Building a giant catcher's mitt on the moon
Members of the space exploration community are always coming up with novel ideas to solve problems that they view as holding back humanity's expansion into the cosmos. One such problem that has become more noticeable of late, due to the failure of several powered lunar landers, is the difficulty of landing on the moon.

A crazy picture of the #occultation of the #Pleiades by the #Moon right now ... shot with a handheld camera through a window and a hole in the clouds from Bochum, Germany. See https://www.facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/posts/pfbid0VgrVTvLkmkn7SjUGXRKTYTNsxUFs8kyPZXN9TbHsLiuUeb2xCY5p7SDQ6QzBsiWVl for more pictures: the cluster stars came and went and were never all at once in the clear. But hey, I kinda got it. ;-)

Sister, seems like we were all afraid you wouldn’t survive your first winter inside
But you thrived
And now, I hear maybe you are moving to Central Park - pretty swank
See you soon
👋 ❤️ 🌖 🌳

Oblivious to the idiocy on this planet tonight the cosmic clockwork just marches on ... here is the #Moon / #Venus #conjunction right now over Bochum, Germany; see https://www.facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/posts/pfbid0eWPo5yt1RFqzGPmYfskv6kiBGHP2A1PT8rR1rcZA14orAR6DyqZLCjorYoynJhiUl for more views.

Heck of a moon tonight! 🌙 #moon #astrophotography #astronomy

Next at the #SolarEclipse Conference Nick James talked about new (and finally amateur-affordable) polarization-sensitive cameras in which each pixel comes with a polarizer: since it's a while til the next solar eclipse he demonstrated it with the #Moon where the #polarization of the maria is higher than of the highlands, matching expectations. 2/n
