According to bananaforscale.info, 39,000 feet is equal to 66,782 bananas.

I really hope C/2023 A3- Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is at least this bright. Green Comet was a bit of a letdown.

That looks like some kind of space iron lung setup. Wild.

The 90s were wild for skywatchers.
Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake back-to-back completely ruined my expectations for all future comets.
Add to that the observation of Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacting Jupiter in 1994, and it seemed like these spectacular comet events were the norm rather than one-in-a-lifetime experiences.

I only got far enough south for near totality that year. I’m planning on making a trip for the next one. Just praying for good weather.

Reply to Latest video of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter kicking up dust and taking off for Flight #47. Ingenuity is well beyond its warranty at this point. The video was captured by the Mastcam-Z imager aboard NASA’s Perseverance rover on March 9, 2023. by ICumCoffee
Watching a good quality video of humans flying a helicopter on another planet....that's pretty fucking wild considering we only learned how to fly a century ago.

Yep there’s an alien craft behind the comet. That they hitched a ride on. Well according to them.

Reply to comment by MinniMemes in [NASA on Twitter] Newly-discovered asteroid 2023 DZ2 will pass Earth more than 100,000 miles (161,000 km) away–about half the distance to the Moon–making its close approach at 3:51 p.m. EDT (12:51 p.m. PDT) by ICumCoffee
You clearly still don't know what "not quite" means, even though I literally just copy pasted it. How much more could I possibly spell it out?

Up until I saw totality from the great American solar eclipse I agree. Still up there though.

That comet is one of the most memorable things in my life. I think about it pretty often.
