So I'm pulling another all-nighter at the observatory. We were asteroid hunting and successfully tracked the potential Earth killing asteroid 27GB026. Wouldn't you know that scientists apparently like to keep an eye on those things, make sure they aren't getting off track. I made a GIF of it.

Look at that sucker go. Fun to think that little white dot
moving across the sky is another world that has a finite probability
of killing everyone you love. Gorgeous. |
Now I'm shooting the Andromeda Galaxy again since it will take probably 12 pictures each with half an hour of exposure time to create a mosaic. The Andromeda Galaxy is actually larger than the moon in the night sky and if you haven't see it naked eye yet, you really should add it to your bucket list. Nothing like realizing that faint fuzzy can barely be seen thing in the sky is 400 billion more stars that could harbor hundreds of intelligent civilizations looking back at us as we both wonder 2 million lightyears apart whether we have some stuff in our eyes. That is what it looks like honestly, like you've got some fuzz on your eye. It's awesome.
Also I wrapped hot dogs in crescent roll dough and baked it for lunch. It was kind of okay.
