Saturday morning photography challenge: Jupiter and Mercury low in the east in morning twilight.
On the morning of 15 August, the planets Jupiter and Mercury will be close together. Their separation will be slightly more than the width of the moon.
You need an unobstructed view to the east.
But where exactly to look for them? The finder chart shows that the planets will be below the star Pollux...at least at my latitude of 33 degrees north.
If you live farther north the planets will be below the star Castor.
If you live in the southern hemisphere the planets will be below Procyon, but they will not rise until the sky is considerably brighter. This event favors the northern hemisphere.
Clear skies and good luck!

Moon and Mercury rising through clouds in morning twilight, as seen in the mountains of southern New Mexico.
The waning crescent is only 1 day from new. (Total solar eclipse tomorrow for Spain, Portugal, Iceland, and Greenland).
Mercury is rather bright, outshining most other stars in the morning sky.

With the recent release of SmolServe v1.0, a lightweight server for serving #Gemini, #Gopher, #Finger and #Spartan, and the upcoming release of a Smolnet browser for Android devices which will also support lesser-known/newer protocols such as #Nex, #Text, #Scroll, #Titan, #Guppy, #Scorpion, #Mercury, #FSP, #Molerat and #Terse, it seems like the #smolweb and interest in it is far from having peaked yet.

According to the World Health Organization, mercury levels in fish should not exceed 0.5 parts per million. In parts of the Amazon basin, some fish species have been found to contain up to four times this limit, increasing the risk of neurological damage, particularly for children

Luis Ferreira, a fisher from the Mocagua Indigenous reserve, holds up two red piranhas. Studies have shown that carnivorous fish tend to accumulate higher levels of mercury than non-predatory species.

I wish I could convince south Asian (and all dark-skinned) women their natural skin and hair colours are beautiful -- they don't need to use sometimes dangerous chemicals to try to look European. But I can't overcome the huge volume of Western media full of White people.

☿️ Meet Mercury: the Solar System's fastest, toughest overachiever.
Closest to the Sun. Fastest orbit in the neighborhood (47 km/s!). A day that's literally longer than its year. And a surface that swings from 430°C at noon to -180°C at night — with basically no atmosphere to soften the blow.

#SpaceDatacenters proposed by #Musk and #Bezos ‘catastrophic’ for planet, experts warn
New US petition demands review of plans from #TechCompanies amid fears of #EnvironmentalDestruction
Tom Perkins
Thu 23 Jul 2026Excerpt: "The number of active #satellites in orbit has grown exponentially from about 1,400 in 2015 to about 15,000 currently. As many as 100,000 are expected to be in orbit within the decade, not including the #datacenter networks. As of now, the bulk of the satellites’ pollution is thought to come from #Starlink and Amazon’s '#MegaConstellations' that provide broadband internet made up of about 10,000 satellites.
"Spacecraft can cause problems on their way up and down. Launches emit a range of emissions like #BlackCarbon, #NitrogenOxides, #CarbonMonoxide, #AluminumOxide, #ChlorineGases and, once in orbit, #mercury. When satellites are decommissioned five to 15 years later, they release metals as they vaporize. That’s injecting #pollutants into previously pristine parts of the #stratosphere, a highly sensitive system, and there’s very little understanding of the consequences."
