The so-called “great instability” event that sent gas giants careening through space until they settled into orbits occurred between 60 and 100 million years after the birth of the solar system. Migrating planets primarily Jupiter, it turns out, may have led to the formation of Earth’s moon. Live Science explains: https://flip.it/wWBTEy

The Solar eclipse as seen from my home in Reykjavík, Iceland.

If you look closely you can see a sunspot close to the centre of the sun.

Taken with a Canon 77D, 400mm lens with a Seymour Solar filter at the front of it.

My astronaut-girlfriend left me. She apparently needed some space...

For #silentsunday Winter window views.

Photographers will understand:

You get SO EXITED about a cool thing, you WILL hang out of windows / contort at weird angles *trying* to get the perfect shot.

MUCH much later:

1: Slowly realise how bloody freezing you are (in pyjamas/ forgot a coat)

2. How much your back now hurts :(

I think that's so important, not kit or ability level. The fun part. The silly part.
