Like, this is an area about TWO PERCENT of the total scene. By my count, there's around 10 stars local to the Milky Way in this view. EVERYTHING ELSE IS A GALAXY

I strongly believe documentaries should present archival news reports, newsreels, and any other found footage in their original aspect ratios. Stop cropping!

The only way I will have any interest in this is if they start the film with Finn waking up, having dreamt the entirety of Rise of Skywalker, and picking back up at the end of The Last Jedi. At breakfast, he laughs with Poe & Rey about the silly dream logic of the Emperor returning somehow.

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.

#ResistanceRoots Amy Beach was born on this day in 1867 in Henniker, N.H. A pioneering composer and virtuoso pianist, she was the first American woman to compose and publish a large-scale symphony. Her work represents a triumph of talent over the oppression of marriage and Victorian society. /1
Amy Beach. Beach’s life was a masterclass in navigating the rigid boundaries of Victorian-era gender and social norms. Rather than rebelling openly, she strategically used the constraints placed upon her by her family, her husband and society to carve out a historic career. From her earliest years, Beach’s remarkable musical talents were met with deep parental anxiety rather than uncomplicated pride. In 1885, her marriage to Dr. Henry Harris Aubrey Beach brought another set of strict mandates. Even after achieving technical mastery, Beach faced a musical world that was hostile to women creators. Through it all, she maintained a highly prolific output by channelizing her creative energy into composition, working through intense self-education, and capitalizing on a pivotal shift later in her life. Thanks to renewed appreciation for her work, Beach has successfully transitioned from a forgotten footnote in history back to her rightful title: the Dean of American Women Composers.

photo of a beadcraft model of toothless rom how to train your dragon.  this picture shows the complete model sitting on my deskphoto of a beadcraft model of toothless rom how to train your dragon.  this picture shows me goofing around and posing the articulate jaw (!!) as if he was biting my finger.  also size comparisonphoto of a beadcraft model of toothless rom how to train your dragon.  this picture shows a work in progress stage, with toothless still missing wings.  in the background you can see black beads scattered about and my hand drawn plans for the vague patternphoto of a beadcraft model of toothless rom how to train your dragon.  this picture is a closeup of the webbing of the wings to show the craftsmanship of the bead stitching.  its a little helter-skelter at places, but the larger, even parts show a VERY satisfying texture, and softness emulating the membraine

a blue wolf-like creature in a tranquil setting.  it has a pair of graceful feathered wings around is ears and a feathery overcoat above it mane.  it's looking back at the viewer with curious red eyes and an equally curious expression.  a ghostly snake companion is coiling leisurely around it head, merging together with the wolf's form, lending them both a somewhat ethereal look.
