2025 has been an... interesting year, but that's the perk of every year. You never know what it'll bring. Maybe it'll be worse, maybe it'll be better, but at the end of the day it'll come.
So let's do our best to make 2026 a good year!

Happy New Year!
This is "Eclipsing Ben Ohau"
I can't think of a better way to end the 2025 recap than this one -
Moonset and another night ends, appropriate for the Dec 31st post.

Thank you for joining us for another year in #Warframe!
You continued the story of 1999 in Techrot Encore, fought a familiar foe in Isleweaver, met fungal friends in The Vallis Undermind and uncovered your past in The Old Peace.
We look forward to seeing you in 2026!

Curious fact: The New Years Eve countdown to midnight, second-by-second, is the most precise time-reckoning of a Holiday on the calendar.
Meanwhile, the celebration scatters across 24 time zones, requiring a full Earth rotation to complete for everyone.

I photographed the Horsehead nebula, one of my favorite deep sky objects. I spent two nights photographing this nebula, separated by a month in-between due to cloud cover and snow.

Image of Arp 289, also known as NGC 3981, from Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966).
In the original catalog it was in the category: Double and multiple galaxies - Wind effects. Interactions with another galaxy likely caused its odd arms.

This nuclear space ferry uses a Z-pinch fusion drive to reach 295 km/s deltaV. So, trips of 50 to 73 days are possible between Earth and Jupiter, making rapid delivery of containers to SSTO landers waiting at each end.
