Do you know who the artist is?
The windy drive up to and through Artists Palette is one that everyone should make (unless you are in an RV). A stop about half way through allows for a bit of exploring the colorful hills, which are volcanic deposits rich in compounds such as iron oxides and chlorite (green color).
If you've seen shots of Artists Palette on the internet that are much more vibrant and colorful, don't believe it. This is what the hills actually look like.
On a side note, a scene from the original Star Wars was filled here (out of frame to the left).
Artists Palette
Death Valley National Park
The artist was sitting in the shades of the trees in a valley which is ending to three waterfalls .
The marvelous Potami waterfalls in Samos.
To find the waterfalls one has to climb over small bridges or pieces of wood along the stream.
It takes a lot of courage to follow upstream or downstream and climb
up or down the three waterfalls.
After the second waterfall it takes time to walk in the bed of the Potami brook
And cross quite a few cascades until arriving at the third waterfall!
PS. I had to give up!!!
A whole new world!
41 light-years away is the small, rocky planet LHS 475 b. At 99% of Earth’s diameter, it’s almost exactly the same size as our home world. This marks the first time researchers have used the Webb telescope to confirm an exoplanet.
NASA’s TESS mission hinted at the planet’s existence, making it a target of interest for Webb. Webb’s NIRSpec instrument then captured the planet easily and clearly with just 2 transit observations.
Although Webb data definitively tells us that LHS 475 b is a small rocky world, the existence and composition of its atmosphere is a mystery. The planet is a few hundred degrees warmer than Earth and very close to its star, completing an orbit in just 2 days. However, its red dwarf star is much cooler than our Sun, so scientists theorize an atmosphere is still possible. Additional follow-up observations are scheduled this summer.
