40 years of the Hobet Coal Mine in West Virginia, a mountaintop removal mining method. It went bankrupt in 2015.

Amazing!! OG Appalachian name is back!

Latest observation of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS that is expected to be visible in early October. It is brightening, but still very small (less than 0.5 degrees). If it survives the trip around the sun, it should be naked-eye visible, but like a small fuzzy streak.

Heckova show so far at NAS Oceana today. High relative humidity = epic Mach cones!!

Sunrise on the first day of autumn in West Virginia 🍁🍁 Happy fall!
