Picture of the day: You all seemed to enjoy the Ocellaris clownfish, so I figured I would share another anemonefish! This beauty is a Clark's Anemonefish, differentiated by the neon blue highlights.

Sun and moon combo: I finally got some OK skies overnight last night and few enough clouds to shoot through during the day today to get another moon/sun combo. These images were captured a little over 9 hours apart.

Picture of the day: An ocellaris clownfish dancing among the tentacles of its anemone host. These fish were everywhere in Dumaguete, Philippines but they are in constant motion, so they are not easy to capture.

No 2.5 hour road trip to witness an aurora last night. I slummed it in my back garden! #aurora #auroraaustralis #NewZealand

My dry suit recently sprung a small leak in the wrist seal. I decided to do my own wrist seal replacement, so I wrote up a blog post about it. This isn't a full tutorial of how to do it - I'll leave that to the pros. This is more meant as a tips and tricks/overview of the process to help others decide if they want to do it themselves.

I've put 2 cold water dives on the new seal and it works great!

Astronomers discover new Earth-sized world orbiting an ultra-cool star

"Next steps for the project could include follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope, which would deliver important insights into the planet's surface mineralogy, and the potential for an atmosphere."

Picture of the day: Following up on yesterday's picture of the Jellyfish Nebula, I have a picture of a Lion's Mane Jellyfish. This species can get very large, but this one was small.

Picture of the day: This wild-looking supernova remnant is nicknamed the Jellyfish Nebula. Supernovas produce some of the strangest objects in the night sky.

I can't even tell you how bad the #NHLBruins record is in 6v5

Phreba, 29 days ago to nba

The #nba has serious officiating issues. Too many reviews, indecisive calls, bad calls and just too many calls. No flow.

the refereeing is a joke. Clearly they are only looking at the Bruins. Because the Cats are angels.

What a joke.

Seeing the northern lights with my own eyes was an amazing experience this weekend! I wrote up a blog post about it and assembled a new video. Check it out!

Not a great image, because I was shooting around the clouds but I had to capture the source of our Aurora fun. That big chunk on the right side has been blasting us with solar mass to light up the sky!

The Aurora put on a show for us last night! This was 10 second exposures @ f/2.8 on my Canon T3 + 14mm lens. So cool!

It's not quite as active now, but the aurora was wild earlier. This was just a simple night lapse on my Hero11 - we could see colors and pillars with the naked eye, but the camera is next level

PSA: If the sun is out where you are and you still have your eclipse glasses, put them on and take a look at the sun. There is a giant sunspot visible on the lower right side. I took pictures of it a couple days ago, but it's still wild to see it with my own eyes.

Also, if you live in the northern latitudes, there's a chance for some strong aurora activity tonight. If it's clear, I'll be pointing my camera north to see if I can get anything!
