My highest resolution moon photo took me years of attempts before I got the right combination of equipment and conditions to create. This used nearly a terabyte of data and hundreds of thousands of photos. This is formatted as a mobile wallpaper, I’m still doing these daily.

This month we’re taking a look at all things #popculture. Here’s a snippet from an oral history with a song about the assassination:

It’s #flagday! The flag seen here was the American flag flown over the U.S. Senate during official mourning period in 1963 for JFK. We’ve included the letter of authenticity. from The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza Collection. #usa #flagday🇺🇸

We are so proud of our Guest Services Team! @dceomagazine named this team a finalist in their 7th Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards as Nonprofit team of the Year! #teamoftheyear #dceo #nonprofitawards

We’re saddened to hear Dr. Wecht passed away today. He served on the forensic pathology panel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970s. He later consulted on Oliver Stone’s film, JFK. A Case for Conspiracy with Dr. Cyril H. Wecht youtu.be/mqr8cfATwyo?fe…

Apologies, we hope to be open WEDNESDAY, the Museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Update: it doesn’t look like we’ll have power back today, so we have closed the Museum. Hope to open tomorrow! #poweroutage

Due to severe weather we don’t have power this morning! The Museum will open when power has been restored. #texasweather

Parkland Memorial Hospital doctors and staff handled the 11/22-11/24, 1963 just as they would have any other day- though the patients were far from ordinary. This memo to staff from hospital administrator C.J. Price occurrences in 1963 sum #parklandhospital #jfk

#eclipse totality occurs here in Dallas from 1:40 p.m. to 1:44 p.m., and much like this bust of President John F. Kennedy we hope you’ll be wearing your licensed eclipse glasses to avoid permanent eye damage. #themoreyouknow

#DidYouKnow there was a total solar eclipse during John F. Kennedy’s presidency on July 20, 1963? In the United States it could be seen from Maine and Alaska. #totaleclipse2024 #eclipsedallas
