Fun fact. A car-sized asteroid passed 1000 km above the Arctic this morning. Newly-discovered asteroid 8NIQ001 approached from the daytime sky. It wasn't discovered until after a close approach of ~1000 km above the Arctic. Original post

Meteora, Greece, is a stunning complex of monsteries perching atop towering rock pillars. Meteora means 'suspended into the air', a fitting description for this place. For centuries, monks had to use rope ladders to reach the monasteries. Original post

On 16 November Mars will appear very close to Jupiter. Also all 4 of Jupiter's Galilean moons will be visible. Should be an amazing sight through binoculars and a brilliant photographic opportunity. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography

The Hornet (599 in US) has a name that goes back to 1998 when it was a 600cc middleweight. It has been revived as a middleweight more recently with a 750cc motor as the CB750 (there's also a 1000cc Hornet). #motosky #motorcycle #bikersky #motorbike #honda #hornet #cb750
