As hockey teams fight cancer this month I go back to 2016. This is my Grandson who was battling cancer at that time. He is now 16 years old and we give thanks daily that is is here.

Brilliant picture!

Another 5+ years and we'll be halfway between the film's release and First Contact Day. 😄
Resistance to time is futile!

Bomb Cyclone Fujiwhara 🌀🌀

Yes, those are real words. Another area of low pressure is rapidly deepening off the Pacific coast, this time spinning around the first “bomb cyclone” to the north to eventually become the stronger system of the two.

What's happening with these clouds? While it may seem that these long and thin clouds are pointing toward the top of a hill, and that maybe a world-famous observatory is located there, only part of that is true. In terms of clouds, the formation is a chance superposition of impressively periodic undulating air currents in Earth's lower atmosphere. Undulatus, a type of Asperitas cloud, form at the peaks where the air is cool enough to cause the condensation of opaque water droplets. The wide-angle nature of the panorama creates the illusion that the clouds converge over the hill. In terms of land, there really is a world-famous observatory at the top of that peak: the Carnegie Science's Las Campanas Observatory in the Atacama Desert of Chile. The two telescope domes visible are the 6.5-meter Magellan Telescopes. The featured coincidental vista was a surprise but was captured by the phone of a quick-thinking photographer in late September.

Transitioning from X to this site, looking for my previous friends from science and #StarTrek #StarGate #DrWho #Expanse and other sci-fi fandoms #LLAP🚀☄️🖖

Stars can create huge and intricate dust sculptures from the dense and dark molecular clouds from which they are born. The tools the stars use to carve their detailed works are high energy light and fast stellar winds. The heat they generate evaporates the dark molecular dust as well as causing ambient hydrogen gas to disperse and glow. Pictured here, a new open cluster of stars designated IC 1590 is nearing completion around the intricate interstellar dust structures in the emission nebula NGC 281, dubbed the Pac-man Nebula because of its overall shape. The dust cloud just above center is classified as a Bok Globule as it may gravitationally collapse and form a star -- or stars. The Pacman Nebula lies about 10,000 light years away toward the constellation of Cassiopeia.
