The filament in a light bulb is made of a long, incredibly thin length of tungsten metal. In a typical 60-watt bulb, the tungsten filament is about 6.5 feet (2 meters) long but only one-hundredth of an inch thick. The tungsten is arranged in a double coil in order to fit it all in a small space.
I was taking Remy for a walk and of course scanning the leaves for caterpillars. I spotted a tiny bit of "debris" on a maple leaf. Of course I have to check out anything that looks out of place and sure enough it was a tiny instar of a "Nematocampa resistaria" Horned Spanworm! One of the Filament Bearers they are an amazing and beautiful caterpillar! Ellicott City, Howard County, MD
I call this one turbulence because of the filament ripple imbued along the width of the cloud. Upon seeing this for the first time, my mother called this "Hugs". What's your opinion?
Do yourself a huge favor and let this wow you on black. You won't be disappointed.
Relishing External Filaments.

The giant whitefly, Aleurodicus dugesii
The giant whitefly, Aleurodicus dugesii, is native to Mexico. It has spread rapidly and is now found in many areas elsewhere..

The feathery filament called pappus makes it looks like a white puffball. Now it reminds me of the coronavirus COVID19 with the ACE2 spike protein that attaches to the bodies transmembrane ACE2 receptors that are throughout the body especially in the nose and lungs, the virus first point of entry. Treatment with an anti-ACE2 antibodies disrupts the interaction between virus and receptor. Unfortunately a certain percentage of healthy people can’t produce these antibodies, say 5%, leading to severity of infection. Elderly people with comobidities are slow to produce these antibodies and suffer greatly.

Prominences — or filaments, as they’re also called — aren’t the Sun’s rage. That’s for flares. These are gentler: tendrils of hydrogen, slowly rising from the photosphere, lifted by the shifting breath of magnetic fields.
At the eyepiece, they feel alive — subtle, intricate, always changing. The camera catches outlines, but not the dance. I like this image, but it’s still only a shadow of what the eye remembers.
The curved LED filaments of a LED bar light, which are also reflected by the glass of the lamp.
Looking close... on Friday!

Light?
Have you ever wondered from where light came
If the wondering of light is just a game
If light is playing a trick on our eyes
If light is just a bunch of lies
If light has a temperature cold as ice
If light is actually hot as rice
If light can run around the room
If light will lead us to our doom
If light can catch a traveling ball
If light can hear our pleading call
If light needs us to seeing the dark
If light can produce a menacing bark
If light can flow as fast as sound
If light is only on earth bound
If light can take a human form
If light can get caught up in a storm
I often wonder what light can do
but its secrets are not for me and you

Nothing is better to me than being up close with a lightning bolt so you actually see all the filaments you might miss from being further away. Taken on July 27th north of Sierra Vista along Highway 82.
A bright solar prominence rose up from the Sun and twisted around in about a six-hour period (Apr. 21, 2015). While some of the material broke away into space, much of it fell back into the Sun. The images were taken in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light. At its greatest height, the plume extended out many times the size of Earth, allowing numerous amateur astronomers to observe this event with their solar telescopes.

This small 2 inch circle of ceramic painting of two young children holding a umbrella in the rain with a light bulb over it for the fun of it, when I start playing with the miniature studio never know what may be the mix.
This is a scientific capture rather than an aesthetic one — acquired in H-alpha using a Lunt LS60MT with a Powermate 2.5x, from a narrow ROI (region of interest: using only a small part of your sensor (gives higher frame rate (good for lucky imagining))) and later heavily cropped. Despite the low resolution, it illustrates a key solar phenomenon: the continuity between a filament and a prominence. The structure spans across the solar disk as a dark, suspended filament and then extends beyond the limb where it becomes visible in emission as a prominence. Both are manifestations of the same magnetic structure — relatively cool plasma supported in the solar corona, seen in absorption or emission depending on the viewing angle.
A rough image, but it captures the physics — and that's it is about sometimes : Observing what you have been told, a deeper form of knowledge then you form (said Yoda).
