Big news!
I've been overwhelmed with the amount of encouragement and support I've gotten from all of you lovely photography viewers over the years. Many of you told me "Brent, I want a way to support your little passion project, but I don't have the wall space or dough for a huge print! Those who reached out were generally met with something like "Maybe someday, but for now I'm too lazy/dumb to put that together."
My last post to reddit was the straw that broke the camel's back. Without further ado, I've made a Patreon page for BrentGoesOutside. If you aren't familiar with Patreon, it's kinda like kickstarter but with a monthly ongoing pledge. Now, if you pledge a minimum of $1/month, I'll send you a desktop or mobile wallpaper each month! I am working on other reward levels, but I wanted to offer something small to guage interest and get this thing off the ground. Let me know if you have ideas, too.
You can find my patreon page at www.patreon.com/brentgoesoutside
Whether or not you contribute financially to my photography, THANK YOU so much for all of the support. It's meant the world to me and keeps me going.

Comments Greatly Appreciated,
Jupiter, Antares and Mars all line up across the scene while the Milky Way rises behind Delicate Arch. Delicate Arch is always the highlight for our students in our workshops. It's always fun to hike up in the dark and then back down at sunrise. If you have never experienced the night from this vantage point, I highly recommend you put it on your bucket list. Join a group, go with friends or whatever it takes. It's really a magical scene.
This image is made from 20 single exposures all stacked and aligned to create an almost noise free image.

While I'm holding up my skirt, can you please take out a ruler and check if my stocking tops are neatly aligned? I think they're pretty okay but maybe a minor adjustment is still needed and I really can use your help with that. Maybe the stocking on the right needs a tiny extra pull upwards? Please check and adjust for me, but be gentle and tender because silky stockings are delicate and sweet satin girls are just as delicate as well.

For the very first time, SDO observed both the Earth and the Moon block its view of the Sun at the same time (Sept. 13, 2015). First the Earth blocked out the entire Sun for an hour. When it moved aside, the Moon was also blocking a portion of the Sun. Of course, none of this was visible from Earth. Due to SDO's elliptical orbit, occasionally the Earth or the Moon blocks its view of the Sun, but this double alignment was a first. The video shows the Earth moving out of the way and revealing the Moon over a brief 10-minute period. Incidentally, the edge of the Earth looks much fuzzier than the edge of the Moon because our planet has a thick atmosphere and the Moon does not. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
A little creative Moon juxtapositioning tonight with the barn's weather vane as the prop. Jupiter shining brightly to the left. Little does my friend Janet know that two celestial bodies are dancing overhead

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

There are moments in science when the universe, as we know it, shifts beneath our feet—not with a cataclysm, but with the quiet stroke of a pencil, the alignment of data, the careful demolition of an old idea. Mike Brown has lived in those moments, his mind tuned to the faint whispers of the outer solar system, listening for planets that may—or may not—be there.
He stands at the blackboard, sleeves rolled up, chalk in hand, an orbital map unfurling behind him like the skeletal remains of a great celestial beast. The paths of distant worlds arc across the dark slate, bending under the invisible tug of something immense. It is a diagram of a mystery: the search for Planet 9, a ghostly world lurking at the farthest reaches of our solar system, its presence inferred only from the improbable, synchronized waltz of frozen bodies in the Kuiper Belt.
But before there was Planet 9, there was Pluto.
It was 2005, and Brown had just discovered Eris, a world at the edge of our solar system that rivaled Pluto in size, a celestial twin that upended everything. If Pluto was a planet, then Eris should be too. And if Eris was not a planet, then perhaps Pluto wasn’t either. The debate was ferocious—astronomers, schoolchildren, and late-night comedians all weighed in—but the evidence was unyielding. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union redefined what it meant to be a planet. Pluto, once the ninth planet, was demoted to a mere “dwarf planet.”
Brown took the heat. His email inbox filled with fury. Grade-schoolers sent him hate mail. His own daughter, barely old enough to speak, turned on him: “Daddy, I want Pluto to be a planet.” The world called him the “Pluto Killer.” But science, in the end, does not bend to sentiment.
Yet Brown, the man who took a planet away, was determined to find a new one.
In the years that followed, he and his team turned their eyes to the data, noticing a strange clustering of distant objects beyond Neptune. Something—something massive—was shepherding them into unnatural alignment. There was only one explanation: a hidden planet, lurking in the darkness, at least ten times the mass of Earth.
Planet 9.
It has yet to be seen, yet to be confirmed, but Brown is undeterred. He has spent a career rewriting the solar system, casting light into the void. If Planet 9 is out there, he will find it. And if it isn’t? Well, that, too, is an answer.
Brown’s office at Caltech is filled with books and data, images of the icy worlds he has named, reclassified, discovered, or doomed. His Twitter handle, still proudly defiant, is @PlutoKiller.
But when you ask him about his work, about the universe as he sees it, his eyes lift—not with the look of a man who has taken a planet away, but with the quiet, unwavering curiosity of a man who is still searching for the next one.
Jupiter, Mars and Venus were aligned for this photograph taken in Sea Isle City, NJ during the Leonid meteor shower.
Sometimes, breaking free from the usual routine also brings in Harmony!

By correctly fitting this lens hood, as shown here... one can clearly see what a great job it's doing, in shielding the front element of the lens.
