Yellow Brain Fungus / tremella mesenterica. Pioneer Meadows, Derbyshire. 29/01/18.
A pleasing local find growing on a thin fallen Hazel branch.
I had watched this fungus develop over about a week and seized the opportunity to photograph it after a night of heavy rain. Fully hydrated it was at its gelatinous best!
The above is called "tempayan" in Malay. It is actually an earthenware jar - though this one is actually huge. It is about 3 feet high and could easily hold a person.
It originates from China and use to store food, pickled food, water or other preserved food such as fish and in the olden days, it even stores dead bodies.

An irregular galaxy called UGC 12682 glows warmly against the dark backdrop of the universe in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Located approximately 70 million light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus (the Winged Horse), UGC 12682 is distorted and oddly structured, with bright pockets of star formation.
In November 2008, 14-year-old Caroline Moore from New York discovered a supernova in UGC 12682. This made her the youngest person at the time to have discovered a supernova. Follow-up observations by professional astronomers of the so-called SN 2008ha showed that it was peculiarly interesting in many different ways. First, its host galaxy, UGC 12682, rarely produces supernovae. It is also one of the faintest supernovae ever observed and after the explosion it expanded very slowly, suggesting that the explosion did not release copious amounts of energy as usually expected.
Astronomers have now classified SN 2008ha as a subclass of a Type Ia supernova, which is the explosion of a white dwarf that hungrily accretes matter from a companion star. SN 2008ha may have been the result of a partially failed supernova, explaining why the explosion failed to decimate the whole star.

I’m willing to bet that there aren’t too many people who have a guard turkey watching over their vehicles. I hope it doesn’t think that I’m taking it running this morning.

There looked to be irregular distribution of gas near around Sadr, a supergiant star at 1,800 light years away, magnitude 2.23 in Cygnus.
I can not be confident now if it is real entity or mere optical illusion.

The apochromatic refractor showed super sharp stars and nicely flat frames showing less scattering of light compared to reflector scopes. It was very easy for me to handle the light-weighted scope.

Irregular rocks glisten at dawn near Basham Beach, Middleton on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Summer mornings in South Australia are a double edged blade - it's pleasantly cool in the mornings and the weather is always brilliant, but there is often little cloud cover making it necessary to concentrate on the foreground composition rather than rely on the interplay of light over clouds in the sky above.

Mehrere Bundesländer, nicht alle, veranstalten in unregelmäigen Abständen Landesgartenschauen. Im Land Brandenburg findet 2022 eine solche Schau, abgekürzt LAGA, in der Stadt Beelitz, gelegen ca. 43 km (Luftlinie) südwestlich von Berlin statt. Beelitz, gegründet vor ca. 1000 Jahren, hat zusammen mit mehreren in den letzten Jahren eingemeindeten Dörfern der Umgebung etwa 13.000 Einwohner und ist das Zentrum eines großen Spargelanbaugebiets. Spargel, vor allem der weiße, wird in Beelitz und Umgebung schon seit über 150 Jahren angebaut. Er spielt auch eine große Rolle auf der LAGA 2022 als dekoratives Element und in einer Ausstellung über den Spargelanbau. Außerdem bietet ein großes Restaurant, betrieben von einem großen Spargelhof, Spargelgerichte. Für die LAGA wurde eine wenig attraktive Festwiese, die sich zwischen der Altstadt und dem Fluss Nieplitz erstreckt, in einen großen Park umgestaltet, der den Einwohnern dauerhaft zur Verfügung stehen wird. Die beliebten und alle zwei Wochen wechselnden Blumenschauen, in denen Gärtnereibetriebe ihr Leistungsvermögen demonstrieren, finden mitten in der Altstadt, in der 800-jährigen Stadtpfarrkirche St. Marien und St. Nikolai statt, die nach der LAGA wieder als Ort für Gottesdienste genutzt werden wird.
Several federal states, not all, organise state garden shows at irregular intervals. In the state of Brandenburg, such a show, abbreviated LAGA, takes place in 2022 in the town of Beelitz, located about 43 km (as the crow flies) southwest of Berlin. Beelitz, founded about 1000 years ago, has about 13,000 inhabitants together with several villages in the surrounding area that have been incorporated in recent years, and is the centre of a large asparagus-growing area. Asparagus, especially the white variety, has been grown in Beelitz and the surrounding area for over 150 years. It also plays a major role at LAGA 2022 as a decorative element and in an exhibition about asparagus cultivation. In addition, a large restaurant, run by a large asparagus farm, offers asparagus dishes. For the LAGA, a less attractive festival meadow stretching between the old town and the Nieplitz River has been transformed into a large park that will be permanently available to residents. The popular flower shows, which change every fortnight and in which gardening companies demonstrate their capabilities, take place in the middle of the old town, in the 800-year-old St. Mary's and St. Nicholas' Town Parish Church, which will once again be used as a place for church services after the LAGA.

John, Charles, Roy, and Sheena - my cycling buddies at the Humber Bay Arch Bridge on a December ride. We often turn around at the bridge and return downtown but this time we decided to forge on and do a few more kilometers to Mimico in the western reaches of Toronto before turning back.
We call ourselves "The Irregulars" because the "regular" club ravine rides have stopped for the winter - but we haven't.
Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel, San Esteban de Gormaz, Soria, Castilla y León, España.
La iglesia de San Miguel es de una gran importancia a nivel artístico ya que lo más probable es que fuera el lugar donde por primera vez se edificara una galería porticada románica. Uno de los canecillos así lo atestigua.
En él aparece un monje que sostiene un libro abierto en el que se puede leer: “Me hizo el maestro Julianus en la era de 1119 (año 1081)”. Por este motivo se trataría no solo de la galería porticada más antigua de Castilla, sino uno de los primeros templos románicos de la zona sur del Duero. Declarada Monumento Nacional desde 1976.
Se trata de un templo de una sola nave con torre adosada al lado norte y galería porticada posterior a la construcción de la iglesia. Esta galería era un espacio de valor social ya que servía de lugar de reunión.
Los capiteles del pórtico muestran animales, caballeros y fortalezas musulmanas. La portada es muy sencilla. Se compone de 4 arquivoltas cuyos capiteles representan caras, leones y piñas. El ábside posee una ventana aspillera decorada con ajedrezado.
A diferencia de la iglesia, que está construida en mampostería irregular, la torre y la galería porticada presentan sillares cuadrados.
Interiormente solo tiene una nave, un corto presbiterio y ábside semicircular. En la capilla quedan una serie de pinturas tardo góticas representando la Visitación, la Adoración de los Reyes Magos y la Huida a Egipto.
Como curiosidad durante las obras de acondicionamiento realizadas en 2009, sacaron a la luz cientos de grafitos del S. XII y XIII, inscripciones funerarias, huellas, cruces de consagración…etc. También se encontró en la galería porticada de la iglesia una tumba medieval, en la que el difunto sujetaba en la mano una cruz patriarcal del S. XII, que está expuesta en el Museo Numantino de Soria.
The church of San Miguel is of great importance on an artistic level since it was most likely the place where a Romanesque porticoed gallery was built for the first time. One of the corbels testifies to this.
In it appears a monk holding an open book in which one can read: "Master Julianus made me in the era of 1119 (year 1081)". For this reason it would be not only the oldest porticoed gallery in Castile, but also one of the first Romanesque temples in the southern area of the Duero. Declared a National Monument since 1976.
It is a temple with a single nave with a tower attached to the north side and a porticoed gallery after the construction of the church. This gallery was a space of social value since it served as a meeting place.
The capitals of the portico show animals, knights and Muslim fortresses. The cover is very simple. It is made up of 4 archivolts whose capitals represent faces, lions and pineapples. The apse has a loophole window decorated with a checkered pattern.
Unlike the church, which is built in irregular masonry, the tower and the porticoed gallery have square ashlars.
Inside it only has a nave, a short presbytery and a semicircular apse. In the chapel there are a series of late Gothic paintings representing the Visitation, the Adoration of the Magi and the Flight into Egypt.
As a curiosity, during the conditioning works carried out in 2009, hundreds of graffiti from the 12th and 13th centuries, funerary inscriptions, footprints, consecration crosses, etc. were brought to light. A medieval tomb was also found in the porticoed gallery of the church, in which the deceased held a patriarchal cross from the 12th century in his hand, which is on display at the Numantino Museum in Soria.
