HBW! I forgot to look closely at this plant when I took the photo, so I'm going to guess that it was Canada anemone. I'll correct this if anyone knows for sure. Since I am identifying, the tree silhouette on the left is a Lodgepole Pine, the one on the right is an Englemann Spruce.

In biology, “symbiosis” refers to two organisms that live close to and interact with one another. Astronomers have long studied a class of stars – called symbiotic stars – that co-exist in a similar way. Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, astronomers are gaining a better understanding of how volatile this close stellar relationship can be.

 

R Aquarii (R Aqr, for short) is one of the best known of the symbiotic stars. Located at a distance of about 710 light years from Earth, its changes in brightness were first noticed with the naked eye almost a thousand years ago. Since then, astronomers have studied this object and determined that R Aqr is not one star, but two: a small, dense white dwarf and a cool red, giant star.

Image taken at a quiet moment when I had a meeting at my daughter's school this week. I could not resist this opportunity!

- This and others in the background are almost like them dancing in the wind.

Three of us from the Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology at UC Davis traveled to, and camped in, the Big Hole Mountains in Eastern Idaho (not far from Jackson Hole, Wyoming to view the eclipse. Here is a classic eclipse photo, which really does not capture what the real event looks like. The sky is not black, but instead a dark silver glow around the eclipse event and a dark blue-violet sky.

- Simply a bokeh flower shot, but with the yellow/green colour combination, which is one of my favourites combinations.

 

Spring is sprung! Shot in our back garden

- The same peacock showing off its feathers, but this is a more close-up portrait with its feathers in the background.

This is the ATC card I made for Penny Nickles. I had a bit of a varigated french knot frenzy! As you can see, I took some artistic license with scale, colour - everything really. I thought it would symbolise spring and rebirth.
