THE THOLIAN WEB: Readers of a certain age will remember The Tholian Web. It appeared in a 1968 episode of Star Trek (The Original Series). Captain Kirk was caught between dimensions while Spock and crew rushed to rescue him. At the same time, the Tholians weaved a destructive energy web around the Enterprise.

Fast forward to 2025, and the Tholian Web is real. The checkerboard streaks in this image were photographed by Lorenzo Comolli of Saint Barthelemy, Italy. He was trying to take a picture of Comet Lemmon in September, but as the exposure time increased, more and more Starlink satellites crossed the field of view.

"It seems that the promise of Musk of dark satellites is completely void. They are really bright (2nd and 3rd magnitude)," says Comolli. "This makes me worry for the future quality of the sky."

Image showing the night sky filled with stars and a comet to the lower left. Crisscrossing the view are many white lines caused by StarLink satellites. In the upper right of the image is a picture of the star ship Enterprise (NCC-1701) being trapped in similar crisscrossed lines from the episode The Tholian Web.

I really can't get over how beautiful these prints look framed. Let me tell you my jaw dropped when I put one in to photo it!🥹

I want to transport myself to that rock and just go be with the stars.😍

There are still some avaliable if you want to surround yourself with the universe too!💜💫

First attempt at the real SHO palette.
I'll need another night of data as last night was cut short by clouds, so the SII signal is still rather weak and noisy.

But I'm already in love with how it looks...

Updated my Photos with 130 more :)

Finally after months of wanting to do this , I did it. I organized my photos tiotrom.com/photos/ - added 130 more :) and added a description for them all. Useful I think. These are the most interesting, beautiful, and important photos I have taken.

I will share a handful here.

If you look closely you see the Andromeda Galaxy in this one:

Our Tortuga and the Universe:

I love the colors in this photo, it was a beautiful day (Sasha is the one jumping):

Caminito del Rey:

Tortuga and the Orion Belt:

One of the most amazing caves out there:

Just a lake but I love this photo:

We found a giant bench :)

Sunset in the mountains:

Cares trail in Picos de Europa, the most amazing hike:

Sotres, a super nice village on top of a mountain:

Also the most amazing lookout:

Around that area I took a photo of this baby horse and his mama:

And on top of Picos de Europa:

The ALIEN desert we visited:

And more.... :)

Memories. Wonderful places. And will create more such memories.

It seems that the original Star Trek series predicted the future with the 'Tholian web'
Anyone attempting to take photos of the night sky now has to contend with thousands of streaks from mainly Musk's Starlink satellites. 😠

An screenshot of an article from spaceweather.com including an image of a comet in the night sky where the image of the comet and stars  is crisscrossed with trails of satellites in an image reminiscent of a star trek episode where the enterprise is held in space by a 'web' created by aliens.

Explanation:
That big, bright, beautiful Full Moon you watched rise on the night of October 6 was the Harvest Moon. Famed in festival, story, and song, Harvest Moon is just the traditional name of the full moon nearest the time of the northern hemisphere's autumnal equinox. According to lore the name is a fitting one. Despite the diminishing daylight hours, as the growing season drew to a close in the north, farmers could harvest crops by the light of a full moon shining on from dusk to dawn. Later this year than usual, in 2025 October's Harvest Moon was also known to some as a supermoon, a term becoming a traditional name for a full moon near the time of lunar perigee. And this telephoto snapshot of the (almost) full moon rising above a conspicuous skyscraper in New York city, taken on October 5, is suggestive of yet another full moon moniker.
