Do billionaires buy groceries? What's their perception on how much money daily living expenses are? Do they think milk costs $20/gallon or $1/gallon?

I need every Nu-Metal band from 2001-2008 to find their old hard drives and release the songs they thought weren't good enough to make the cut. They were fine. And we need to hear them.

Looking through my astrophotography thumbnails, you can see the Orion Nebula rotate slightly as I imaged it throughout the year.

Photographed the stunning Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51. Located about 23 million light-years away, this classic spiral galaxy is interacting with a smaller galaxy, creating its iconic shape. #Astrophotography #Messier51 #CosmicWonders

Captured a shot of Comet ATLAS! This comet recently disintegrated as it approached the Sun. It's a fascinating glimpse into the life and death of a comet. #Astrophotography #CometATLAS #CosmicWonders

Snapped a shot of the Dumbbell Nebula, glowing beautifully from 1,360 light-years away! It's vibrant red and green hues mark the remnants of a star that began shedding its outer layers about 10,000 years ago. #Astrophotography #DumbbellNebula #CosmicWonder

I'm stuck looking up! Captured Caldwell 23, an edge-on spiral galaxy, under the clear night sky! The dark bands running through the middle are dust lanes, filled with interstellar material that adds a dramatic silhouette to this cosmic beauty. #Astrophotography #Caldwell23 #GalaxyGazing

First shot with the new framing mode on the Seestar S50 smart scope. I'm loving it. I wish there was an unlimited framing size tbh.
