On Sunday I traveled to the middle of the desert to capture this: The ISS against our sun. What I didn't expect: the sun producing a magnificent flare at the same time
A once-in-a-lifetime shot I'm thrilled to share with you. See the uncropped shot or get the print in the reply

Please be kind to campus security over the summer months. Without the students around they get a little bored and they need to make up for lost revenue by writing more tickets to the few faculty who do show up on campus.
To make this map I used a USGS DEM to displace a Blender mesh, QGIS to grab sat imagery, added the image as a material, fidgeted with the sun lighting, and composited the final in photoshop.
Thanks to @sidahuj ’s BlenderMCP, having Claude available to drive Blender is just👌

Congratulations to NSL’s Dr. Kyren Bogolub on receiving the 2025 Nevada Geosciences Catalyst Award! Kyren’s hard work across multiple areas of the NSL has been instrumental to the lab’s success.
We’re having a great time in Carson City supporting @unevadareno at the #PackAtNVLeg. If you’re here at State Legislature, come visit our table in room 3100.
It’s our birthday!! I don’t know about you, but I think we look pretty great for 90! Here’s to many more decades helping farmers, ranchers and private forest landowners help the land.
We had a very productive meeting at @unevadareno for the #NSFfunded Harnessing the Data Revolution for Fire Science project featuring a workshop for grad students, a poster session, panel presentations, and a field visit to the research site. #hdrfs#nsfepscor#firescience
Today we've hit 99% of our April 1 average snowpack statewide and 100% of average for this date. That last storm really helped out!
Three years at or above average is exceedingly rare in California with the last occurrence being in the late 1990s. Time to celebrate!
