The bright dots that look like all those stars are actually distant galaxies beyond our own.

The bubbles are old supernova remnant shells.

Orange represents the emissions from these explosions, while blue represents where stars are born.

Centrist D66 party set to win most seats in Dutch election, exit poll suggests

Result would pave the way for the Netherlands’ first out gay prime minister and end far-right populist Geert Wilders’ time in power The liberal-progressive D66 party was on track to become the largest in the Dutch parliament, according to an exit poll, after a snap general election in which Geert Wilders’ far-right Freedom party was seen losing a third of its seats.

There might have been, um, a few satellites passing by during the long exposure. 🧪🔭

The good thing is you can actually fill the pies. Bought ones never have enough

Martyn Notman @nfgmart.bsky.social · 1d

An easy way to start is bought minemeat but add your own booze to it.
Sweet shortcrust pastry is dead easy too.
Honestly try it. Wont take long.

I dont know. Probably a smaller one.

Mince pies literally take no time. The mincemeat sits and does its stuff on its own and the pastry is 25 minutes!
