My second image of the fantastic solar storm from just over a week ago, March 23, 2023. During this capture the lights were dancing all over the north sky and even shooting straight overhead. Possibly the craziest aurora I’ve ever witnessed. During the next couple years we’ll be reaching what’s called “Solar Maximum” so displays like this may become even more common. Fingers crossed !
Location: Minesing, Ontario, Canada
The lights flash and change color!! I bought them on the WISH app. Love all my solar lights and lanterns from them!!
As I was finishing up some older imagery from last year's solar eclipse I stumbled upon the Baily Bead sequence that I made just before and after totality. A few months after the first processing I had made quite some progress in the details I got out and decided to redo some of the work. This resulted in this image of the Earthshine on the moon taken during totality together with the corona and the sequence of the Baily beads. I personally really like this image

Porsche 917K #917-022
This car was bought new in 1970 by Solar Productions (Steve McQueen's production company) in order to be driven by McQueen in some scenes of the movie "Le Mans" in the iconic Gulf colors and #20 number, just as the Jo Siffert / Brian Redman car.
After the film it was raced for a short period of time before being owned by Brian Redman, Richard Attwood. It is now part of the Jerry Seinfeld collection.

Of course, everyone knows snowmen ... and snowwomen and snowkids ... hate the sun. With very good reason of course. :-) So they have to employ a Solar Early Warning system. Today that job fell to this happy fellow. Happy because the sun is nowhere in sight ... and won't be for the foreseeable future. (That's a double stacked 70mm SolarMax III with a 15mm blocking filter he has there on a Celestron CGX-L mount)
Overnight and today we received 15-20 centimeters (6-8 inches) of snow and one of the websites I monitor predicts another 8.9 centimeters for Friday and another 8.5 centimeters for next Monday. At times like these, I definitely think I might have picked the wrong hobby.
It's been quite a while since I made a snowman. But you're never too old to have fun, I guess. Today, it just seemed appropriate somehow. In these troubling times, I hope it gives a little smile to anyone who sees it. (And I wanted to give the robins that have come back from down south a little break ... by uncovering some of the snow covered grass where I rolled the snow. I'm pretty sure they will appreciate it).
(Dedicated to the memory of one of the world's greatest singer/songwriters ... John Prine) Perhaps you've heard his song Humidity Built The Snowman.
This is a composite image of all the seperate images I took during the recent solar eclipse on March 20th 2015. These were taken from The Lough in Cork. I opened all the images in photoshop and aligned them in a sequence so you could see how it progressed. Originally I did this with more "under-exposed" images that just showed the eclipse, but when I imported these shots that were a little "over-exposed" I thought the detail in the clouds that came with them looked really cool so I left it in. This was not faked in any way.The only use of photoshop was to align the exposures in the sequence you see.

I love the way the solar lights reflect on the sidewalk around my herb garden.
Extreme overexposure on FP4. This was shot at f/16 for either two or four seconds. I've done this with a pinhole camera, but never with a real lens.
I used photoshop to bring out contrasts and get rid of a couple of dust specks, but the solarization effect is real.
Next time, I'm going to try cutting the normal development time in half.
Another bright solar halo yesterday (13.02.2018) over Athens.

Today's partial solar eclipse (this was maximum occultation from my location) in Hydrogen Alpha narrowband.
After a clear blue sky, clouds started coming in in the afternoon sky. We had solar halos for hours.
Stopped briefly on Minchinhampton Common to take this on my way to work, and managed to glimpse the sun through the misty clouds.
This artist's concept puts solar system distances in perspective. The scale bar is in astronomical units, with each set distance beyond 1 AU representing 10 times the previous distance. One AU is the distance from the sun to the Earth, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. Neptune, the most distant planet from the sun, is about 30 AU.
Informally, the term "solar system" is often used to mean the space out to the last planet. Scientific consensus, however, says the solar system goes out to the Oort Cloud, the source of the comets that swing by our sun on long time scales. Beyond the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, the gravity of other stars begins to dominate that of the sun.
The inner edge of the main part of the Oort Cloud could be as close as 1,000 AU from our sun. The outer edge is estimated to be around 100,000 AU.
NASA's Voyager 1, humankind's most distant spacecraft, is around 125 AU. Scientists believe it entered interstellar space, or the space between stars, on Aug. 25, 2012. Much of interstellar space is actually inside our solar system. It will take about 300 years for Voyager 1 to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud and possibly about 30,000 years to fly beyond it.
Alpha Centauri is currently the closest star to our solar system. But, in 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will be closer to the star AC +79 3888 than to our own sun. AC +79 3888 is actually traveling faster toward Voyager 1 than the spacecraft is traveling toward it.
The Voyager spacecraft were built and continue to be operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, Calif. Caltech manages JPL for NASA. The Voyager missions are a part of NASA's Heliophysics System Observatory, sponsored by the Heliophysics Division of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Shot w/ Skywatcher 80ED Pro (.85X reducer), Nikon D7500 & Spectrum solar filter on Skywatcher EQM-35. 2400 total frames shot over 90 seconds. Stacked in PIPP & AS!3, post-processed in Photoshop.
The colossal solar-powered supertrees are found in the Bay South garden: it is part of a 250-acre landscaping project -- Gardens by the Bay -- that is an initiative from Singapore's National Parks Board that sees the cultivation of flora and fauna from foreign lands.
Our first sight of the eclipse as the sun peeked thru the clouds. We are to see 92% from middle Tennessee.
A macro shot of small solar cells on my pocket calculator. I guess that the dust gives a feeling for the size of the visible part of the solar cells.
Captured with my iPhone 8 and the "Black Eye" macro lens.
Thank you for viewing, commenting and / or adding this photo to your favorites. It's very much appreciated.
Solar Coaster.
Solar Coaster was do just that in the November winds that had come ashore at Port Macquarie.
The sometimes strong winds provided the perfect conditions for sailors to take their yachts and spread their sails on the waters of the Hastings River.
