Winslow Homer (1836–1910) is regarded as one of the greatest American painters of the 19th century. Homer utilized both oil and watercolor in depicting 19th century American Sea and landscapes and the daily life's of those who inhabited it. He was sent to work as an artist-correspondent for the new popular illustrated journal Harper’s Weekly in 1861. We have digitally enhanced many of his beautful artworks including “the Gulf Stream”, “Croquet Scene”, “Northeaster” and many more. They are all free to download and enjoy under the CC0 license.

The forecast for Jupiter is for stormy weather at low northern latitudes. A prominent string of alternating storms is visible, forming a ‘vortex street’ as some planetary astronomers call it. This is a wave pattern of nested cyclones and anticyclones, locked together like the alternating gears of a machine moving clockwise and counterclockwise. If the storms get close enough to each other and merge together, they could build an even larger storm, potentially rivalling the current size of the Great Red Spot. The staggered pattern of cyclones and anticyclones prevents individual storms from merging. Activity is also seen interior to these storms; in the 1990s Hubble didn’t see any cyclones or anticyclones with built-in thunderstorms, but these storms have sprung up in the last decade. Strong colour differences indicate that Hubble is seeing different cloud heights and depths as well.

 

The orange moon Io photobombs this view of Jupiter’s multicoloured cloud tops, casting a shadow toward the planet’s western limb. Hubble’s resolution is so sharp that it can see Io’s mottled-orange appearance, the result of its numerous active volcanoes. These volcanoes were first discovered when the Voyager 1 spacecraft flew by in 1979. The moon’s molten interior is overlaid by a thin crust through which the volcanoes eject material. Sulphur takes on various hues at different temperatures, which is why Io’s surface is so colourful. This photo was taken on 12 November 2022.

Puerto Rican for lunch

The Cask Widge is a weighted float tube and apparatus that combines the functions of a keystone tap and a venting peg. It can be used where space is at a premium and when a cask cannot be stored and/or served horizontally. The device allows beer to be pulled from a cask that is being stored vertically. The Cask Widge is also useful at outdoor festivals, to keep a cask cool when serving via handpump.

 

***************

▶ Pictured:

The cask widge tubing (24.5 inches) is inserted through the tap, weighted end (another 2.5 inches) first. The weight will hold the tube suspended within the cask about 8 inches under the top level of the beer. The weight will sink as the beer is pulled, unfurling the tubing until it is fully extended reaching the bottom of the nearly emptied cask. Just above the weight is the intake port in the tubing. It is covered by mesh to prevent ingress of cold break (protein sludge), yeast, or hops. [The short tube to the right is in the CO2 venting & air ingress tube. which on a horizontally placed cask would be the separate shive bung and tut.]

This is my room key in Tokyo. I think it's awesome that it's a real key and not a plastic card.

This vibrant spiral galaxy and the subject of today’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week is NGC 5042, which resides about 48 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Hydra (the water snake). The galaxy nicely fills the frame of this Hubble image, with a single Milky Way star marked by cross-shaped diffraction spikes attempting to blend in with the bright stars along the galaxy’s edge.

 

Hubble observed NGC 5042 in six wavelength bands from the ultraviolet to the infrared to create this multicoloured portrait. The galaxy’s cream-coloured centre is packed with ancient stars, and the galaxy’s spiral arms are decorated with patches of young blue stars. The elongated yellow-orange objects that are scattered around the image are background galaxies far more distant than NGC 5042.

 

Perhaps NGC 5042’s most striking feature is its collection of brilliant pink gas clouds that are studded throughout its spiral arms. These flashy clouds are called H II (pronounced “H-two”) regions, and they get their distinctive colour from hydrogen atoms that have been ionised by ultraviolet light. If you look closely at this image, you’ll see that many of these reddish clouds are associated with clumps of blue stars, often appearing to form a shell around the stars.

 

H II regions arise in expansive clouds of hydrogen gas, and only hot and massive stars produce enough high-energy light to create an H II region. Because the stars capable of creating H II regions only live for a few million years — just a blink of an eye in galactic terms — this image represents a fleeting snapshot of life in this galaxy.

 

[Image Description: A spiral galaxy. It’s noticeably bright around the central region of its disc, then dims somewhat out to the edge where there are fewer stars. Two spiral arms circle through the disc and emerge beyond its edge, around the galaxy’s sides. Many pink spots of new star formation, as well as dark reddish strands of dust, cover the galaxy. The arms contain some speckled, blue patches containing hot stars.]

We don't get cardinals like these in California. This shot is from Louisiana. It's a female. Sadly, I didn't catch one of the colorful males.

1966 by Jess (American, 1923-2004)

 

Born Burgess Collins, Jess had worked as an engineer on the Manhattan Project. This multimedia work is part of "Plugged In: Art and Electric Light" currently at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. My wife and I went there this past Friday for a mental health break while we are not able to return to our home in Altadena due to the Eaton Fire.

 

A Northern Cardinal on Avery Island, Louisiana, near dusk, hence the very soft focus. They must have been the models for angry birds, right?

A little rain cleans the streets, and heaven knows, they need cleaning. You can probably tell which corner of SF I work by the repeat pictures I take.

I am definitely a sourdough bore these days!

 

This one today was particularly good though.

 

So posting one more sour dough picture ...last for a while I promise

 

This one was:

 

50% white 50 % coarse wholemeal

lots of nuts: pecan and walnut - pulverised

and sunflower hearts and black sesame seeds

...& a good glug of olive oil too

Playing around yesterday evening, using tree ornaments as prisms.

Camped out for an hour or so, looking for the albino jackrabbit once more. It turned up. It has two buddies which would have been much easier to photograph, I wonder does it sense that it contrasts more with its surroundings, it's so much more nervous, last to step forward, first to bolt.

 

Anyway, likely to be my last effort this summer. I don't have time to come back for quite a while. Something a bit magical about seeing it, I can see why so many myths and superstitions surround white offspring of any species, sadly so much being negative and hostile, because of the alleged "demon" eyes. The good news is that it seems to be accepted by the other rabbits in the group.

Some clouds cresting over the local foothills.

 

Enjoy your day!
