There Exists a Haze 133/365 Side A by Mardi Linane

19 3

a haze exists

as I look out

the windows of

my dreams

a haze that

hangs just

below the stars

lingering

just before dawn

lifting only

to reveal

a mirror

like some kind

of joke

I lie relaxed

wondering

about the beautiful

altered life

just above

the surface

of this dream

“Afterlight” – NGC 3521 with Asteroid (47050) 1998 HN20 and Supernova SN2024aecx.

This image presents a view of NGC 3521, a flocculent spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo, but with two unique elements that add potential educational value:

1. Supernova SN 2024aecx, a recent event, is visibly embedded within the galaxy’s core region.

2. Asteroid (47050) 1998 HN20, a main-belt asteroid, was captured in 9 stacked frames as it moved across the field, juxtaposing a solar system body against the backdrop of an extragalactic scene.

The asteroid’s subtle shift and the supernova’s crisp, star-like signature offer an unusual opportunity to illustrate the layered nature of astrophotography, where phenomena from vastly different scales and distances appear in the same field of view.

This contrast could serve as a powerful visual hook to discuss several concepts:

- The difference between galactic and solar system scales

- Stellar death and supernova classification

- Asteroid tracking and movement detection

- Galaxy morphology in flocculent spirals

The title Afterlight was chosen as a poetic reference to the lingering light of a star after its death, captured here as Supernova SN 2024aecx. It symbolises the final brilliance a star emits before fading, and serves as a visual metaphor for the fleeting, yet impactful, echoes of cosmic events.

Giant Petrel Killing Juvenile King Penguin By Marius Coetzee by ORYX Photography

195 16

‘Live and let live’ is definitely NOT an overriding motto of the natural world. Instead, the prevailing rule is more like ‘eat or be eaten’, which is why scenes such as this are an all day, every day, eternal norm as opposed to the exception. ORYX leader Marius Coetzee captured this deeply moving image of a Giant Petrel killing a juvenile King Penguin while on a photographic cruise in Antarctica.

Season of Dreams 139/365 by Mardi Linane

the seasons

quietly absorb

the days of life

colors fade

wind stripped bare

one afternoon

leaves forced in

a pile against a wall

in the yard

seemingly relentless

until it is

no longer

and buds of

the next life

face the winds

of next year

St.Pauls Cathedral, London by Rajeev Peeka

8 12

The present St Paul's is the fifth cathedral to have stood on the site since 604, and was built between 1675 and 1710, after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. This was the first cathedral to be built after the English Reformation in the sixteenth century, when Henry VIII removed the Church of England from the jurisdiction of the Pope and the Crown took control of the Church's life.
