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.

This is #comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) from 11 December with two distinct nucleus fragments. It has changed significantly compared to my image from 22 November - and it has clearly reduced its relative speed, as I was able to expose for a little longer this time... #astrophotography 🔭

Wir brauchen mehr von dieser Art Infrastruktur!
In Chemnitz wurde neulich diese schöne Fahrradbrücke eröffnet. Jetzt kam raus: Der Radverkehr ist seit Einweihung im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um 32% gestiegen. Von 777 Fahrradfahrern pro Tag auf 1027/Tag. Der alte Satz: „Build it and they will come“ wurde also erneut eindrucksvoll bewiesen😊

On this day in 1945 a brave Danish Dutch diplomat drove his car into a Japanese concentration camp and saved my grandmothers and thus my life.

It is August 15th 1945, my grandmother and her daughter (2 years old) are prisoners in Japanese concentration camp Lampersari.

So here's a thoroughly startling science story - and I promise that despite the next thing I'm about to say, it's not conspiracy-theory clickbait:
It turns out there’s a vast blob of *something* in the depths of our planet, and parts of it look a bit like a tree - and it might be ALIEN?

BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora.
These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). 🧪🌿

The past three days of AR 4114 - look how rapid the evolution of this sunspot group has been! It's frankly mesmerizing to see these kinds of movies...
AR 4114 now has an unstable beta-gamma-delta magnetic field with a 25% chance of an X-flare in the next day.
