Tonights Moon is in its Waxing Gibbous phase, approximately 70% illuminated. This phase occurs as the Moon transitions from the First Quarter towards the Full Moon, with increasing illumination each night. 

This image captures Jupiter shining brightly in the early night sky, accompanied by its four largest moons—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. As dusk fades, the gas giant stands out against the deepening blue, its moons appearing as tiny specks of light in orbit. The glow and subtle diffraction spikes around Jupiter add to the celestial beauty of the scene, making this a stunning example of what can be observed with binoculars or a small telescope. A true glimpse into the wonders of our solar system, just after nightfall. 

This is a stunning first attempt at astrophotography, capturing a detailed view of the Moon in its first-quarter phase. The image showcases the rugged lunar surface, with craters and mountain ranges sharply defined along the terminator—the line between the illuminated and shadowed portions. The contrast highlights the depth and texture of the Moon’s terrain, making features like Mare Imbrium and the cratered southern highlands stand out beautifully. A fantastic start to a stargazing journey!

1.6M+ sign a petition demanding a UK general election, but it'll be rejected due to rules: petitions can't ask for votes of no confidence or changes to jobs (including the government). Public outcry meets procedural roadblocks. 🗳️  #GeneralElectionNow 

Watching this brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of how many people feel isolated during Christmas. Sometimes, just £0.79 can make a world of difference. Introducing the 2024 charity Christmas video and single, Send Me a Sign, inspired by the heartwarming tradition of John Lewis Christmas adverts.

Sam created the video and song from scratch on a budget of less than £500, with the hope of raising awareness about loneliness. Every purchase of the single goes directly to two wonderful UK charities, Re-engage and Friends of the Elderly, to help bring companionship and support to those who need it most.

If this touched you, please consider sharing it. Let’s come together to make this season brighter for everyone. Your contribution could bring hope to so many who feel alone.

 

Tommy Robinson supporters calling themselves 'patriotic' is laughable—comparing him to real war veterans is not just misguided, it's downright disrespectful. Patriotism isn’t grifting for money; it’s about honoring those who've truly sacrificed for their country.  #RespectRealHeroes 

The face you make when you realize Trump won… again! 😂 Guess the comeback is real!  #Trump2024   #RoundTwo
