As they returned to the airlock, the Earth below started to put on a lightning show, and Ayers took note, mesmerized. A day later, she picked up a camera and captured some additional lightning strikes, saying, "I am so amazed by the view we have up here of our Earth’s weather systems." I've chosen my favorite of these photos for today's post.

So I've been posting space related stuff here for a while over !space@lemmy.world to distribute content more, within the last few weeks though it was closed and now directs posting to this other mander space comm !space@mander.xyz which is titled "Space & Astronomy"

So now I'm wondering what the differences are? What kind of content should go to !astronomy@mander.xyz over !space@mander.xyz and vice versa?

Hey everybody, I know it's a little late, but I wasn't really sure how the weather was going to be until a little while ago. I'd like to invite you all to join me in looking at the sky tonight. What's on the menu:

• The full moon is going to steal the show tonight, of course. I may spend some time gawking at it.

• globular clusters: I've been having a hell of a time catching M3, but I'm going to try again tonight. I'm also going to attempt M53. I'm kind of hoping that coma berineces will be able to point me to my targets. I may also attempt M67 in Cancer.

• galaxies: probably not tonight with the full moon. I know it's doable, but I have a hard enough time with them as it is.

I'll share my findings later!
