Canada and northern US getting lucky again with the aurorae lottery. Hope we can have some here in the UK...if not only for the pesky rainy weather. LOL.
Frustrating to see events like this happen and then you have rain, all day in the UK. 🥲

Currently observing Super Typhoon Fung-Wong (local name: Uwan). The Philippines is still recovering from the devastation of Typhoon Kalmaegi (local name: Tino) and now have to face the incoming wrath of a super typhoon.

This is what happens when substandard and corrupted government flood control projects fail. This is not a natural disaster, it's man-made catastrophe.
Corrupt folks who swindled billions of pesos from flood control projects are thriving whilst the common folk have drowned in the floods.

My heart breaks for NASA. I have long dreamed of working there since I was a kid, even becoming my only reason to visit the US. I did not foresee that within my lifetime, I would see this institution be slowly incapacitated and decimated by the idiots on top.

NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

Our VST has spotted a spooky bat flying over Paranal. But fear not, it's located 10,000 light-years away.
This "cosmic bat" is in fact a large cloud of gas. Let's fly through it in this video...if you dare! 🦇

As someone who is born and raised in the Philippines, a country similar to Jamaica when it comes to experiencing extreme weather, Category 5 typhoons (the Pacific term for hurricane) are absolutely scary thing to experience.
Hope that Jamaica stays safe and rides out this hurricane.

More space beauty for your day: This new JWST image of Uranus shows exquisite detail in the rings, clouds, and huge polar cap. Imagine what it took to knock this planet on its side.

Surprise meteorite debris uncovered on Moon’s far side
The rare samples, uncovered by China’s Chang’e-6 mission, might help to reveal secrets of how the Solar System evolved.

Comet Lemmon will be visible in the UK skies from mid-October to early November. I am hoping that the weather will cooperate.

Slightly off-astro but still a science topic:
There has been 2 massive earthquakes in the Philippines in the last couple of weeks:
6.9 magnitude in Bogo, Cebu
7.4 and 6.7 magnitude, doublet earthquake in Davao Oriental
Here's some wikipedia entries regarding these 2 seismic events.

A nice circumhorizontal arc (informally known as a fire rainbow, which is a misnomer) over West Virginia captured by Christa Harbig!
It is an optical phenomenon belonging to the family of ice halos, so it is neither fire nor a rainbow.
