There is never a shortage of beautiful flowering plants to photograph on the grounds of the temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a close-up of some of the summer flowers at the St. Louis Missouri Temple. The temple, every bit as beautiful as its flowers, is a prominent landmark in the city of Town and Country, a suburb of St. Louis, about 10 miles west of the city center, adjacent to Interstate 64, two miles west of the interchange of I-270.

Tonight the summit of Mauna Kea was cloaked in clouds, and none of the telescopes could observe. There were intermittent snow showers, and the road was closed to the public. After sitting around and doing nothing for most of the night, however, the clouds finally cleared, and we were able to open the telescope and observe for a couple hours. I walked over to the Submillimeter Array and set up a camera to shoot timelapse--this is one of the resulting still frames. A meteor conveniently graced the skies between the dishes.

This spectacular Picture of the Week was produced from data gathered by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, combined with data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It shows a cluster of stars named Westerlund 1, one of the most massive young star clusters known to reside in the Milky Way. Excitingly, it also shows the comet-like “tails” of material stretching away from some of the giant stars in Westerlund 1. Such tails are formed in the thick, relentless winds that pour from the cluster’s stellar residents, carrying material outwards. This phenomenon is similar to how comets get their famous and beautiful tails. Comet tails in the Solar System are driven away from the nucleus of their parent comet by a wind of particles that streams out from the Sun. Consequently comet tails always point away from our Sun. Similarly, the tails of the huge red stars shown in this image point away from the core of the cluster, likely the result of powerful cluster winds generated by the hundreds of hot and massive stars found towards the centre of Westerlund 1. These massive structures cover large distances and indicate the dramatic effect the environment can have on how the stars form and evolve. These comet-like tails were detected during an ALMA study of Westerlund 1 that aimed to explore the cluster’s constituent stars and figure out how, and at what rate, they lose their mass. The cluster is known to host a large amount of massive stars, many of them intriguing and rare types, making it of great interest and use to astronomers wishing to understand the myriad stars in our galaxy.

The Duga 3 radar array in the abandoned Chernobyl zone. It is 150 m tall and wide as hell. It was designed to detect nuclear ballistic missiles and planes from the US.
I spent two days there. It was awesome. Abandoned for 31 years.

Have you ever driven down a long country road and saw something that just made you do a double, triple, quadruple take, compelling you to turn the car around, go a few miles off your path, just to say... "what. am. I. looking. at.?"
This happened on my way back from New Mexico last week. I saw these weird "sculptures" on the plain; whipped by wind, and in the middle of essentially, nowhere. I had to go closer to see. And still could not figure out what these were. I did take note that this would be a fabulous dark-sky location with crazy foregounds.
Turns out, it's a failed (or fraudulent) solar energy experiment. So weird! www.deseret.com/2018/6/22/20647633/utah-solar-lens-scheme...
