Stars Shining

I don’t personally keep track of the stars or anything, but i feel like this year the planets have really been lighting up. I first caught venus shining and mistook it for a helicopter, then all the planets were visible at the same time, and now jupiter is probably the brightest I’ve ever seen a star tonight. Not exactly sure why they’re showing out this year but it is beautiful.

Astrophotography progress

I live in a Bortle class 9 area (inner-city/ terrible light pollution) so taking pictures of the night sky is a lot of trial and error, pointing my camera in a general direction and blindly shooting at sub-200 iso and screwing around with varying lengths of exposure. Last night I sat in my driveway for three hours with a mug of tea and finally captured a very cruddy image of something mildly interesting: That little pinkish half circle in the middle is M42, the Orion Nebula. It’s a cloud of hydrogen gas and dust 8 quadrillion miles from my back yard, which means that the picture you’re looking at is actually from 1,500 years ago. The nebula is 12 times larger than our entire solar system and has around 700 baby suns incubating inside it.

Rosalind russell movies

She is so funny! A wonder to watch and so beautiful too. I just watched Auntie Mame (1958) last night and since first seeing her in His Girl Friday (1940) early this month I’ve seen like… five of her movies. I love her I’m in love with her I can’t stop thinking about her

coffee jelly

The go-to coffee place in my neighborhood has really good beans (especially when compared to the one the college kids go crazy for - those beans are burnt, children!) and it’s super cheap I’ve been having their iced latte with oat milk for most of the year while my partner gets their coffee jelly. He likes his coffee super sweet though and I love mine with three espresso shots. I decided to add coffee jelly to my order yesterday and: I am forever changed
