Here's a view of Saturn’s moon Enceladus made from images captured by #Cassini 12 years ago on November 30, 2010 #OTD. It shows geysers erupting from "tiger stripe" fissures near its south pole.

On flight day 13 of the #Artemis I mission, @NASA_Orion reached its maximum distance from Earth, 268,563 miles away from home.
Orion has now traveled farther than any other spacecraft designed to carry humans to deep space & safely return them to Earth. go.nasa.gov/3Fd8hf1
ALT The Orion spacecraft stands out against the blackness of space. It shines bright with white, silver, and blue colors with a large red NASA logo in the middle. The Moon and Earth can be seen in the distance; the Moon is grey, and Earth is white and blue swirls. Credit: NASA

I’m impressed with how the ads here have gone downhill. I got an ad in Spanish. I don’t speak (or read) Spanish. I also got an ad for some sort of local novelty shop that doesn’t at all look interesting.
We're still trending towards a negative leap-second. I cannot tell you how excited I am at seeing everything break when/if that happens.

9:30 AM: I filled the feeder with expensive, organic birdseed.
11:32: This red-bellied woodpecker(?) is tossing seeds down for the squirrels since they can’t get it themselves. How thoughtful. It’s down by ~1/5.
11:48: The bird briefly leaves, feeder is at 1/2.
4:15 PM: Empty.
My bird feeder is right outside my window. A red-tailed hawk just tried (and failed) to pick off one of the pigeons that were eating under it. Quite a commotion, though.
