Finally saw the film “Don’t Look Up,” a fictional tale of a Nation distracted by pop-culture and divided on whether to heed dire warnings of scientists.
Everything I know about news-cycles, talk shows, social media, & politics tells me the film was instead a documentary

Wind & Sky: Lunar Eclipse Mania!!! wind-n-sky.blogspot.com/2019/01/lunar-
And now, for something completely different...
Negative image of first quarter Moon (50% illuminated) from December 15, 2018 shot with Nikon D750 connected with t-mount and Barlow to Orion 10" Dobsonian reflector.

Another view of the lunar eclipse, this one shot about middle of totality with Nikon D750 and Nikkor 105mm lens, largest lens I had handy. Cropped from an HDR stack of three bracketed shots, better viewed full-sized on large screen.

A bit crude, but nice view of the lunar eclipse through telescope in our backyard, shot with my phone. Just cloudy enough to put a haze around the Moon.

As is true for all Mammals, we nurture, care for, and protect our young. So I’m guessing that if we were Bears, ICE agents who separated children from their parents would have all been mauled by now.

Oh, these are #organics in my neighborhood... Methane swells each summer and ancient carbon-compounds locked in rocks. I haven't found life on Mars, but signs say…we’re on the right track. go.nasa.gov/2HwATPi

Half the world are women and girls, so let's have half the scientists and engineers be women and girls. Just like Ava, who builds robots for fun. #JackAndTheGeniuses bit.ly/2nwmSbu
