So many new followers; thought I'd say hi and answer questions 👋🏼

I'm Jessý, scientist & founder of Sidequest: Iceland (launching soon!) We do travel for nerds (yes, nerds.) We have tours w/ scientist guides.

The biggest #northernlights question we get: why are there so many big auroras right now?

From my tour last night: Anne in a lava field recording an impressive geomagnetic substorm.

Frederick couldn’t wait til #Caturday to tell you “Have a good day.. or else.”

TL;DR:
A huge, long-haired Maine Coon cat sits front-and-center, staring directly at the camera with an intense, lion-like expression and massive fluffy paws.

Details:
A very large, long-haired Maine Coon cat sits facing the camera, occupying most of the frame. His fur is thick and dramatic, with a full, cascading mane around his neck and chest that gives him a regal, almost mythic presence. His coat is a mix of silvery gray, charcoal, and soft white, with darker tabby markings along his face and shoulders. His ears are tall and tufted at the tips, angled outward like a lynx. He’s looking directly at the viewer with narrowed, golden-brown eyes and a serious, almost judgmental expression, mouth slightly parted as if mid-grunt or mid-meow. His front legs are huge and heavily furred, with big tufted paws resting squarely in front of him.

He’s positioned indoors in a living space. Behind him are warm wooden cabinets, an oven, a floor-to-ceiling cat tower, and a hallway lit by a bright lamp that casts a soft glow around one side of his head. The overall lighting is moody and low, which makes his silvery fur stand out sharply against the darker background. The vibe is “majestic house panther who owns the lease, the deed, and the WiFi password.”

I’m somewhat nervous sharing this painting as I created it just after my mother passed away in July this year.

A ‘loose’ watercolour of a misty wood. As I watch on in the stillness I see a familiar figure drifting away to a peaceful place 🤍

Happy Friday everyone 🕊️

#ArtAdventCalendar #Scape

A rough watercolour painting of a misty forest scene. A number of tall tree trunks appear darker in the foreground and fade away with loose foliage showing at the top of the picture. Beams of sunlight appear to break through the mist to the right and illuminate a blurry figure, what appears to be an elderly person with a stick, slightly bent over. The figure appears to be trying to find their way, drifting towards a brighter light that can just be seen in the distance.

3I ATLAS: Tails of an Interstellar Comet apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25120...
Comet 3I/ATLAS appears relatively normal when compared to Solar System comets, therefore providing more evidence that our Solar System is a somewhat typical star system.

A dark, slightly blurred view through a hotel window at night to a building covered in a clear tarpaulin wrap. Several of the windows in the building are lit in shades of red & pink and above light blue. These are glowing through the tarpaulin.
A clock face on the building reads 10.45 pm.

Last night, the sky over Alaska turned into a cosmic vortex…

A massive swirl of purple and pink auroras lit up the frozen landscape — a formation so rare that even long-time skywatchers said they’d never seen anything like it.
