The rescue of the #astronauts stranded on the #Tiangong space station was a smooth, well-conducted, low-drama operation. Predictably, it's bringing out a bunch of #nationalist crap from #Russian and #American #fanboys. "Chinese-made garbage" etc.

I'm still enough of an idealist to cheer *any* successful human #spaceflight. If #China turns out to have built a better and longer-lasting space station than the increasingly rickety ISS, or gets humans back to the #Moon before the #US, or is first on #Mars ... well, maybe I'd rather see the Stars and Stripes than the Five-Star Red, but mainly I'll just be glad it's happening at all.

Every spacefaring nation has had accidents, some fatal. The test is in how they react. It looks to me like China passed this one with flying colors. That's all that …

A once-in-a-lifetime shot — the moon perfectly framed by a rainbow.

#WordWeavers 11.6 How is the antagonist’s community / group perceived by the people in your world?

Within the Holy Empire, the Priests (the ruling caste) are seen as benevolent guardians of the people, at least by most (and those who do not know better).

The Northmen know better, the Traders know better, but since they have little Power, they can't do much against the Priests.

That is, until some Winds and Pillars escape.

It took photographer Marcella Julia Pace ten years to capture these 48 colors of the Moon 🌕

#Photography #Moon

This image is a composite showcasing 48 different colors of the full Moon, captured by Italian astrophotographer Marcella Giulia Pace over a period of 10 years.

Pace compiled these images by selecting the most colorful full Moons she photographed, often when the Moon was rising or setting, or when atmospheric scattering caused distinct colorations.

Blood Moon Eclipse over Tower Bridge, London 🌙✨

#London #Bridge #Moon #Eclipse #Night #Reflection #Lights #Bloodmoon

A long-exposure night photograph of London’s Tower Bridge, illuminated in warm golden and white lights reflecting off the Thames River. Above the bridge, a sequence of moons shows the stages of a lunar eclipse, progressing from crescent to deep red blood moon and back to shadow. The sky is clear and dark, contrasting with the vivid colors of the bridge and water.

Walking back from a gig tonight, I noticed lots of people in Castle Street taking pictures. So I turned around to see what they were photographing.

And this is what I saw.

#Edinburgh #castle #moon #photography #clouds

A colour photograph of the moon coming out from behind thick cloud, behind Edinburgh Castle.

The castle, in the centre of the picture, is illuminated and appears bathed in orange-red light.

The moon is just above the castle, and is the brightest thing in the picture. The moon is a white disc, with no detail visible.

It is the clouds which make the picture. There are two dark circles of cloud, one on each side of the moon, which is lighting up their edges so they look like eyes or spectacles.

The rest of the sky is very dark, and the cliffs of Castle Hill are also dark.

In the bottom right corner the top of a tree can be seen, lit up by a street lamp. The leaves are bright green.

💡Time for a cool bird fact💡
The Full Moon in August is traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon, but did you know the Cree called it “The Flying Up Moon”? This refers to the time of year when young birds are learning to fly.

Here at RROKI, this is the time of year that we are taking in young birds that are learning the world and getting themselves into major trouble. Many starving patients are coming in because they have not yet learned how to survive on their own and hunt.
