A Western Bluebird dropped by yesterday afternoon. Although they're around, I think this is the first time, I've ever had one at my house.

I am a bit short of current fly pictures these days ...must try to correct that this weekend.
Happy FlyDay Friday!

The ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter captured this image of the floor of the 400 km Antoniadi impact crater on 25 March 2020. This crater is located in the northern hemisphere of Mars in a region named Syrtis Major Planum.
The image was taken with the orbiter’s CaSSIS camera. The blue colour of this image does not represent the real colour of the crater floor but highlights the diversity of rock composition inside.
In the centre of the image are dendritic structures which look like veins on oak leaves. These structures are evidence of ancient river networks in this region. The structures stand up above the surface, whereas channels are usually depressions. This is because the channels were filled with harder material – possibly lava – and over time the softer rocks surrounding these branching channels has been eroded, leaving an inverted imprint of this ancient river system.

A big harvest this year, this group of woodpeckers have been harvesting for over 6 weeks, and have created two new granaries to store their acorns, this one on the roofs of several houses, and another on a palm tree. Normally they just use an old oak tree. It's so crazy now that they have to hop from tile to tile trying to find room for just one more acorn.
Loved this redhead's shadow too, with its big acorn revealed, and how clearly you can see how they use their tails to steady themselves.
Fascinating, innovative, super social creatures.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has provided astronomers with the sharpest view yet of the breakup of Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS). The telescope resolved roughly 30 fragments of the comet on 20 April and 25 pieces on 23 April.
The comet was first discovered in December 2019 by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) and its fragmentation was confirmed in April 2020.

the trace of many generations of spiders.
A corner of my greenhouse. I cleared out all the old tomato plants and washed the green algae off the inside of the glass yesterday.
Happy Webnesday!
It turns out that 2016 had one last treasure to offer up, my son James and I spotted a whale just off the coast yesterday. It was a little far away, but a fluke's a fluke! I think it was a humpback, but I'm no expert.
This is a closer image I got earlier in 2016 - Link.

Like a sprinkle of powdered sugar on a rich red velvet cake, this scene from the ESA/Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter captures the contrasting colours of bright white water-ice against the rusty red martian soil.
This delightful image was taken 5 July 2021 and soaks in the view of a 4 km-wide crater in Mars’ north polar region of Vastitas Borealis, centred at 70.6 °N/230.3°E.
The crater is partially filled with water ice, which is also particularly predominant on its north-facing slopes that receive fewer hours of sunlight on average throughout the year.
The dark material clearly visible on the crater rim – giving it a somewhat scorched appearance – likely consists of volcanic materials such as basalt.
Most of the surrounding terrain is ice free, but has been shaped by ongoing aeolian processes. The streaks at the bottom right of the image are formed by winds that have removed the brighter iron oxide dust from the surface, exposing a slightly darker underlying substrate.
TGO arrived at Mars in 2016 and began its full science mission in 2018. The spacecraft is not only returning spectacular images, but also providing the best ever inventory of the planet’s atmospheric gases, and mapping the planet’s surface for water-rich locations. It will also provide data relay services for the second ExoMars mission comprising the Rosalind Franklin rover and Kazachok platform, when it arrives on Mars in 2023.

My enterprising buddies, the acorn woodpeckers are also using palm trees for their granary this year. So they've got acorns stashed deep in the trunk of this palm tree, which is easily 100 foot up off the ground.

Winslow Homer (1836–1910) is regarded as one of the greatest American painters of the 19th century. Homer utilized both oil and watercolor in depicting 19th century American Sea and landscapes and the daily life's of those who inhabited it. He was sent to work as an artist-correspondent for the new popular illustrated journal Harper’s Weekly in 1861. We have digitally enhanced many of his beautful artworks including “the Gulf Stream”, “Croquet Scene”, “Northeaster” and many more. They are all free to download and enjoy under the CC0 license.

Almost like snowflakes, the stars of the globular cluster NGC 6441 sparkle peacefully in the night sky, about 13 000 light-years from the Milky Way’s galactic centre. Like snowflakes, the exact number of stars in such a cluster is difficult to discern. It is estimated that together the stars weigh 1.6 million times the mass of the Sun, making NGC 6441 one of the most massive and luminous globular clusters in the Milky Way.
NGC 6441 is host to four pulsars that each complete a single rotation in a few milliseconds. Also hidden within this cluster is JaFu 2, a planetary nebula. Despite its name, this has little to do with planets. A phase in the evolution of intermediate-mass stars, planetary nebulae last for only a few tens of thousands of years, the blink of an eye on astronomical timescales.
There are about 150 known globular clusters in the Milky Way. Globular clusters contain some of the first stars to be produced in a galaxy, but the details of their origins and evolution still elude astronomers.

Accidentally caught this guy with completely wrong dof setting, but interesting effect.
Today is day 187 of Project 365 (Tuesday).
