"The Baptists of Newcastle worshipped on Tuthill Stairs during the C18 and C19. Their first meeting place was a half-timbered Elizabethan house on the stairs, which they acquired about
1723. In 1798 they moved into a new purpose-built chapel just above their old house. With the general industrialisation of the area in the 19th century, the Baptists moved again, in 1853, to another new chapel in Bewick Street. The congregation of Westgate Road Baptist Church claim lineal descent from Bewick Street and Tuthill Stairs." Newastle City Guides

look at the leaves of the tree, it was blowing hard the whole day.....
This the whole setup in action. Right in the middle of the totality. I'm adjusting the centering using the TV monitor.
The base is a home made wood platform that was spiked into the sand. A wedge section supported by threaded rods was aligned perpendicular to the Earth's axis of rotation (an equatorial mount). A 12VDC powered Celestron C-90 mount was attached to that. The mount rotated at a speed matching the sun's (1 rotation/day). A home made bracket attached the Panasonic PV-535 VHS camcorder to the mount. A Sigma VT5 telephoto converter was attached to the front of the camera to get a frame sized image of the sun and eclipse. Finally, a filter made of Roger W. Tuthill's Solar Skreen optical Mylar was put over the lens to capture the entry and exit phases. A small TV was used to view the image being captured. A reticle with circles on it was added to the TV to aid in centering the sun's image.
“This spectacular event is the death of a star,” said study team member James Lloyd of Cornell University.
Tuthill and Lloyd spotted the Red Square using the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory and the Keck-2 Telescope in Hawaii.

A “census” of Wyoming’s lichens is now online and accessible through the species list tool of the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD) at the University of Wyoming.
“Wyoming has a bounty of 860 lichen species, a workforce of soil-binding, rock-hugging and tree-trimming organisms,” says Bonnie Heidel, WYNDD’s lead botanist. “The addition of lichens to the species list tool is a major stride in representing Wyoming’s flora and fauna.”
The species list tool, which went live in late 2020, may be found at wyndd.org/species_list/.
The Wyoming lichens list is based on the 2013 “Preliminary Checklist of Lichens Reported from Wyoming,” written by UW Biodiversity Institute Associate Director Dorothy Tuthill, plus additional taxa represented in North American herbaria and accessed through the Consortium of North American Lichen Herbaria online search portal.
Lichens are pervasive across Wyoming. From the driest basins to the Rocky Mountain peaks, lichens inhabit the surfaces of soils, rocks and wood. They play significant roles in biogeochemical cycling, weathering and soil stabilization, and they contribute to above-ground productive biomass and biodiversity, especially in dry and cold climates. Lichens serve as an important or occasional source of forage for several Wyoming game animals -- including pronghorn, moose, elk and bighorn sheep -- nongame mammals and birds, and a variety of invertebrates.
