Did you know that when Muslims start a war they call it jihad. When Muslims start losing they call it genocide. Funny how that works.

Every so often I see a post from someone that didn't find an eclipse an incredible experience. They didn't seem to get the hype. The sun turned into a black ball with glowing plasma shooting off of it. If that doesn't get you to feel something, nothing will 😆

Waterdamp op zich heeft slechts een geringe invloed op zuivere moleculaire Rayleigh-verstrooiing. De aanwezigheid van vocht wijzigt de brekingsindex en de depolarisatiefactor van de lucht in geringe mate. Onder normale omstandigheden aan het aardoppervlak is het effect op de werkzame doorsnede voor Rayleigh-verstrooiing of de optische diepte van de orde van enkele tienden van een procent (meestal een lichte afname). Voor het dagelijkse visuele uiterlijk van de hemel is dit effect verwaarloosbaar. De relatieve vochtigheid beïnvloedt voornamelijk de Rayleigh-verstrooiing door hygroscopische aerosolen (fijne deeltjes afkomstig van vervuiling, stof, zeezout, organische stoffen, enz.). In een woestijnklimaat kan ook Mie-verstrooing manifesteren door de aanwezigheid van grotere minerale deeltjes (niet-hygroscopische aerosolen) in de lucht door hevige stof- of zandstormen bij een lage relatieve luchtvochtigheid.

Living the dream. Een volledige zonsverduistering fotograferen boven een fantastisch stukje Spaanse architectuur. Wat was dit een ongelofelijk bizarre ervaring! #Zaragoza #Eclipse #spain #zonsverduistering

My favorite capture of the night: The moment the moon's shadow split the sunset in half, leaving a diamond ring in the sky and a breathtaking view. I call it "Shadows on the Balearic Sea". I'll have prints available for this one linked in my bio for a few days only.

Are you ready for a solar eclipse tomorrow? Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, Spain, and part of Portugal will see a total solar eclipse. The red strip in this map indicates totality. Wherever you are, watch live with NASA at 1:15 pm EDT on Aug. 12: nasa.gov/live

It really does have that futuristic Tron vibe. I'd be tempted to pack my bags and move there. It's absolutely incredible.

Terafab Texas will be the largest and most valuable building on Earth by far. And it will be stunningly beautiful.

Happy 14th Marsiversary, Curiosity! Today marks 14 years (and close to 5000 sols!) since Curiosity's dramatic drop through Mars's thin atmosphere and its safe arrival on the planet's surface! Since its landing, Curiosity has explored more than 23 miles of terrain, and found evidence of past habitable environments!

Timelapse of the ISS Optimal Propellent Maneuver (OPM)! We use this to reorient station's attitude in preparation for docking events. This one occurred over some magnificent Mediterranean city lights!

Can you imagine if a terrorist organisation or rogue state had armed even 10% of these invaders. They'd have taken it over and slaughtered thousands in hours with all the chaos created by the other 90% rushing through the city.

"IT'S MY CITY!" A Spanish girl in Ceuta is weeping for the state of her home, abandoned to the hordes by a communist tyrant. Pray for Spain.

At 7% of the global population, whites are a tiny global minority Yet whites are the only "non-minority"

The level of gaslighting we've had in the last 24 hours is absolutely off the charts. You can fuck off with this shit: - "Cueta is in Africa so it's not really Spain" Pearl Harbor is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean so it's not really the US then? - "A lot of them have gone home" If 60,000 people break into your home and then leave that is better than them all squatting in your home permanently, but they still broke into your house. - "They're refugees fleeing the climate crisis" (James O'Brien came up with this gem) No, they're not. If I was fleeing the climate crisis, I'd bring my wife and kids, not 59,999 other men. They want a better life. They can apply for a visa and if they meet our rules, we'll decide which ones we want to accept and which we do not. Otherwise they're queue-barging and can fuck off. - They can't get from to Cueta to mainland Europe because there's a stretch of water and a border there. Uhh, we're letting boatloads of illegal immigrants into Britain on the daily. There is absolute no evidence European countries have any desire to enforce their borders. - It's not a migrant invasion, it's just Morocco doing it on purpose Oh, it's an *organised* invasion. What a relief. Fuck my life.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

NEW: Spain is now deploying its military after thousands of military-aged men stormed over the border into Ceuta, Spain. Ceuta authorities are calling on Madrid to declare a national emergency after the border "totally collapsed." "The situation is absolute chaos. It’s not
