Used for the United States Apollo space mission, this is a Saturn V rocket sitting on the launchpad. I collect stamps about space and flying, and this one is from the Emirate of Fujeira.

So, today I found out that there was supposed to be this comet visible in the sky that was the brightest in recent memory. I did a little research and found out that yesterday, July 23rd, 2020, it was at it's brightest. I figured tonight ought to be just about as bright, so I went out looking for it. I got lucky and was able to get the best shot possible with my DSLR from right in my driveway. I took several shots and this one was one of the best I could get out of my equipment. But at least I got a useable image out of. it Like I did with Hale-Bopp back in 1997. It's actual name is Comet C/2020 F3 (Neowise.) There's just so many fascinating things under the heavens and earth that make me glad to be alive and to be able to see some of these wonders.

I was taking out the trash earlier tonight and looked up and saw Venus and the moon close together. So I set up my camera on a tripod and got a shot of this conjunction.

I believe I saw the Starlink array (if that's what it's called) fly over tonight. I was out getting ready to shoot the moon/Venus conjunction and looked up and saw a long train of satellites coming toward me. I was not prepared to get this shot because I hadn't set my camera yet, but it looked interesting when I first saw it.

Tonight, I took this picture of a spacecraft, a G. I. Joe toy from the late 1980s, and edited it into a starfield background.

These are some of the largest known Kuiper Belt objects. The Earth's moon has been included on the right for comparitive size. I think things like this are fascinating because it shows there's so much we don't know about out there.

Astronomy humor.

While not an actual stamp, it was in some space stamps that I got for my collection. I guess it's more of a seal than a stamp.

A stamp from a history of space series of stamps in my collection.

A stamp dedicated to NASA flight Apollo 10.
