Played our first game of Astra today. It looks like a roll-and-write, but it's not. It's an area control game with really strategic and interesting choices.

Early morning Orion and Pleiades with satellites

А далей была найбольш актыўная фаза ззяння. Я ня ведаў, якую фотку выбраць, таму глядзіце ўсе. Цяжка было спыніцца здымаць. Амаль усе здымкі па 8 сек экспазіцыі, апошні - 30 сек. Усё адбывалася на працягу прыблізна 40 хвілін. 13 снежня 2025.

And then there was the most active phase of Aurora (about 40 minutes). I didn't know which photo to choose, so look at all of them. It was hard to stop shooting. 13 December 2025.

Мінулай ноччу я спрабаваў адразу паглядзець Гемініды і паўночнае ззянне. Гэты надзіву моцны метеорны дождж не так часта шчасціць паназіраць праз надвор'е, якое мы звычайна маем у снежні. Але я праверыў спадарожнікавыя здымкі воблакаў над нашай краінай і зразумеў, што варта спрабаваць. Апошні раз я бачыў Гемініды ў далёкім 2013.
Спачатку я прыехаў да заслаўскага водасховішча. Прыглядзеўся - на фота штосьці ззяе, але ліхтары перашкаджаюць назіранням. Вырашыў змяніць лакацыю - там было значна лепш. Ужо апасля на фота я разглядзеў некалькі слупоў. Я здымаў неба, намагаючыся атрымаць фота яркага баліда, але раптоўна пабачыў над лесам вертыкальны слуп свету. Спачатку падумаў, што гэта нехта там з ліхтарыкам гуляецца. Хутра з'явіўся другі, потым трэці... Я зразумеў, што трэба хутка павяртаць камеру. Што потым адбылося - глядзіце ў наступным пасце...

Last night I tried to observe the Geminids and Aurora. This surprisingly strong meteor shower is seldom visible due to the weather we usually have in December. But I checked the satellite images of the clouds over our country and realized that it was worth a try. The last time I saw the Geminids was back in 2013.
First, I arrived at the Zaslavl reservoir. Something shines in the photo, but the street lights interfere with observations. I decided to change the location - it was much better there. Later I noticed several pillars of light in the photo. I was shooting the Perseus and Cassiopeia constellations, trying to get a photo of a bright meteor, but suddenly I saw a vertical pillar of light above the forest. At first I thought it was someone playing with a flashlight there. Soon a second one appeared, then a third... I realized that I had to quickly turn the camera. What happened next - see the next post...

#ScribesAndMakers 12.10 — Have you ever seen a theatre production where you were impressed by the props?

Addendum to my post: I want to talk about a theater production that had almost zero props. Peter Capaldi and Zoë Wanamaker blew my mind with Constellations. It was probably one of the best plays I've *ever* seen. I adore those two. What a story, and what a rather heartbreaking end. Check it out!

A bit of background: Constellations is a two-hander play by Nick Payne that explores the romantic relationship between Marianne, a physicist, and Roland, a beekeeper. The play is set in a multiverse, where every possible future exists, and the choices made by the characters can lead to different outcomes. Peter Capaldi and Zoë Wanamaker play the lead roles, with the play's structure involving multiple versions of the same scenes, each with slight variations. The play delves into themes of love, science, and the infinite possibilities of a relationship, making it a thought-provoking and engaging experience for audiences.

BoP: i am leading a team-meeting, and i think we're going to talk about the myth of Pygmalion in thinking about self-fulfilling prophecies

* Pygmalion - sculptor who fell in love with, in all ways, a statue he made & eventually Aphrodite turned the statue into a woman.*

me, co-host of a #podcast about the #astronomy and #mythology of the #constellations: perhaps, #GreekMythology is not the right choice for a #work meeting 😅

Image of Pygmalion et Galatée by Girodet. A classical painting depicting the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. A sculpted woman, pale and marble-like but coming to life, stands on a pedestal, nude and softly illuminated by a glowing light behind her. Pygmalion, draped in a red robe and adorned with a leafy crown, leans toward her with an expression of awe and devotion, one hand pressed to his chest and the other reaching out. A small winged Cupid clings to his side, looking up at the scene. The background features soft clouds, faint architectural forms, and flowers placed at the base of the pedestal.

Okay, New York City. Bet you never thought the city that never sleeps was good for star gazing! Short article outlines where to look and when, for comets and meteors or shooting stars.

Arne Slettebak Planetarium to host Halloween-themed Cosmic Creeps and Celestial Treats presentation Friday - Abigail Pierson-Workman

#Hydra has the largest area of the 88 #Constellations that cover the entire sky in a celestial patchwork. It’s also the longest constellation, stretching 100 degrees across the sky.

It would take nearly 200 full moons, placed side by side, to reach from one side of the constellation to the other.
