Unfortunately in getting this photo I covered my clothes with a dusting of orange lily pollen. The lily is from the goodbye bouquet I got from work.
Mr T gave me the idea of taking pictures of all the filament bulbs I see until the 100 watt phase out starts to affect Brooklyn restaurants. Want to try.
Part of my "26 things" - a monthly photo scavenger hunt.
Close-up of the light filament from a halogen desk lamp.
Dark Filament.
This SDO close-up of a filament and active region, taken in extreme UV light, shows a dark and elongated filament hovering above the Sun’s surface (May 18, 2010). The bright regions beneath it, which show where heating is going on in the magnetic field, send up shafts of plasma that trace magnetic field lines emerging from them. Filaments are cooler clouds of gas that are suspended by tenuous magnetic fields. They are often unstable and commonly erupt. This one is estimated to be at least 60 Earth diameters long (about 500,000 miles)...To learn more about SDO go to: sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/..NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is home to the nation's largest organization of combined scientists, engineers and technologists that build spacecraft, instruments and new technology to study the Earth, the sun, our solar system, and the universe.
Taken with the sigma 70-300mm macro lens, darkened a bit, and given an 'earthy' tone. The light bulb was prepared with a rolling pin. For a closer view see this photo.
