Scene from Picard Season 3. We're in space and looking at one of those giant Federation spacedocks that looks like a floating mushroom. We see a beautiful version of the Enterprise from the underside doing a fly by. Exploding all around are big bursts of fireworks. Reds, greens, yellows, purples, pinks all beautifully fireworking it up in space.  Can fireworks burst like this in space? I'm sure people will argue and expound in the comments, stay tuned!

Feb 2nd - Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today. Do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow? That's right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's #GROUNDHOGDAY 📽️📅 Groundhog Day (1993)
4 Screenshots from the movie "Groundhog Day" (1993): First, a man wearing glasses and a hat excitedly greets another man in a town square, with the subtitle "Ned!" visible. Second, a man sits in a vehicle with a groundhog on his lap, looking determined as he drives. Third, a man observes an intricately carved ice sculpture of an angel, surrounded by an audience behind a wooden fence. Fourth, a man plays the piano on stage, accompanied by a double bass player, with a backdrop of green foliage and soft lighting.

Feb 1st - Weatherman Phil Conners tells viewers that he won't be in the studio for the 10 o'clock weather tomorrow, as he'll be in Punxsutawney for #GroundhogDay 📽️📅 Groundhog Day (1993)
4 Screenshots from the movie "Groundhog Day" (1993): First, a man in a suit and a woman in a blazer sit at a news desk with a cityscape visible through large windows behind them. Subtitles read, "I'm not gonna be here for the 10:00. Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, and I'm going out to Punxsutawney." Second, the same scene continues with the man speaking, his hands clasped. Subtitles read, "So as you know, according to the legend, tomorrow, February 2nd." Third, the man is still speaking, and the woman looks at him attentively. Subtitles read, "if the groundhog wakes and sees his shadow,". Fourth, the man gestures with his hand while talking, and the woman smiles slightly. Subtitles read, "we've got six more weeks of winter to look forward to. So keep your fingers crossed."
