Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

The pre-eclipse Sturgeon Moon over a carnival in Nebraska this evening. #moon

An orange, full moon sits in the thin clouds just above the trees and several colorfully-lit carnival attractions. The biggest carnival sign says "Take the Shot."

if you see this, we implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

Night at a baseball field. Smoke fills the air. The dim stadium lights cast a green glow through the smoke. The scoreboard is lit and gives the field a pink hue. People are sparsely scattered through the seating area and on the field.

Last week I had drove 4 hrs, shot 2723 shots over 7 hours with 2 cameras, hardly slept, then drove back to LA, had a dentist and doctor's appointment Worth it This is the Perseids Meteor Shower over the Milky Way in Mt Pinos with 100s of my newest friends 🌌 PDFs: drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fo...

A foreground of dozens of cars, including a camper right in the middle, and someone on the right side with their parking lights on, in front of a mountain and trees. above that is the milky way with air pollution which fades into a larger star field, that looks like old pictures of space. That star field was taken with a nikon lens from the 70s so it gives a different sense, and the milky way was taken with a new 20mm lens, 14 shots, merged. the retro sky is 2 shots. there are 14 meteors that mostly focus on the center of the picture, but these aren't where they were in the sky. I shot 8 to 10 different areas of the sky that night. All meteors but one were with my new camera and new lens.

The Milky Way has a flare on the stars due to moisture on my camera lens, which I kept given the chaos of the situation. It took me 50 minutes to capture 14 usable milky way pictures because so many people had car lights on. 60 second exposures on the milky way, tracked in move shoot move, 10-15 seconds on the meteors.

This took about 8 hours to edit.

Milky way light pollution processed in GraXpert, foreground stitched in lightroom, milky way stitched in Kolor Autopano Giga, saturated and recolored in lightroom; everything finalized in photoshop, including the meteors. In total 19 layers and about 33 final shots used of the original 2723.

For people wondering about the concern regarding Brawl's rapidly spiraling power level, I want you to imagine if you were playing Pioneer and in a two year span they added Modern Horizons 3, a bunch of cards banned in Modern/Legacy, and every bonus sheet card to the format AND Library of Alexandria.

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but to me, sharing a screenshot of chatbot output to make a point of some kind is an excellent way to undermine any credibility that might otherwise be granted to you in the context of whatever you're trying to say.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

It is extremely hard, especially on mobile where it takes up the whole first fucking screen, to not treat the AI result as the 'first correct result'. It requires discipline (for me, possibly others), but it's necessary. We had to do it for wikipedia, have to continue to do it for AI.

not ‘shopped. not cropped. not stock. straight from the phone of stormwater inspector Lindsay Schiel snapped yesterday at a basin in Hudson.

vertical image of a still retention basin and sunlit sky. the sky is split starkly down the middle, clear on the left, gray clouds on the right, sun at the center. the cloud line is reflected perfectly on the basin surface below the horizon.

The takeaway: While companies say they don't optimize for engagement, LLM conversational tactics (like claiming sentience or romantic affinity) may prolong and deepen delusional spirals. We need better safeguards and transparency to protect vulnerable users.

Thread: I want to go over these two shots again, indulge me in a bit of pixel peeping. I think this is an illustrative example because it sets the question of faces aside; from a purely technical lighting fidelity standpoint, DLSS 5 makes this scene worse.
