It doesn't look like much, but this MIGHT be the most insane photo I have ever taken.
There are 2 very faint "eyes" in this picture, and it's one of the farthest objects you can photograph with a telescope, at a distance of 10 BILLION lightyears.
More about this soon 🤩

Only 100 shark attacks are documented worldwide each year, and fewer than 15 percent of these are fatal. Some researchers think a small population of especially bold sharks may be responsible for the majority of attacks on humans. 🧪

Fucking ridiculous
1. Getting word that we have another anti-trans EO tonight, this time targeting teachers.
It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license."
