🤣🤣🤣 so glad I’m not the only one who reads it that way!

Gorgeous photo! Porcupines are such beautiful animals.

A model image of what our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might look like face-on: as viewed from above the disc of the galaxy, with its spiral arms and bulge in full view. In the centre of the galaxy, the bulge shines as a hazy oval, emitting a faint golden gleam. Starting at the central bulge, several glistening spiral arms coil outwards, creating a perfectly circle-shaped spiral. They give the impression of someone having sprinkled pastel purple glitter on the pitch-black background, in the shape of sparkling, curled-up snakes.

A model image of what our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might look like edge-on, against a pitch-black backdrop. The Milky Way’s disc appears in the centre of the image, as a thin, dark-brown line spanning from left to right, with the hint of a wave in it. The line appears to be etched into a thin glowing layer of silver sand, that makes it look as if it was drawn with a coloured pencil on coarse paper. The bulge of the galaxy sits like a glowing, see-through pearl in the shape of a sphere in the centre of this brown line

The ESA #Gaia mission has delivered the best Milky Way maps to date and taken its last starlight before spacecraft retirement 🔭

Mars and the Moon, pre-occultation - Mars is the tiny red dot near the lower left edge of the Moon.

Mars and the Moon, post-occultation - Mars is the tiny red dot near the upper right edge of the Moon.

From Earth’s view, the Moon “occulted” - passed in front of - Mars last night (Jan 13)… these are a tad fuzzy thanks to thin clouds over #Albuquerque, but the tiny red dot is definitely there! (It’s at bottom left in 1st pic, top right in 2nd) #astronomy #occultation

Poverty fell more than a third in New Mexico due to tax changes, but there’s more to do The first cars arrived before dawn. By 9 a.m., vehicles snaked through the food distribution event at the state fairgrounds in Albuquerque. It was a week before Christmas, and thousands of families wo...

Story just pubbed for @nmindepth.bsky.social that merits attention beyond the state:

In New Mexico, a half-decade of redistributive state tax policy (and an oil & gas boom) have cut poverty to record lows, outstripping many other states.

Think "big, structural change" is impossible? Think again.

The Horsehead nebula in Orion

The Horsehead Nebula (with the Flame Nebula below and to the left) is ~1,375 light years away from earth, in Orion.

For those curious: I used sulfur, hydrogen, & oxygen (SHO) filters with a monochrome astronomy camera to acquire this image.
