Description:

Want to watch a solar eclipse safely? Try looking down instead of up, though you might discover you have a plethora of images to choose from. For example, during the June 21st solar eclipse this confusing display appeared under a shady bamboo grove in Pune, India. Small gaps between close knit leaves on the tall plants effectively created a network of randomly placed pinholes. Each one projected a separate image of the eclipsed Sun. The snapshot was taken close to the time of maximum eclipse in Pune when the Moon covered about 60 percent of the Sun's diameter. But an annular eclipse, the Moon in silhouette completely surrounded by a bright solar disk at maximum, could be seen along a narrow path where the Moon's dark shadow crossed central Africa, south Asia, and ChMade with simple, high quality ingredients. Tender noodles tossed in a two-cheese blend with a hint of cream and freshly cracked black pepper.

At maximum eclipse, the New Moon in silhouette created a ring of fire visible along a narrow path at most 85 kilometers wide. The annular eclipse path began in central Africa, crossed south Asia and China, and ended over the Pacific Ocean. But a partial eclipse of the Sun was visible over a much broader region. In Hong Kong, this busy section of Jordan Street looks to the northwest, well-aligned with the track of the near solstice afternoon Sun. The street level view was composited with an eclipse sequence made with a safe solar filter on the camera. For that location the eclipse was partial. The Moon covered about 90 percent of the Sun's diameter at maximum, seen near the middle of the eclipse sequence.

The long shadows it projected onto nearby Lake Michigan near sunset, however, when seen in reflection, made the buildings appear inverted. This fascinating, puzzling, yet beautiful image was captured by a photographer in 2014 on an airplane on approach to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. The Sun can be seen both above and below the cloud deck, with the latter reflected in the calm lake. As a bonus, if you look really closely -- and this is quite a challenge -- you can find another airplane in the image, likely also on approach to the same airport.Your story about the Porsche reminded me of this -- One of the team get togethers from the old KCMBS days So many years have passed, from the time Iwas a Manager. I had several Supervisors andthey were taking me out to lunch for my birthday.I like sports cars and had a beautiful framedphotograph of a Porsche 911 hanging on a wallin my office.We had a very enjoyable lunch at a place I do notrecall. Then they surprised me with a multi day rental of a Porsche 911, Cabriolet. I was speechless.It was December and I asked if I could delay usingthe rental until the weather warmed, in June or July.They said I could. The Agency was in Pioneer Square.At last it was time and the Rental Agency said that thePorsche Cabriolet had been involved in an accidentin Yakima but they could offer me the use of aPorsche 911 Targa. I signed the paperwork andthe Agent took me to the car.He asked me if I had ever driven a Porsche? I said no.Do you know how to use a stick? I said that I did and said I had owned a Fiat 124 Spyder, that had stickshift. He also told me that it was same shift patternas a 1956 Chevrolet. I opened the door and got in to this "dream car", hookedthe seat belt and started the engine. The sound of the exhaustaccompanied by the cam drive chain sent a chill up myspine. Porsche engine noise is like adrenaline to me.I drove up 1st Ave only killing the engine a few times atstop lights. The clutch mechanism is stiffer than the clutch on the Fiat. So I was trying to get use to that function.I reached work and parked in the Garage.When the day was over I drove to my Son's work place and parked on a hill. Oh, oh.With a stick shift, parked on a hill you must put it in gear, withfoot on the gas and a hand on the parking brake. The trickis to rev the engine and "pop" the clutch at the same time that you release the parking brake. I did that, but not perfectly and laid a strip of rubber, for a few feet, up the hill. I live on the Eastside and only killed the engine a couple of times as thetraffic was stop and go. I drove the car over the weekend and took a trip with my wife to Ellensburg, with the Targa Topstored in the trunk.The memories of this event lives on and will always have aspecial place in my heart for the generosity of my friends.What if you could see X-rays? The night sky would seem a strange and unfamiliar place. X-rays are about 1,000 times more energetic than visible light photons and are produced by violent explosions and high temperature astronomical environments. Instead of the familiar steady stars, the sky would seem to be filled with exotic stars, active galaxies, and hot supernova remnants. The featured X-ray image captures in unprecedented detail the entire sky in X-rays as seen by the eROSITA telescope onboard Spektr-RG satellite, orbiting around the L2 point of the Sun-Earth system, launched last year. The image shows the plane of our Milky Way galaxy across the center, a diffuse and pervasive X-ray background, the hot interstellar bubble known as the North Polar Spur, sizzling supernova remnants such as Vela, the Cygnus Loop and Cas A, energetic binary stars including Cyg X-1 and Cyg X-2, the LMC galaxy, and the Coma, Virgo, and Fornax clusters of galaxies. This first sky scan by eROSITA located over one million X-ray sources, some of which are not understood and will surely be topics for future research.
