Visitors to The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California study a map.
My photography model decided the location of a pigeon in her garden was more important than the map of London. Happy Caturday.
Directly behind a waterfall, lumps of ice has formed something that resembles an unfolded map of the world. At least with some imagination. Do you see it too?

A final instar Map butterfly larva attaches itself to a Stinging Nettle leaf before pupating. The Map is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is common throughout the lowlands of central and eastern Europe, and is expanding its range in western Europe.
Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photograph is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.
I never much cared for this unit once it was painted up in this scheme. Just about everything WC did turned to gold in my mind except for this beast. The flag unit was much nicer in my opinion but anyway here is 3026 leading 7510 on the OACTI at Soo Yard on February 22, 2001.
The view of northwest Dorset from UA5 at around 27,000' whilst coasting in towards Heathrow.
As with last week's Sunday Landscape flic.kr/p/2qEYTfv I have added location notes over the photo. The white boxes are not easy to pick out against the snowy landscape. However, you can hover your mouse over the photo in an attempt to see them.
Spent a few hours walking around Swansea Marina on Thursday, and couldn't resist some reflection shots . Map of the problematique is by Muse
The outline of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, and of its neighbouring Magellanic Clouds, in an image based on housekeeping data from ESA’s Gaia satellite, indicating the total number of stars detected every second in each of the satellite's fields of view.
Brighter regions indicate higher concentrations of stars, while darker regions correspond to patches of the sky where fewer stars are observed.
The plane of the Milky Way, where most of the Galaxy’s stars reside, is evidently the brightest portion of this image, running horizontally and especially bright at the centre. Darker regions across this broad strip of stars, known as the Galactic Plane, correspond to dense, interstellar clouds of gas and dust that absorb starlight along the line of sight.
The Galactic Plane is the projection on the sky of the Galactic disc, a flattened structure with a diameter of about 100 000 light-years and a vertical height of only 1000 light-years.
Beyond the plane, only a few objects are visible, most notably the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, which stand out in the lower right part of the image. A few globular clusters – large assemblies up to millions of stars held together by their mutual gravity – are also sprinkled around the Galactic Plane.

here is a just-published interview with me: www.capitalfringe.org/blog/transformer-meet-the-artist-ren/
oh noes tomorrow i have a meeting at the JR railpass corner in Tokyo station. finding the specific place on the map doesn't really make me not worry. halp.

Our Daily Challenge 29 December - 4 January : Map.
The walls are thick with mosses with all the damp, and even as a child I thought they looked like maps.
Now, with images from Google Earth in full colour, They are even more like views from above.
While scanning the sky to chart a billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, ESA’s Gaia satellite is also sensitive to celestial bodies closer to home, and regularly observes asteroids in our Solar System.
This view shows the orbits of more than 14 000 known asteroids (with the Sun at the centre of the image) based on information from Gaia’s second data release, which was made public in 2018.
The majority of asteroids depicted in this image, shown in bright red and orange hues, are main-belt asteroids, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter; Trojan asteroids, found around the orbit of Jupiter, are shown in dark red.
In yellow, towards the image centre, are the orbits of several tens of near-Earth asteroids observed by Gaia: these are asteroids that come to within 1.3 astronomical units (AU) to the Sun at the closest approach along their orbit. The Earth circles the Sun at a distance of 1 AU (around 150 million km) so near-Earth asteroids have the potential to come into proximity with our planet.
Most asteroids that Gaia detects are already known, but every now and then, the asteroids seen by ESA's Milky Way surveyor do not match any existing observations. This is the case for the three orbits shown in grey in this view: these are Gaia’s first asteroid discoveries.
The three new asteroids were first spotted by Gaia in December 2018, and later confirmed by follow-up observations performed with the Haute-Provence Observatory in France, which enabled scientists to determine their orbits. Comparing these informations with existing observations indicated the objects had not been detected earlier.
While they are part of the main belt of asteroids, all three move around the Sun on orbits that have a greater tilt (15 degrees or more) with respect to the orbital plane of planets than most main-belt asteroids.
The population of such high-inclination asteroids is not as well studied as those with less tilted orbits, since most surveys tend to focus on the plane where the majority of asteroids reside. But Gaia can readily observe them as it scans the entire sky from its vantage point in space, so it is possible that the satellite will find more such objects in the future and contribute new information to study their properties.
Alongside the extensive processing and analysis of Gaia’s data in preparation for subsequent data releases, preliminary information about Gaia’s asteroid detections are regularly shared via an online alert system so that astronomers across the world can perform follow-up observations. To observe these asteroids, a 1-m or larger telescope is needed.
Once an asteroid detected by Gaia has been identified also in ground-based observations, the scientists in charge of the alert system analyse the data to determine the object’s orbit. In case the ground observations match the orbit based on Gaia’s data, they provide the information to the Minor Planet Center, which is the official worldwide organization collecting observational data for small Solar System bodies like asteroids and comets.
This process may lead to new discoveries, like the three asteroids with orbits depicted in this image, or to improvements in the determination of the orbits of known asteroids, which are sometimes very poorly known. So far, several tens of asteroids detected by Gaia have been observed from the ground in response to the alert system, all of them belonging to the main belt, but it is possible that also near-Earth asteroids will be spotted in the future.
A number of observatories across the world are already involved in these activities, including the Haute-Provence Observatory, Kyiv Comet station, Odessa-Mayaki, Terskol, C2PU at Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur and Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network. The more that join, the more we will learn about asteroids – known and new ones alike.

An old map measurer wheel (just looked this up on Mr Google to see if there was a proper name for it, but disappointingly there doesn't seem to be one) that must be over 60 years old so I call that ancient! My Dad used to love using it and it came with us on every holiday in the UK.
For Crazy Tuesday: Old
and I hope it counts for 123 pictures in 2023 scientific instrument (without a nice scientific name)
