Despite fighting malfunctioning equipment, I captured one of my most surreal videos ever. That’s the moon crossing in front of the sun. You can see mountains on the lunar limb as it transits the chromosphere. Captured using a specially modified telescope from Utah in 2023.

General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: The strikes that Iran has taken on shipping up north, in the vicinity of Kuwait, have been, I believe, from surface-to-surface missiles up there. We've not seen any USV activity out of Iran that we've seen in the Gulf at this point.

It's officially been one year since NASA began releasing images captured by the James Webb Telescope. In the months since, the telescope's stunning images have expanded the limits of our imagination when it comes to deep space. See some of its most evocative snapshots below:

Most people believe that exposure to sunlight increases their risk of cancer. This is simply NOT true! We’ve been taught to fear the sun, and as a result, adults and kids are soaking themselves in a bath of toxic, hormone-disrupting chemicals. Science has long ago revealed that exactly what we put on our skin winds up in our bodies, and rapidly. What causes cancer is the ingredients of the sunscreens that we have been advised to use to "protect" us from the sun rays. The sun actually protects you against skin cancer in most cases, especially considering the powerful role of vitamin D in the body.

What's Missing From This Solar Eclipse? 🌞🌖 Have you ever stopped to think that when you see a solar eclipse, you never see the moon before or after the eclipse? Most people don't. What we see is a black circle appearing out of nowhere and moving across the face of the sun. The point being, a solar eclipse is not what they taught you in school. Nobody knows exactly what it is, but without a doubt, it's not the moon blocking out the sun.
