My favorite capture of the night: The moment the moon's shadow split the sunset in half, leaving a diamond ring in the sky and a breathtaking view. I call it "Shadows on the Balearic Sea".
I'll have prints available for this one linked in my bio for a few days only.

This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight.
Captured from a GoPro I clamped onto a proper camera to record simultaneous video. (I’ll show you the photo the better camera took in the reply)

Captured last night- probably the coolest comet shot I've ever gotten. I've never seen such a dynamic tail on a come. Incredible active, and moving quickly, which makes photographing it a challenge.
See how it moves in the reply.

I am typing this with my brain. It is my primary communication.
Ask me anything! I will answer at least all verified users!
Thank you @elonmusk!

Starship spoils us, but this is still the gold standard of launch webcasts:

Despite loss of many tiles and a damaged flap, Starship made it all the way to a soft landing in the ocean!
Congratulations @SpaceX team on an epic achievement!!

What an incredible sight from Starbase!

Mention of Hurricane Force winds in the shipping forecast.
Force 12 on the Beaufort scale. Never seen in my career
Important to note we physically cannot get Hurricanes here in the UK but Hurricane is a measure of wind speed
Anything greater than a mean of 64kt. Around 75mph

Heathrow Airport operated it's first passenger flight on this day in 1946. Here's a view of all the @HeathrowAirport flights we're tracking right now. The sheer number of these shows how pivotal London's hub is to global connectivity.

NEWS: @Tesla Model Y wins the 2023 safety car award from What Car?
"There is no safer place to put your money or your family in 2023 than the Tesla Model Y."
In addition, the Model 3 won the Executive Car Of The Year, as well as the Efficiency award.

Surely this should have be scrapped by now??
This @Tesla Model 3 that we regularly service has covered 175,000+ miles in 3 years. It’s had brakes pads and discs, tyres and a few suspension components, but nothing else. It’s almost like the batteries don’t fail every 3 years 🤷🏻♂️
