Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

A M6.5 earthquake struck near Acapulco, Mexico today, triggering warning systems and causing tall buildings in Mexico City to sway. How does this event fit into the larger tectonic picture - and what kinds of earthquakes might we expect here?

It’s #EarthquakeReport Day! The M8.8 Kamchatka #earthquake was HUGE, as you can see in the cumulative energy‑release plot but no one died because it struck such a remote area.
The deadliest events were the M7.7 Myanmar, M6.0 Afghanistan, and M7.1 Tibet quakes, which caused around 8,000 deaths. ⚒️🧪
