It got knocked over, lol
I tried to get rid of all things Meta but my kids nagged me to start posting to Instagram since their friends follow me. Now it's just open app, quickly post picture, close app.
The V1 cam is getting showered: www.youtube.com/live/tk0tfYD...
This is most assuredly not a picture of Saturn.
"This is the clearest image ever taken of Saturnβs North Pole", they say.
The amount of sewage-level AI slop on Facebook is just gross. And it's all it ever tries to show me. I only rarely go on there, but it's long past time to delete that bookmark...
Heh, every time they adjust the camera the fountain changes shape :-)
Kilauea started erupting this morning: www.youtube.com/live/gXKuUyK...

(1/4) Jupiter test renders from Voyager 2 data. The left one is from a map I made years ago. The right one is from a new map I'm working on from the same data. The color is better and will be even better in the final version. But the biggest change is that the new map is geometrically more accurate.
And a closeup WATSON view of the rock, also taken on Sol 1794.

A large boulder. NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS/Kevin M. Gill
A Sol 1794 MastCam-Z of a boulder that the Perseverance Rover arrived at this week. It has an interesting texture, almost looks like an impact breccia (*very* nonexpert opinion).

A tunnel entrance over a road. The fault is above the tunnel and separates light and not-quite-as-light rock.
A map showing the western end of Soledad Canyon. The fault line cuts across it. Dibblee, 1996
The Pole Canyon Fault is exposed right above a tunnel over Soledad Canyon Road in northern Los Angeles County. Itβs a relatively minor Miocene aged normal fault in a stress zone between the San Gabriel Fault and the San Andreas Fault.

Iβve been told I should put warnings when my pictures are of Earth π

A blood moon surrounded by stars
Hereβs a composite of last nightβs lunar eclipse and some stars taken a few weeks before from a completely different part of the sky. Makes for a lovely phone wallpaper.

This is an often overlooked Screaming Trees song and I love it. Just great songwriting. Has that classic guitar sound from Gary Lee Conner and some of Mark Laneganβs best vocals.

No redacted stuff (I work for the mission on the data pipeline, Iβd know). Also, if there were actually a petrified lizard, you think Iβd be using boring old βThe workspace in front blah blahβ language?!
Not so sure about that oneβ¦ π€
I was examining this chunk of chlorite-albite schist from the Sierra Pelona range. Found a sub-millimeter pinkish roundish crystal on there. Almandite garnet?

Probably the most lopsided game Iβve seen there. The other squad is supposed to be quite good, too
The umpire called the mercy rule a half hour early
