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.

Added support for rendering the orbits of the selected / hovered objects. Another to-do list item down :) #space
A screenshot of Apsis, a space object visualisation tool. It shows the Eartha, with the sun in the distance. The GPS satellites are visible, and the orbit of NAVSTAR 70 is highlighted, drawing a green ring around the planet. Backwards propagation (the past) is a solid line, while the expected position in the future displays as a dashed line.

Going to replace the keplerian propagation with proper SGP4 - looks like a good candidate to go into a compute shader, as each satellite is an independent calculation.

If you're wondering why you often can't get to CelesTrak lately, it is because we are dealing with a surge of users using software that blatantly violates our usage policy (celestrak.org/usage-policy...). We are working to clean up the mess, but they are making the site unusable for everyone.

Another friendly reminder to devs to include an option to invert the vertical axis in first person and third person games. Too many games out there missing this option, and if you're lucky, one in every hundred might respond to the request to add it. If only there was a reliable workaround :\

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a guy in his kitchen is blinded by an otherworldly light beaming through an open window. The refrigerator door is swung open and a tupperware container of food is drifting out towards the light in the window. The guy shouts, “NO!!” Panel 2: the guy is viewed from above, sprinting through a field bathed in an eerie light. He’s chasing the Tupperware of lasagna which soars farther away overhead. He shouts, “No, you bastards!!” Panel 3: two grey aliens are in an office break room. One making tea asks his seated coworker, “what’s for lunch?” With a mouthful of food, the other replies, “leftover lasagna.” The first one says, “looks good.”

This is a photo of Saturn and its rings. It's also a photo of Earth. See that bright point just right of centre? That's home. That's us.
The upper left is the night side of Saturn. Part of the ring system is visible at the top part of the frame. A broad, diffuse glow from the planet's E ring is visible in the lower half. There is a small, unusually bright point of light just right of the image centre.

Job hunting in a hostile environment. ✨
A three panel comic done in mostly a blue-purple ink. Frame 1: The artist, a tired person with their hair in a bun and a bag on their shoulder standing in the awning of a bus shelter. There's an ad on it that says "STOP HIRING HUMANS", above a woman whose face has been replace with the word "AI".
Frame 2: The bus comes, it's wrapped in an ad that also says "STOP HIRING HUMANS." The artist has a blank look. 
Frame 3: A plane has now arrived above the bus and the human. It's carrying an ad banner that also says "STOP HIRING HUMANS".
