🦋✨ Meet the Butterfly Nebula — 4,000 lightyears away, glowing in the Cygnus constellation.
#astrophotography #astro #photography #askar
A cosmic butterfly spreads its fiery wings across a sea of stars — IC 1318, the Butterfly Nebula. Wisps of glowing red and orange gas twist and curl in space, set against the inky black of the universe. This vast emission nebula lies in the Cygnus constellation, about 4,000 lightyears from Earth.

Found this in the archives.
Poster with a picture of a Viking and the writing: “"I can't go out because of the virus" sounds weak, whiny and boring. Try this instead: "I've sworn an oath of solitude until the pestilence is purged from the lands. That sounds more principled, valiant and heroic - and people might even think you are carrying a sword.”

Cuomo is a bum. This guy should be NYC mayor.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can.

ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

A yellow, weathered metal utility box sits on a concrete sidewalk. Its paint is chipped and stained with patches of rust and dirt. On one vertical face of the box there is a red stencil graffiti composed of three main elements: 1. Portrait • A man’s head in profile facing right, rendered in solid red. • The face is that of Elon Musk, with short hair and minimal facial details. • Two small, curved horns extend upward from his forehead. 2. Elongated Body • Directly beneath the head is a long, tapering shape resembling a slug or worm. • Across its midsection is a swastika motif 3. Text and Object • To the right of the figure is the word “SALT?” in uppercase red letters. • Next to the text is a simple outline of a salt shaker tilted diagonally, with a scattering of five small dots beneath it to suggest grains of salt falling.

Back Into The Tempest
Gustave Dore
An angelic being hovers over a troubled sea, comforting a soul who is either sleeping or passing into death.

Here’s to 4 years of Europe shaking their heads at us like we’re the troubled cousin who relapsed and showed up at the conference covered in vomit and cocaine.

It is a good day to not quite know what is going on but maybe be scared of it anyway. I am a bear.
