There's very little left in flower in the typical #Maynooth front garden now that we're well into November, so this wonderful Garden Cosmos flower really caught my eye! #Bloomscrolling
A close view of a large mostly pink flower with parallel thin white streaks running from the center to the ends of the petals. The center of the flower is yellow with a dark pink ring around it. The background is the plant’s thin branching grass-like leaves in soft focus.

Unite 6.5 was released today (site-specific browser app). I reviewed it last week, and I talked about how it was NOT accessible to screen readers. Only 5 days after I told the dev, he's made it pretty accessible! (not perfect but good)

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 in the constellation Boötes, on the evening of October 24th. Captured from the light polluted outskirts of Munich.

16 minutes integration time with my Fujifilm X-S10 and 135mm f4.5 lens (untracked).

#astrophotography 🔭
A starfield with many small and colorful stars is dominated by comet Lemmon which is oriented diagonally in the frame. The comet has a greenish coma and a diffuse yellowish dust tail is pointing up from the nucleus. Layered with the dust tail is the blueish ion-tail which is much narrower and longer, stretching beyond the top of the image. The ion tail shows some slight undulations from changes in the comets activity over time.

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.
