Moon, January 1st 2026. 95% illuminated, and two days until full Moon. Crater Tycho is prominent, with its ejecta rays spread out for up to 1,500 kilometres. *They* (the lunar geologists) think Tycho is a youngish crater, having been formed only 100,000,000 years ago. #astrophotography

917. The Beatles: Anthology 4. This band. Doubly nostalgic, firstly for the music, secondly for when I bought Anthology 1-3, 30 years ago. Another stupendous listening experience. Highlights are the early sessions, the instrumental strings from ‘Something’ and the remixed new songs. #CDsAtoZ 💿
