✨ Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is Here! ✨

As someone who’s passionate about looking at the sky, Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) is visible at times, and it’s putting on quite a show! 🌠

📷 This evening, I saw the comet well-positioned in the sky, midway between Venus and the bright star, Arcturus.

⏰ Now is your chance to witness this stunning comet as it moves across the evening sky.

🔭 Viewing Times:
-About 45 minutes after sunset
-Now until October 26th (but dimming as each day progresses)
-Best viewing Oct 14th & 15th

🔭 Where to Look: Look toward the western sky, low near the horizon. Each evening, you’ll notice the comet will rise a little higher, but appear slightly less dim as it continues its journey.

🕰️ How long will it be visible each night?
On October 15th, the comet will be visible until it sets about 1 hr 20 minutes later. By October 26th, it won’t set for about 4+ hours, however by this date it will be very dim and will only look like a faint star.

💫 Nearby Objects: To help locate the comet, start by finding Venus, one of the brightest objects in the evening sky.

☄️ A comet is a celestial traveler made of ice, dust, and rock, and as it nears the Sun, the heat causes it to release gas and dust, forming a beautiful glowing tail.

Make sure to catch this once-in-a-lifetime sight and share it with your friends and family! The skies are full of wonder, and watching a comet like this reminds us of the vast beauty of the universe. 🌌✨ . .

🌌✨ Hey everyone! Thursday night is a great night to catch the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights! 🌟

I - - even saw them in southeastern Virginia, which doesn’t happen often!

If you’re in a dark spot away from city lights, look to the north. You might see some amazing colors dancing across the sky.

It’s a natural light show you won’t want to miss! Grab your friends, bundle up, and enjoy the magic!

Backup power can be critical during and after a disaster. 📍

I, CEO , had pre-scheduled interviews to discuss the importance of backup power during emergencies, and as I scroll through social media, my heart aches for those affected by . 💔

So many are facing unimaginable loss and challenges, and I can’t help but wish for a way to ease their struggles. 🙏🏻

While typical gas generators require outdoor use and constant refueling, I wanted to share the 2000v2 as a potential solution. It’s a compact, lightweight lithium-ion phosphate backup power system that can be used indoors and operates quietly, making it a more manageable option during difficult times.🔋

It can even power a refrigerator for up to 8 hours, and can be recharged with solar panels, offering a more sustainable way to keep essential devices running. ☀️

Stay tuned for an deal coming soon. You can also pre-order your Jackery 2000v2 now on Amazon.

Please take care of yourselves, each other and your pets, as recovery efforts continue. My thoughts are with everyone impacted by this storm. 🙏🏻 . .

⚠️ ELECTRIC VEHICLES that have been flooded from saltwater can catch on FIRE 🔥.

Salt can conduct electricity. ‼️

This is a growing problem in disasters and some people are losing their homes from their sparking fires in their flooded garages. 🌊

⚠️ Urgent Alert: Even if you are outside Hurricane Helene’s forecast cone, the potential for devastating impacts remains.

📍As of Thursday evening, Helene is affecting almost all of Florida!

Helene is a dangerous major hurricane.

Even in southwest Florida in places like Ft. Myers Beach, STORM SURGE (see forecast storm surge - image 2) is making roads impassable and necessitating water rescues. The northeast quadrant of the storm (which is Florida on Thursday night) experiences the most severe effects, with high winds pushing significant ocean water inland. 🌊

Historically, storm surge has been the leading cause of fatalities during tropical cyclones. I sincerely hope everyone along the coast heeded evacuation orders. Prayers go out to everyone in FL - especially those bracing for landfall in the Big Bend region. 🙏🏻

The imminent danger is heightened by the fact that some of the worst impacts may occur overnight. Please keep your NOAA weather radio on alert mode to ensure you receive any weather alerts such as tornado or flash flood warnings. 📻 Tornadoes most commonly occur in the outer bands.

Please prioritize your safety; your life, your family’s lives and the lives of your pets are invaluable. ❤️‍🩹 . .

Annular eclipse is just days away! Mark your calendar for October 14th. These super cool images show the difference between a partial, annular, and total solar eclipse. Those of you in the path of annularity will see something like the image in the middle (barring cloud cover).

If you’re in the path of annularity on October 14th and don’t have cloud cover, you’re in for a treat! You’ll get to witness an annular solar eclipse. While the rest of the USA won’t see a sight quite as spectacular, a partial annular eclipse is in store. . .
