Measles was eliminated in the US in 2000. Gone, with the exception of international travelers bringing it back in and causing small outbreaks. But now it's roaring back — it's incredibly contagious — thanks to guess who. Guess who!

Yup. Anti-vaxxers.
More than 120 people have contracted measles in a community along the Arizona and Utah border, officials say. NBC News’ Erika Edwards details why the area is seeing a surge in cases — and how it’s spreading to touristy spots.

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon, 48.5 minutes of exposure across 97 images taken from Bear Divide in Los Angeles. This is the first time I’ve processed a comet observation like this so I had to do some quick learning and experimentation. Hopefully I’ll improve on this in the future.
