UK stargazers - the Orionid meteor shower peaks tonight! 🔭

The Orionids is the result of fragments of debris left by Halley’s Comet as it last passed through our inner Solar System in 1986, and will enter our atmosphere at around 66 kilometres (40 miles) per second. ☄️

Night sky filled with stars and visible Milky Way, featuring several meteors streaking through. Silhouettes of gentle hills on the horizon.

Queen of the Night cactus flower. I hadn’t noticed how much it’s grown - I need to trellis the plant more so the flowers don’t open on the ground.

A photo of a large white Queen of the Night cactus flower that has opened on the bare ground. The plant’s flat stems are visible above and behind, against a faded wood fence.

Lamb can't/ won't give up getting a slice of political power. He has deep ties to the "constitutional sheriff" movement, flies his government-funded chopper for clicks, and is otherwise trying to build a family empire.
