Great shot of Saturn 土星 to catch one's eye.

Getting cloudy here, but even so the feel of the light is changing. Shadows got sharper. An owl is hooting! Almost at max coverage here in Virginia. This was taken at 5X using my phonecam and eclipse glasses.

Halloween's a-comin', so here's something really scary: An asteroid that wasn't discovered until *after* it had already passed us.

Bonus: a classic but hard-to-find scifi doomsday movie you can watch online.
