So, so bright here tonight!! #seestar #vermont #moon #astrophoto

 Ambient Earth  is a 7.5-hour, real-time, 4K, remastered video of the orbital view from the International Space Station. The video "invites you to slow down and experience Earth in real time just as astronauts do." [kottke.org]

Such a big, clear, bright night!! #astrophoto #lunar #vermont #seestar

We are enjoying an entire week of absolutely perfect Autumn weather here in southern VT, right down to the crisp evening skies! #astrophoto #moon #artemis #vermont

The first frost landed last night, here beneath this gem of an October moon. #astrophoto #moon #autumn #vermont

M33 in Triangulum, 3rd-largest galaxy in our family (after Andromeda and the Milky Way). 58-minute exposure, S50. #astrophoto #seestar #vermont #astronomy

Beautiful solar day here in Vermont! Peak foliage in many places. #astrophoto #solar #Autumn

M39, high overhead tonight in Cygnus. A small open cluster of young, bright blue stars. Angular dimension from our POV is 29 arc minutes (approximately the size of the full moon). Hard to get the cluster stars to pop AND maintain the intensity of the blue (cluster) stars. #astrophoto #astronomy

The great galaxy in Andromeda. The lovely skies of Autumn were alight tonight! #astrophoto #Andromeda #naturephotography #vermont

203 days and counting this year with WindWaterSolar meeting >100% of demand for part of the day. WWS>100% for 17.7% of all hours of year. 56% of all demand during year met by WWS Gas down 47% in '26 vs '23. No blackouts

This will forever replace “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” in my head.

Last one before the nor’easter on the way. #moon #astrophoto #lunar #seestar

A clear evening before the clouds rolled through

I have become such a fan of the Norwegian Consumer Council recently. They don't just do these cool vids, the reports are actually really detailed and insightful and oddly strongly written (for a gov't agency, particularly in Norway). Also not fatalist at all www.forbrukerradet.no/breakingfree/

Oh glorious moon of September! #astrophoto #vermont #astronomy #naturephotography

Hubble has observed many Messier catalog items over 35+ years, including the Orion Nebula, the Omega Nebula, globular star cluster Messier 75, and galaxy Messier 109. Scroll through Hubble’s Messier images, and find your favorite: https://go.nasa.gov/3Ui2kHl 🔭

The Western Veil Nebula. Clouds came in so it’s a relatively short exposure. #astrophoto #seestar #vermont #Astronomy

15-minute exposure of the Lagoon Nebula this evening with the S50 #seestar #astrophoto #vermont #autumnsky

The eastern wing of the Veil Nebula in Cygnus. Approximately 15 min exposure with the Seestar s50 #astrophoto #seestar #nebula

The Grey Fox kit, AKA the Peach Pirate! Enjoying his meadow today. #greyfox #naturephotography #nature #vermont

This quadrant of the moon doesn’t get as much love as it should, especially during the longer-daylight months. Chilly this morning here in southern Vermont! #seestar #astrophoto #moon #vermont

Late summer roses are particularly generous. #blueskyartshow #flower #vermont #summer

An overcast evening here, but it makes for a lovely moon watch #lunar #astrophoto #seestar #vermont #clouds

I know you all have more interesting stuff to share, but this happened yesterday and I just had to stop and appreciate it. #dull #dashboard #random

Complex tracking due to the clouds today. But, a good timelapse nonetheless. #astrophoto #science #astronomy #eclipse

Perfect day for an eclipse! #eclipse #astrophoto #vermont #science

🚨 California just set a new world record by generating over 50% of its electricity from solar power in May. By moving away from expensive and volatile coal and gas, and instead relying on more affordable clean energy, California can reduce pollution and lower costs for residents.

21,000 megawatts of battery storage. It was 770 when @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom started his term CA made a commitment to lead in this space. Now we’re the 2nd largest utility scale battery storage in the world The state hasn’t had a Flex Alert in four years. That’s what battery storage has done

Fritillary on Echinacea. Just another day of pollinator love. #butterfly #vermont #naturephotography

A dozen nations and two US states generate more electricity from wind-solar-geothermal-hydro (WindWaterSolar) alone than they consume for all purposes. www.counterpunch.org/2026/07/23/a... The data web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/j...

Happy birthday, President Barack Obama “Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

The way this scene was filmed surprises film lovers.

Morning in VT #astrophoto #seestar #vermont

New episode of Fall or Civilizations just dropped. Thank you @paulmmcooper.com !!

Thank you @404media.co !!

You may tire of my moon pics…. But hard to pass up the chon these clear nights. A little haze (wildfire smoke?) up there this evening. #lunar #astrophoto #astronomy #vermont

Nearly full. Tomorrow night ushers in a few days of rain, but will keep looking for breaks in the clouds. So much light on the meadow tonight! #astrophoto #moon #lunar #vermont #astronomy

Beautiful day for fritillary and bergamot in the meadow #wildlifephotography #wildlife #vermont #butterfly

In this time of unprecedented wealth inequality, his statement is the rallying cry we have been waiting for.

Weltweit wurden im Jahr 2025 ca. 5500 TWh Wind- und Solarstrom erzeugt. Das ist das Zehnfache des gesamten deutschen Stromverbrauchs.

Another stellar night (see what I did there) for viewing in #Vermont. The #moon just a few degrees from Antares. The Summer Triangle high in the east. So lovely! (2.5 minute video stack) with the S50 #astrophoto #seestar

High midsummer moon in a late evening sky. #astrophoto #moon #vermont #astronomy
