teilweise auf dem anderen, rechts liegen beide nahezu perfekt übereinander.

Hier nochmal aus unserem Archiv eine ebenso aufwendige wie durchaus realitätsnahe Visualisierung, die den Unterschied zwischen einer partiellen und einer totalen Sonnenfinsternis zeigt.

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

Still trying to figure this Bluesky-thing out (never really been Twitter user ..) - so reposting is just like sharing it?

Anyways, let’s continue with the #woodland theme but make it fit the season. So here’s one of my favourite #winter woodland images from two years ago

Another great photographer has showed up here - @johanneskowalewski.bsky.social - what a beautiful frosty scene :)

Ein Strand mit Dünen und Pfahlbauten. Vereinzelt laufen Menschen durchs Bild. Der Himmel ist überwiegend bewölkt, sehr weit oben versucht die Sonne durchzukommen.

Hello ☺️ thought I'd introduce myself as I'm new around here...

I'm Eilidh & I live on a little Scottish Island in the Outer Hebrides.

I love van adventures, island hopping, sea swimming, drone photography & otters. I also own a tiny gift shop, Coralbox 🌊🥂🚐

I can't wait to share more photos! ☺️

Das Bild zeigt ein Whiteboard, auf dem verschiedene bunte Lego-Steine angebracht sind, um Brüche darzustellen. Jede Reihe von Lego-Steinen entspricht einem Bruch, der mit schwarzem Marker auf das Whiteboard geschrieben ist. Die oberste Reihe hat orange und grüne Lego-Steine, die 1/4 und 3/4 darstellen, neben der Zahl 1, die als “Ganzes” bezeichnet ist. Die zweite Reihe zeigt rote und blaue Lego-Steine, die 2/4 und 2/4 darstellen, was ebenfalls ein “Ganzes” ergibt. Die dritte Reihe zeigt türkisfarbene Lego-Steine, die 1/8 darstellen und zusammen 1/2 ergeben.

Endlich hab ich es auch begriffen 😂
