It is said that Alkanet derives from the Arabic word for Henna, and that the plant and its relatives were used for dyeing textiles. Not as you might expect from the Heavenly Blue flowers, but rather from the root. It seems that this radical extract is used for purples and blues if it's made alkaline, browns and reds if acidified.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think our insect probing the white heart of Green Alkanet is a male Red - or maybe even: Henna - Mason Bee, Osmia rufa; distinguishing marks are the long antennae and the white facial hair. But no doubt I'll be corrected by a Flickr Friend if I'm wrong...
Probe droids (also known as probots or recon droids) were droids that were specifically designed and programmed to perform reconnaissance duties. These units were often dispatched by various space navies to gather information from a variety of different locations, reporting anything of significance as defined by specific preprogrammed protocols.
The Probe Droid is one of my favorite droids in Star Wars.
After getting one in the small Hoth set from last year, I modified it and was inspired by others' versions and now I have a more accurate version that I am happy with.
For now..
Anyway I hope you all like it.
May the Force Be with You! :)
Monarch on Mexican sunflower. Looks brand spanking new, compared to the older one.
Bravo to the UK for a magnificent opening of the Olympics! It was truly spectacular! The final lighting of the torch was absolutely thrilling. I'm so excited for you all.
On June 30, 2001, the Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) spacecraft launched on a Boeing Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral. The probe measured small fluctuations in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and created the most accurate full-sky map of the CMB. In 2003 it was renamed the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) in honor of cosmologist David Todd Wilkinson, a member of the mission science team. Carrying on the Nobel Prize winning work of the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), WMAP data has played a critical role in establishing the current standard model of cosmology. The WMAP mission team won the 2012 Gruber Cosmology Prize and the 2018 Breakthrough Prize. Designed for a 27 month mission, WMAP was decommissioned in October 2010 after nine years of operation.

After the assault on Hoth the Imperial probe droids were known to steal blasters from the Snowtroopers and start firing around randomly. Repairing the malfunctioning probe droids was a risky job.
There is a theory that suggests a band of rebels reprogrammed the probes to do this, but this has not been confirmed to be true.
we've used telemetry to plot ascent profile, very shallow as rocket thought it was at 60km when it was only at 6km. Although this may look like a normal launch arc, reference photo used is way too close to pad to normally see the top of the arc
Hey guys!
We've just updated our currently available catalog of houses and skyboxes to include probes (for compatibility with PBR products).
Note: this is not a PBR update.
Updating to this version is optional and the updates will not be sent out automatically. You will have to redeliver your purchase.
This update introduces two separately packaged versions of your house/skybox. A version that's specifically tailored for PBR viewers and the trusty regular non-PBR viewer version.
Both can be found in the main box with a short ReadMe explaining the differences and quirks (please read the ReadMe notecards because probes are finicky to say the least).
Your house/skybox remains and looks the same.
Probes are important for PBR products to display correctly. If you've been buying a lot of PBR furniture/decor or clothing, you'll want to update your house/skybox and use the version with the probes. It'll make products with PBR materials reflect the interior correctly
Enjoy!
Santa got me a Black Series Probe droid this year! Here she is on the display base. Gotta fix that ugly cut on the arch.
Just a glimpse of this one. Last passed a MOT in 2009, although tested in 2012 but failed on rust. Presumably someone has some plans for this for it to still be around 4 and a half years later.
