Better version.

Live satellite images of Australia on my iPad compared to the live images of the incoming Artemis crew. Amazing.

@MckeeganDave @TrevorL415 Keep fighting the good fight Dave. For every poor soul these imbeciles manage to con, you’ll hopefully save many more from being dragged down.

@TrevorL415 thinks I'm too afraid to post my own video here because he can apparently explain how cameras that predate AI (film cameras) could be using AI to generate fake photos of the Moon So Trevor, here is the video: youtu.be/rrnCbEHdRyo Let's hear the answers ...

@StanCollymore Cheers Stan. Bookmarked.

Moon from a few nights ago. 14inch Dob with iPhone held to eyepiece

@BDuhndat Lay off the meds. Or better still, take the correct ones.

Can you you photograph the sun and invert it to show a black dot as a bright light? Here's why: If 3IATLAS was truly where NASA alleges it is, it would be right beside the James Webb with the sun at its back and we would be getting photos of grains of sand on its surface and an actual tail that ALL comets expelling gases at the rate of 3IATLAS HAVE that would be 7X BRIGHTER than just the comet's coma on approach. Nothing from our most sophisticated space based telescope 1,000x Hubble, regarding the most interesting object ever in our solar system. NASA alleges that 3IATLAS was traveling at 130,000 km hour , far faster than any other comet ever observed. It would be hours or days away from earth if traveling at a normal comet speed. NASA alleges it missed 3IATLAS for two months on its comet watch May June because it was a tiny black dot that only grew, didn't move and didn't have a tail PRECISELY WHAT A COMET COMING DIRECTLY AT THE EARTH WOULD LIKE AND THEY PRETEND THAT IS NOT WHAT NASA WAS LOOKING FOR? NASA alleges that we have seen 3IATLAS both coming and going, 360°. ALL comet's expelling gases at the rate of 3IATLAS HAVE ACTUAL TAILS directly behind the comet's direction of travel. NO ACTUAL TAIL that would have been 7X at its closest pass to earth instead it DIMMED! 3IATLAS DIMMED because it passed its halfway point between its perhilion with the sun and earth where the mass of the comet is now blocking sunlight from earth instead of reflecting it. NASA has alleged from the outset that 3IATLAS is an interstellar comet. 1 chance in about 2,500 that an interstellar comet would be on our ecliptic. 70% chance that a common Hills cloud comet would be on our ecliptic. NASA alleges that 3IATLAS is 12 billion years old yet it is expelling gases at precisely the rate of a newborn Hills cloud comet. The difference is the trajectory that NASA had to correct a dozen times, alleging ET is drunk driving jitterbugging across our solar system, that a passing com satellite was ET radioing ahead then he slammed on the brakes and refueled at Jupiter (instead of the sun). The difference between an instellar escape trajectory and a Hills cloud return trajectory from where 3IATLAS was first spotted. is that the Hills cloud comet trajectory impacts earth. The rash of comets we are seeing right now is not possible to be a debris trail from 3IATLAS many months ago that would have dispersed over one billion X one billion X one billion kms. The debris field is IN FRONT of 3IATLAS, pieces blown off as the comet heated approaching the sun ON THE SAME TRAJECTORY but with the velocity of 3IATLAS plus the force of the explosion. They would arrive hours perhaps a few days ahead of the actual comet and get denser as it got closer. 3IATLAS would be a growing black dot on the sun which has been twice reported independently on X by the very few who have telescopes capable of looking at the sun and inverting the photo. NASA did NOT get to the moon. National Association Staging Astrophysics. Would they tell us that a 5 km across burning mountain moving at 50km/second was going to impact earth and end civilization as we know it? Apparently not. They're going to emerge from their climate hardened bunkers and rule over the rubble as demigods. Rotchilds built a climate city on Antarctica and another in bunkered Jasper. Talmud end game . Everything else is a distraction. #NASAislying 3 #3iatlas

Updated my profile to reflect that I have now logged 2061 different astronomical objects from my bortle 6/7 backyard. Most new deep sky targets are now difficult to pull from the sky glow but I reckon I can manage another 300ish. Plus plenty of asteroids and comets to log 🙂

@GermanEmbassy That’ll be Nil point then.

We didn’t have the UK’s Eurovision entry having a German title on our 2026 prediction cards… but here we are! 'Eins, Zwei, Drei' by Look Mum No Computer is very Eurovision... Hopefully it'll land the UK more than eins, zwei or drei points! #Eurovision

@TomServoTwo @BradRTorgersen That’s ‘Assignment: Earth’

@BradRTorgersen I can’t believe you wrote such a long review and yet didn’t mention the single best thing about this episode!! Teri Garr!!!

TOS re-watch day 20: "Tomorrow is Yesterday" is important in Trek lore because it's the basis for the time travel sub-plot of the fourth film; warp slingshots having been established in "Where No Man Has Gone Before." It's also the first time any Trek series visited Earth's past. Though it certainly wouldn't be the last. I think the only thing that still bothers me about this one is the Enterprise going deep enough into Earth's atmosphere that an F-104 could close to within firing range. That's way too low. And the ship lacks any of the lifting-body characteristics of a shuttle. If she's so far down she can flirt with fighters, it's irrecoverable: catastrophic re-entry and breakup. The rest of it is fodder for "What if?" scenarios. What if the crew really had been forced to abandon ship and hide out on 20th century Earth? How long before they inevitably begin changing events to the point the long-term ramifications for the future are permanent? And if those changes derail the future enough, does the Enterprise or her crew even exist? Do they ever go back in time at all? Classic paradox questions which have been a staple of all time travel science fiction. Incidentally, the actor portraying Captain Christopher was in fact a USAF officer before becoming an actor. Supposedly none other than Lucille Ball plucked him to become a contracted character man under Desilu studios. This episode also marks the first appearance of Mr. Kyle, played by British actor John Winston. He would appear ten more times in ten different episodes, and made a brief re-appearance on the bridge of the USS Reliant during the second movie.

@Snooker_Chat Good

Ronnie O'Sullivan will not play in the first ranking event to be shown on Channel 5. The Rocket had qualified for next week's £150k Players Championship by being in the top 16 of the one-year list. But his name is not in the draw. John Higgins takes his place. #snooker

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump Trying to impress the world with a “look at me conversing with the president of the USA“ post, is not the flex you think it is. #historywilljudge

Thanks for the call, President @realDonaldTrump - appreciated the advice re future step fall avoidance, and the invite to do golf battle as soon as the new hip beds in. (but no, you’re not taking my $$$) 🏌️‍♂️👍

@Nick_Metcalfe I agree totally. What’s with the extended score graphic though? That’s annoying as hell.

I know this is rehashing a line from two weeks ago, but I’m watching the Mark Selby match and we can see the proper dimensions of a snooker table represented here. That first camera angle at the Masters (the square table) was truly preposterous.

My 2000th Different object found from my light polluted backyard. P.Neb Pk 232-1.1 in Canis Major.

First time I’ve ever gotten the telescope out on Christmas night. Just got back in the house a little bit colder than when I left it 5 hours ago. Seen plenty of objects including 6 new faint planetary nebulae. Happy Christmas indeed 😊

My 171st planetary nebula observation from the early hours this morning. 20inch dob. Bortle 6.

@CuriousFallis @1zzyzyx1 Actually it’s a British show hosted by an Aussie and the woman on the right is Canadian.

@1zzyzyx1 JFC they’re Australian. Your point is valid. And the reasons expose themselves once in the video and once in the post. #MakePublicEducationGreatAgain

Even the British make fun of Trump and his backwards thinking. The world must really wonder what the hell is wrong with this country for electing him twice. I blame the lack of education, and people stayed home in the last election. #DemUnited

Got up at 5am this morning to try to spot 3I/ATLAS a 7 billion year old interstellar comet currently passing through our solar system. It was only a small 10th mag fuzzy spot through the scope but it was amazing to contemplate what my eye was seeing.

@WeAreWST Can no longer stand these stupid cropped camera shots. I’m out of here.

That was SPECIAL! 😍 #InternationalChampionship

@1978Irish @handitvnetwork Actually in this early episode they were referred to as Lithium crystals. 🙂

@handitvnetwork Di-lithium, not lithium

How well do you know this episode? handitv.com/allstartrek/qu…

I’ve had binocular views of the 2 prominent Comets already but only from my front garden where streetlights and neighbours lights hindered the view a lot. Tonight they are both suitably placed to get a good luck through one of my scopes. Weather permitting of course!
