After launching the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, or #IXPE, a #spacecraft intended to study some of the most energetic phenomenon in the universe, the #Falcon 9 #booster core #B1016 landed on the Autonomous #Spaceport Drone #Ship and returned to #Port#Canaveral.
The Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex built the Atlantis #Museum, they built life-size replicas of the Space Shuttle External Tank and Solid #Rocket Boosters directly in front of the building which held #SpaceShuttle Atlantis.
Known by a variety of names, including hoary #mugwort, beach wormwood, and Dusty Miller in the US, the Artemisia stelleriana #plant grows along the sandy shores of the Canadian, Alaskan, Siberian, and Scandinavian coasts, as well as down the US Atlantic coast.
Despite its very small #flowers, it is a #sunflower relative.
What is it with these annoying #mastodon accounts that post AI "art" under the pretense as if t is a real #photograph, along with #hashtags to lure in readers and ultimately followers?
More and more of these are popping up in the last few weeks and when checking out their profile, everything is faked. Their own portraits, all the pictures in their posts. The posts say nothing substantial than just random BS with no actual source.
I was surprised to get a mid-afternoon visit today from our one of our neighborhood #foxes (they're usually more nocturnal). The #RedFox stopped where we often feed the birds. I had thrown out some old bread for the birds to eat, but my fox friend found it first.
Once he realized we were discretely watching him, he reluctantly walked off without finishing his meal.🙁
The wide variety of animal prints🐾 in the snow are presumably from the nearby skunks, racoons, squirrels, rabbits, and opossums-- only a few of the indentations are from my small dog (who is about the same size as the fox), since she rarely walks in that area.
[The glass on the patio door is a bit dirty, so there are some spots in the original image.]
Photo taken in #AuroraIllinois USA (far suburban Chicago), in the section of the state referred to as "the #FoxRiver."
My notes from 2011 are the worst but I'm pretty sure this was in the Tate Modern & I'm somewhat sure it was called something like, "Am I Late for the Film?" or "Am I Late for the Party? a feeling we've all had at that stage of life I suppose-- anybody recognize this or know who the artist was
A photograph of the moon from 29 December 2023 made from a stack of 5 exposures, aligned in Hugin, exported as an EXR file, then processed in Luminance HDR with the gamma turned down a bit. #moon#night#photograph
It's not a technically good photo but one of my favorite #BirdPhotography photos for 2023 is this first try at a hummingbird in the rain called, "A light in a dark forest"
One of the earliest photos of me for #ThrowbackThursday and this would have been perhaps a sunny October evening in 1971 on Southsea seafront where my parents lived in a flat for the first couple of years of my life.
