One of a series, this ultraviolet image of Saturn was taken when the planet's rings were at their maximum tilt of 27 degrees toward Earth. Saturn experiences seasonal tilts away from and toward the sun, much the same way Earth does. This happens over the course of its 29.5-year orbit. Every 30 years, Earth observers can catch their best glimpse of Saturn's South Pole and the southern side of the planet's rings.
Between March and April 2003, researchers took full advantage to study the gas giant at maximum tilt, using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to capture detailed images of Saturn's Southern Hemisphere and the southern face of its rings.

First Kernow's 37724 YJ09 OBV is seen leaving Camborne Bus Station working a T1 towards Penzance, the first vehicle in Cornwall to have ultraviolet paint but wasn't the first to enter service in Ultraviolet as it spent a bit of its life in cornwall starting VOR!
Yellowstone National Park, WY.
Chronochromic image, RGB order, irregular intervals. Converted camera, Asahi 35mm lens, Baader U2 filter.
This image… is not ordinary. It’s far from it. View it large and read the description if you have a moment to enjoy this jumping spider stalking prey on this orchid shot in ultraviolet fluorescence.
First off, I need to state that this is a staged image. I found the spider in my car while heading home from the hardware store (broke a shovel trying to remove a stump), and trapped it under a bottle cap. Sliding a piece of paper underneath for easy transport, I put the creature in a jar for a little adventure. We have a small aphid infestation on some of our seedlings and I’ve just let this little creature go to have a feast.
The Yellow Lady Slipper Orchid was found in our gardens – we have both the yellow and pink varieties here, with thanks to the previous home owner for sourcing them and planting them in our yard – such a wonderful surprise to see these beauties! And to further the surprise, they glow in UV light. The stem and leaves glow a deep red, while the flower itself is a light yellow. I almost never cut one of the orchids, but this captive spider made an exception. Shot in studio, one of my classroom tables is the dark blue background you see.
Jumping spiders are fast and uncooperative creatures; I’ve learned this from previous interactions, so I knew that I needed to have everything set beforehand, perfect exposure, focus and framing, before adding in the spider. I cooled him down a little in the freezer, paying very specific attention to timing. I wanted this little guy to be sluggish enough to be placed on the flower and soon became quite active. I guided him into this position with a strip of cardboard, and he (or she?) stayed posed for about a second or two. The pose is exactly what I was hoping for, to create a fantasy narrative: Peering into the negative space, waiting for an insect to arrive at the pot of gold to enjoy the treasure, then to be ambushed.
I feel an absolute need to share a visible-light version of this image as well, so that you can see the difference between UV and “ordinary” light: donkom.ca/bts/DKP_9631.jpg - there is such a shift in colour, light and details that I appreciate as an explorer of the natural world. The flower behaves very interestingly, and the spider’s eyes glow brightly. Many insects have parts that fluoresce, and I had some previous hints that eyes would glow as well. This little spider didn’t disappoint!
I don’t stage things this heavily very often. This was a highly orchestrated shot that took a few hours to produce, and dealing with the personality of a jumping spider isn’t always easy. I make no claims that this is a “natural” image, though I assume such a spider would find this vantage point to be quite beneficial. Even still, this alternate reality is a fascinating one, and I’m glad I was able to capture it.
(If anyone is curious and sceptical of this image, I’d be happy to share with you the RAW file. The colours and brightness have been enhanced slightly, and some dust has been removed, but the image is a true depiction of what was in front of the camera. That’s the magic of it!)
Curious to see our award-winning gardens in person? I host full-day macro photography workshops here, they’ll be well worth your time! Register here, with dates still available in July and August: www.donkom.ca/workshops/
Seen in Alexandra Parade is FirstGroup's Alexander Dennis EV400 electric double decker seed vehicle 38600 - FB74ZEB running late on service 38B to Barlanark.
Seen in Larbert, just leaving the Alexander Dennis factory is Alexander Dennis Enviro 400EV 38600 - FB74ZEB. Classed as an ADL "seed" vehicle, it is one of many being distributed to the major groups to try and garner some orders for their new electric vehicle. Wearing FirstGroup's new "Ultraviolet" livery.

"Be a sun amongst planets.
In a world divided by colour. Be ultraviolet". – Rose Hummingbird; 'Radiate'.
"The scale of light can be described by numbers called the frequency and as the numbers get higher, the light goes from red to blue to ultraviolet. We can't see ultraviolet light, but it can affect photographic plates. It's still light only the number is different". – Richard P. Feynman; “QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter”, p.13, Princeton University Press

Seen in Aberdeen repainted into FirstGroup's Ultraviolet livery is Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B9TL 37459 - MX58EAY which has started it's career with First Manchester.
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the planet Jupiter in a color composite of ultraviolet wavelengths.
The Great Red Spot appears red to the human eye, however in this ultraviolet image it appears darker because high altitude haze particles absorb light at these wavelengths. The reddish, wavy polar hazes are absorbing slightly less of this light due to differences in either particle size, composition, or altitude.
The data used to create this ultraviolet image is part of a Hubble proposal that looked at Jupiter’s stealthy superstorm system.
Hubble has a long history of observing the outer planets. From the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacts to studying Jupiter's storms, Hubble's decades-long career and unique vantage point provide astronomers with valuable data to chart the evolution of this dynamic planet.
Hubble’s ultraviolet-observing capabilities allow astronomers to study the short, high-energy wavelengths of light beyond what the human eye can see. Ultraviolet light reveals fascinating cosmic phenomena, including light from the hottest and youngest stars embedded in local galaxies; the composition, densities, and temperatures of the material between stars; and the evolution of galaxies.
This is a false-color image because the human eye cannot detect ultraviolet light. Therefore, colors in the visible light spectrum were assigned to the images, each taken with a different ultraviolet filter. In this case, the assigned colors for each filter are: Blue: F225W, Green: F275W, and Red: F343N.

Whenever conditions have relented I have tried to capture images of the clouds on Venus while it is so high and close in our skies at the moment, a rare combination of events in the Northern hemisphere. This latest set shows the progression from 26th February to 8th March, with the lit portion of Venus dropping from 64.1% to 59.3% and its size increasing from 18.28 arc seconds across to 20.05 arc seconds in 12 days.
The clouds can only be picked out by using ultraviolet filters designed to pick out the best light frequences that show up clouds on Venus and by avoiding any additional optical glass between the telescope and the mono camera capturing the image. (By using a mono camera I can increase the sensitivity, allowing me to run at as fast a frame rate as possible to maximise the chances of catching any good 'seeing'. In this case at 200 frames per second and about two-thirds of the available gain on the camera.) All three images are a 30% selection of the best of tens of thousands of video images captured over a short period of time then stacked and sharpened to bring out the detail.
