@starstryder Did you manage to make the rocket launch on Midway Mania? That is your next quest (I can tell you how...it usually takes two people working together).

Your SIDEQUEST didn’t just go into overdrive… it didn’t just go into warp speed. It went plaid. The adventures will be summarized later, but the key is this: in one day you completed all rides at Disney Hollywood Studios and Epcot.

@starstryder Would have gotten more engagement if it was how many Taylor Swifts per second.

Because we will measure in anything except metric 😂

@fuckyouiquit My plan. newyorker.com/humor/borowitz…

deathblow energy right here it's like he's trying his hardest to fail

@Freakonomics FYI, the last two episodes of the Freaknomics podcast have not shown up on Google podcasts. Might want to check for a tech issue there.

@DoctorCarrell That's a good question. I noticed it and thought I need to take a closer look at the data to see what was going on. Haven't had a chance to do that yet.

@halfastro Stupid question, but is the waviness in the path real? Or atmospheric effects? Or tracking? Something else?

Multiple takes on today's ISS solar transit: Canon R7 with Tamron 150-600mm lens (white images due to Bader solar filter) and Canon R6 on Nexstar 8 Edge HD (yellowish images due to the Thousand Oaks glass solar filter).

(2/2) Video of the ISS lunar transit slowed down to 10% of actual speed.

(1/2) Close up and composite of the International Space Station transiting the Moon taken from Molino Basin near Tucson, Arizona.

Pass of Starlink satellites over Tucson tonight near Regulus.

Today's transit of Tiangong with a Lunt 60 Hydrogen Alpha telescope and ASI1600M Pro camera (I added the orange color to roughly simulate what a hydrogen alpha image looks like to the eye). Pretty windy day induced a good amount of shake.

Venus and the crescent Moon from Tucson tonight.

Got a good solar transit of the Tiangong space station today. The image on the left is with my Canon R7 and Sigma 100-400mm lens at 400mm. The one on the right is my Canon 80D and Tamron 150-600mm lens at 600mm. The R7 shows its stuff even with a shorter focal length lens.

@AmericanAir @Cynthia_Cano Got the same announcement in Tampa.

@Cynthia_Cano Oh dear! Let's get eyes on this ASAP. Can you pop over to DMs with your six-letter record locator for a closer look?

This mornings @SpaceX #Falcon9 launch from Terra Ceia Bay in Florida. Barely get the reentry burn above the trees this far away.

Here is a first pass at a composite of five second exposures from tonight's #SpaceX #FalconHeavyLaunch launch at #epcot . @WaltDisneyWorld

I didn't have a blue checkmark before it was cool.

Full moon and so bright 🌝! This #image shows the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope at @KittPeakNatObs, a Program of @NOIRLabastro, just after sunset. Perfect time to see the Belt of Venus. noirlab.edu/public/images/… 📸: KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P. Horálek (Institute of Physics in Opava)
