This Atlas got lost with the bombings of WWII. Some years ago it was refound and rebought by DB train Company.
Now in September the sculpture will be collocated on its old place: on top of main station's entrance - like in the 1920s

Atlas moth, also known as the "Snakehead moth" or the "Queen of the Moths," is one of the biggest moths in the world. You’ll find these giants in the tropical forests of India, China, and Malaysia. With their earthy-colored wings and snake-like patterns on the tips, they’re built to impress and scare off predators!

I normally refrain from uploading animals in enclosures, but here an exception (in a butterfly garden).
Attacus atlas/Atlas moth, 25-30cm wingspan, this moth has no mouth, they only live a few days, so no need for eating.
Male smells female from kilometres without using chanel, so also hardly any need for female to fly.

The Atlas Cedar is probably the second most impressive tree I've stood under, second only to a really old Redwood. The mighty oak has nothing on a mature Atlas cedar tree.
Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas is also known as Comet C/2023 A3. This photo was taken with Merkly Lake in the foreground looking west over the Bear Lake Valley and Bear River Range on a smoky night. This comet is moving away from the sun in a retrograde orbit, meaning it is moving in the opposite direction to the sun's rotation. It is now more than 77,000,000 kilometers away. If you look carefully, a faint anti-tail can be seen pointing in the opposite direction from the tail, which is a rare phenomenon. The comet's tail is believed to be 18 million miles long and its orbit is so big that it won't return for 80.000 years.
I enjoyed photographing the comet from this beautiful spot as the coyotes were howling in the nearby wildlife refuge. But it wasn't all fun because when I got back I discovered my camera was stuck in manual mode and it is obvious that the dial had broken. The repair will cost $250, so I will be using my old camera for a while.

This aircraft spent six hours on Monday flying up and down over our house at about 3000ft, It's probably doing radar tests and guess what it's back today😊
