A Post Card Home

An interesting evening ending at Leacock's home. Looking out I could see the comet NEOWISE in a

postcard setting:


Earlier I saw the comet below the Big Dipper with the space station in the foreground.

Calm 19°C and only a few mosquitos

Bass Lake from the end of Line #13- 50 photos.

Eclipse Counterpoint

3 points of view:

SDO - Solar Dynamic Observatory. And the reason for the 2 aurora alerts between Aug 14 and 21.
The top is from the ISS by Roscosmos’ Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy.
And the middle - of the Sun, Moon, and ISS - by Trevor-Mahmann

And 3 different pinhole "cameras" or projectors:

A simple colander - or why one should eat salads!

The images are reflections from the windows on buildings opposite. Each window acts as a
‘pinhole’ to image the eclipsed sun just as the spaces between leaves do.

And try to always start the day with a good creative breakfast.
And then there were those confused:

- talk about turning one's head. Reminds me somehow of Sesame Street.

And my dear sister:

Or am confusing one with my significant "Other"? I like Burgundy when I cannot have maple  syrup.

Partial Solar Eclipse from Mikisew Provincial Park, Ontario Canada

Several dozen (36 counted for sure, maybe as  many as 48 - unlikely to have been 60) campers joined Vicki and me "on the beach" to observe the prelude to the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse

This is what SOHO, the solar space observatory

saw this morning.
And this afternoon I photographed this - in  front of witnesses!

That I think is "pretty cool" even if I have to say so myself - blog!

And for something even cooler - from the ISS and photographed by Expedition 52 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin:

It must be true!
