# An engagingly fascinating intersection of the fields of Auroral/Atmospheric research and history studies of WWII.
IOGraph Plot shows my pointer's activity on my Mac's computer screen during 10.4 hours from 15:53 May 11th to 10:52 May 12th.
Sorry I haven't been on Flickr much...;)) I have been very busy with Arizona Ballet Theatre Photography! Also, I am keeping physically active by working in the garden. It is strenuous and healthy exercise.

I don't think northern lights are visible in Tucson, Arizona.
A gaseous canyon has opened up in the sun's atmosphere, and it is spewing solar wind toward Earth. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is monitoring the structure, shown here in an extreme ultraviolet image taken on March 25th:
This is a canyon-shaped example of a coronal hole--a place in the sun's atmosphere where the magnetic field spreads apart and allows solar wind to escape. In the false-color image, above, the coronal hole is colored deep-blue, while the flow of solar wind is indicated by white arrows.
A stream of solar wind flowing from the canyon should reach Earth on March 28-29. There's a good chance its arrival will bring auroras. The reason is, the stream will be preceded by a co-rotating interaction region or "CIR." CIRs are transition zones between slow- and fast-moving solar wind streams. Solar wind plasma piles up in these regions, producing density gradients and shock waves that do a good job of sparking Northern Lights.

The gist of it is 'You're a long way from everywhere, and try not to get eaten by a polar bear.'

6 of the small number of people buried here died in the 1914 flu epidemic. No one has been buried here in 70 years since it was discovered the bodies just freeze and stay like that without decomposing. Hence why it's 'illegal' to die here.

This is a photo of the white board in our office. It helps us brainstorm on our research work... it's a little messy!
This is an artistic view (sketch) of structures (solar magnetic field lines) emerging from the Sun's surface and extending far beyond the Solar Corona. We can see also a mighty spacecraft approaching the corona to provide in-situ measurements of the solar wind plasma at such close distances from the Sun.
The Night Arizona Blushed: A Red Aurora Beneath the Desert Sky
It was after dinner, around 6:20 PM, when my husband softly said, “Honey, someone in St. David saw the aurora.” I stepped outside, camera in hand — and there it was… a crimson veil glimmering above the desert horizon. As clouds drifted in, they blurred the stars and bloomed their light, yet the magic lingered. I pressed the shutter and caught the sky’s rare blush.
This red Aurora Borealis occurs when high-altitude oxygen atoms, more than 200 kilometers above Earth, are struck by solar particles, releasing a deep scarlet glow instead of the usual green. For a brief, wondrous night, Southeastern Arizona wore the colors of the Arctic sky — a celestial whisper from the Sun to the desert below.
Inside the diffuser section of the16-foot supersonic wind tunnel at Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee. Air that has been pushed through the section seen has passed through progressively narrowing tunnel sections and 90-degree turns that lead to the test section. The PWT test section is as tall as a two-story house and as heavy as a railroad locomotive. The inside of the test section is 16' tall. They are positioned just behind a 40 feet long variable venturi, side walls that have hydraulic pistons to push the two flexible 16 foot tall by 40 foot long wall toward each other or apart to adjust the air speed and maintain smooth air flow into the test section. The facility is devoted to aerodynamic and propulsion integration testing of large-scale aircraft models.
