End of an Era: Spirit Airlines Shuts Down Operations murfampost.wordpress.com/2026/05/03/end… via @restrantek

Spirit Airlines is shut down at Orlando International Airport.

.@joshherrin leaves @RoadAtlanta still leading the Supersport championship, but it didn’t come easy. From leading Race 1 to dropping to P22, Herrin clawed his way back to P5, then came back swinging with a Race 2 win to lock it all back in. Points lead secured. Next stop: Barber Motorsports Park! #motorsports #motorcycle #racing #supersport #ducati

One of my photos of the March 4 Starlink 10-40 SpaceX Falcon 9 launch was chosen as NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day (”APOD”) for today. I’m humbled by this, as the “Space Jellyfish” shown was visible across much of the U.S. East Coast, and many very cool photos were captured of it. The caption, written by the very smart Cecilia Chirenti, well describes the phenomenon shown. Photos don’t really do it justice; it’s truly breathtaking, like a giant illuminated flower opening in the night, or, if a more apocalyptic tone is your thing, it’s like the night sky is ripping open. Big shout-out to the ever-cool and ubiquitous John “Snap” Kraus aka @johnkrausphotos, who has developed an app to gauge the likelihood of a still sometimes surprising space jelly, located in public beta here: jellyfish.johnkrausphotos.com. The prediction for this launch was good, and this is a tool every launch/weather enthusiast should know about. This frame was captured using the same camera I stuck in the Banana River for the streak, inverted under my tripod, just a couple of inches above the water. The water wasn’t still enough for the mirrored shot I hoped for, but the jelly glow is reflected nicely. After I ended the streak shot, I quickly dialed in some settings, and this is what I came up with.

This past weekend's MotoAmerica was one of the best. Did you know that Josh Herrin has now won the Daytona 200 4 years in a row? (2023, 2024, 2025, 2026) Very rare in sports to win is just a lifetime achievement. It's a coronation of sorts. The Repeat well, supremacy. The Three-Peat, Dynasty. The Four-Peat, Immortality. That 5th Trophy - Josh has built an Empire. The Godfather of Supersport. #daytona200 #desnudaorganictequila #ducati #dunlop #number2 #florida #motoamerica #bikeweek

Unbelievable finish for @KaylaYaakov! 🤯 After battling Binder on the banks, she secures the draft and finishes 3rd as the first woman to podium the DAYTONA 200! 👏 #Daytona #Daytona200 #motorcycle #motorsports
