- Mars moon got its grooves from rolling stones - Computer models simulated movement of debris from a large crater on Phobos. The models show that boulders rolling across the surface in the aftermath of an asteroid impact could have created the puzzling patterns of grooves seen on Phobos today. http://news.brown.edu/articles/2018/11/phobos 9 comments science

- One summer evening, I set up my camera in my backyard in Bicske, Hungary, to try out my new 500mm telephoto lens on the moon. When I uploaded the images onto my computer I couldn't believe it, I had no idea the aeroplane had passed by, a chance in a million - and an image of our times...
