After a massive star exploded, it left behind this supernova remnant observed by Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope. The Chandra data (red, green and blue) show multimillion-degree gas and the blast wave from the supernova. The light brown region in the upper right of the remnant is a dense cloud of gas and dust that reflects optical light detected by Hubble.
This image is part of a collection of archiveed images made by “astronomy artist” Judy Schmidt, to help recognize #ArchivesMonth. All of the objects in this new archive collection are located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, which is a small satellite galaxy to Milky Way.
This year, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory celebrates its 20th year in space exploring the extreme universe.

Its a testament to persistence. I live about 45 minutes from this viewpoint, Jonsrud Viewpoint, near Sandy Oregon. Because this is fairly close, and so cool looking, an image form here has been on my list for a long time. And I go, often. Every time a strikeout. This is the first image I have ever posted from here. I have been there about 6 times, and I finally walked away with an image I liked.
This is a tough spot to shoot. It has great fog in the valley in the morning, but sunrises back-lite Mt. Hood. You can shoot a sunset, but then you don't get the fog. You can see this in many of the mages people post from here. They have fog, and good color in the sky, and then they wash out Hood in the processing and it looks horrible. You just can't get it all when you shoot from here unless you let your tripod sit there all day and shoot both. However, then creeps in the third issue. Clouds. If you live in Portland you know, Hood is a cloud magnet. If you want a sunrise with clouds to catch the color, then you often (99.999 percent of the time) loose Hood in those clouds. If you see Hood, you usually have no clouds. To get hood with clouds around her but not obscuring her, you need patience, and tons of it.
So in this image, I opted for the fog. Clouds came in about 10 minutes after I shot this, but they swallowed Hood. Sigh. Not an easy place to shoot.
The last challenge, the right tripod location. You have to get here early to get the primo tripod spot. Here, I had to show up 1.5 hours before sunrise and wait there, to steak out my spot. When I walked away there was about 12 photographers there. I can't imagine how many there would be if the conditions were even more ideal.
So my hat is off to anyone who got the great trifecta- detail on Hood, colored clouds in the sky and fog in the valley. Its a near impossible feat.
The island of Incahuasi, in the center of the Salar of Uyuni, populated by a multitude of cactus, is the ideal place for an overview of this vast salt desert.

Andalusia is located in southern Spain and covers an area of 8 provinces. Andalusia is the second largest autonomous region in Spain. Beautiful Andalucía, the land of olives, oranges, sunflowers, beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, nice white mountain villages with beautiful squares, is a bridge between two continents, Africa and Europe, and is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. There is something for everyone in Andalusia, from culture to beautiful terraces, sights, long beaches, beautiful inland areas with beautiful reservoirs, mountains and nice villages to visit. Málaga is second-most populous city of Andalusia. Known to many as the capital of the Costa del Sol, Málaga is more than a seaside city. Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe. It was founded about 770 BC by the Phoenicians as Malaka. The archaeological remains and monuments from the Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian eras make the historic center of the city an "open museum", displaying its history of nearly 3,000 years. With powerful walls visible from almost anywhere in the city, Málaga’s Alcazaba is a Moorish fortress palace and valuable monument from the Islamic era. Just down the hill, beyond the outer walls of the Alcazaba is a Roman Theatre the best ancient monument in the city.
Málaga is one of the oldest cities in Spain and hallmarks of its rich past are scattered across Malaga: the cobbled streets of the old quarter, its mountainside Roman Amphitheatre, the Moorish citadels of the Alcazaba and Gilfarbaro. And even once the sight-seeing is done, there’s still a city full of rooftop bars, gleaming boutique stores and nearby beaches to explore. At our first roundabout of Málaga we have such a nice vista all around town. The fountain of the Three Graces in the centre of the roundabout and the Moorish fortress Alcazaba and Jardines de Pedro Luis Alonso on the background. The roundabout constitutes an important axis where the Park promenade, port of Malaga meet the Alcazaba tunnel.
Andalusië ligt in zuid Spanje en beslaat een gebied van 8 provincies. Andalusië de op één na grootste autonome regio in Spanje en meer dan twee keer zo groot als Nederland. Het mooie Andalusië, het land van de olijven, sinaasappels, zonnebloemen, mooie bergketens en valleien, leuke witte bergdorpen met mooie pleintjes, is een brug tussen twee continenten, Afrika en Europa, en is het punt waar de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee elkaar ontmoeten. Er is voor elk wat wils in Andalusië, van cultuur tot mooie terrasjes, bezienswaardigheden, lange stranden, prachtige binnenlanden met mooie stuwmeren, bergen en leuke dorpen om te bezoeken. Málaga is de tweede meest bevolkte stad van Andalusië. Málaga is bij velen bekend als de hoofdstad van de Costa del Sol en is meer dan een stad aan zee. De geschiedenis van Málaga beslaat ongeveer 2.800 jaar en is daarmee een van de oudste steden van Europa. Het werd gesticht rond 770 voor Christus door de Feniciërs als Malaka. De archeologische overblijfselen en monumenten uit de Fenicische, Romeinse, Arabische en christelijke tijdperken maken van het historische centrum van de stad een "open museum", met een geschiedenis van bijna 3000 jaar. Met dikke muren zichtbaar vanuit bijna overal in de stad, is Alcazaba Alcazaba een Moors vestingpaleis en een waardevol monument uit de islamitische tijd. Net de heuvel af, voorbij de buitenmuren van het Alcazaba, is een Romeins theater het beste oude monument in de stad. Bij de eerste rotonde in Málaga hebben we zo'n mooi uitzicht over de hele stad. De fontein van de drie nimfen in het midden van de rotonde en het Moorse fort Alcazaba op de achtergrond.

This guy was taking off from Pennington Flash and was struggling to straighten up and looking as though he was caught in a crosswind…Lol
Well folks, I’m slowly coming back on Flickr after a long absence due to ill health, but I’m slowly getting stronger and looking forward to seeing your images and sharing a few of my own once again :-}

Elephants are my favorite animals! I went out on a boat along a river in the Okavango Delta and saw this family out having some water after a long walk. This is the time of year that all the animals come to the same location as the water dries up. Did you know that a group of elephants is called a "memory of Elephants"? Great name, eh? Who comes up with these things? Maybe elephants.
Яркое, динамичное, красивое зрелище!
Взлёт корабля сопровождала вспышка при отделении одной из ступеней ракеты-носителя (см.на фото по ссылке astronomy.ru/forum/MGalleryItem.php?id=13417).
"Медуза" (след от выбрасываемых двигателями ракеты-носителя газов, подсвеченных лучами солнца из-за горизонта) была огромной, отлично заметной на уже тёмном небе.
Некоторое время полёт корабля сопровождали три отброшенных элемента (ступеней) ракеты-носителя.
Появление корабля в Омском небе предвосхитил полёт Международной космической станции (МКС "Заря"). См. доп. фото по ссылке astronomy.ru/forum/MGalleryItem.php?id=13420
Всё действие происходило вокруг достаточно яркого Сатурна на пике его прохождения по небосклону. Но "медуза" в этот раз была способна затмить самую яркую звезду и, даже, кажется, Луну, если бы она посмела конкурировать с ней в одном кадре ;-)

Официальная информация о старте (краткий пересказ по материалам www.roscosmos.ru/26853/):
С космодрома Байконур 25 сентября 2019 года в 19:57:42 (Omsk) стартовала ракета-носитель "Союз-ФГ" (такие ракеты-носители оставляют в небе в косых лучах солнца заметную "медузу").
Ракета-носитель с пилотируемым кораблём "Союз МС-15". Все этапы полёта прошли в штатном режиме. В 20:06:31 (Omsk) корабль отделился от третьей ступени носителя на целевой орбите.
Экипаж пилотируемого корабля: Олег Скрипочка (командир), Джессика Меир (бортинженер-1) и Хаззаа Аль Мансури (бортинженер-2). Позывной экипажа - "Сарматы".
Сближение корабля "Союз МС-15" с МКС и причаливание к стыковочному узлу планируется проводить в автоматическом режиме. Стыковка запланирована примерно через 6 часов после старта, 26.09.2019 01:45 (Omsk).
На борту корабля находятся 180 кг груза для МКС и её экипажей.
Это - последний пуск ракеты-носителя "Союз-ФГ" с "Гагаринского старта". Далее площадка N1 будет модернизирована для пусков ракет-носителей семейства "Союз-2".

A great stop in western Mass is Teo's in Pittsfield, for their little hot dogs with chili sauce and a solid hamburger. Love the history and vibe of this place - I'll support a Teo's every day of the week and twice on Sunday over a chain restaurant when I'm on the road.
