I used to dabble in image processing, mostly with NASA's Cassini spacecraft data. Software engineer by day.

Really impressive video of a Shahed being shot down by an F-16 fighter jet from the 107th Aviation Wing of the Ukrainian Air Force.
The interception was carried out using the aircraft’s M61A1 Vulcan onboard rotary cannon.

In Sept. of 2023, I witnessed what was in my eyes the perfect storm. This intricately-structured, highly-electric supercell danced under a sky full of stars, looming over the landscape like the Mind Flayer while producing multiple funnels, bursts of sprites, and a barrage of lightning. #Photography

On this day in 1991., Vukovar fell after an almost 3-month siege. This footage was taken 3 years after the town was occupied by the Serbs. At the time, it was the bloodiest battle fought on European soil after WWII. Ukraine took that unfortunate crown since.

This bit has been bothering me for years. It's oval-shaped and it doesn't match any imaging artifacts on the NAC that I've seen before. It's almost as if it's a bow shock in the E ring. Any ideas?

Solar protons are really bad for space-based astronomy, m'kay?
Those were beautiful #aurorae in the past days. A solar storm brought a lot of protons to Earth. Not only to Earth but also to #ESAEuclid – but does #Euclid notice? Oh yes.

Interesting video on how the "NATO phonetic alphabet" (you know, those Alfa, Bravo, November, Lima, Foxtrot, Yankee etc.) words you hear in aviation and in the military eventually got selected.

A distant shot of Saturn's system while Cassini was still was on its way. This was taken after they had resolved the condensation residue issue on the ISSNA optics by heating it, and still almost 2 years before Saturn arrival. Magnified 2x from original pixel scale.

The sun was just 10 degrees above the horizon when NASA's Perseverance rover captured this morning view of Nili Planum yesterday. The rim of Jezero crater is casting a long shadow over the rover and foreground landscape. 🔭

Voyager 1 launched OTD in 1977. Had its radio occultation of Titan failed, Voyager 2 would have followed the same trajectory and we'd get no Uranus or Neptune as a result. Nature cooperated (no rain above ground stations to mess with Titan radio occultation data). Let that sink in. (1/2)
