A local man, dressed in striped overalls, a collared shirt, and a tan cardigan, sits on a green wooden bench in Oskaloosa’s Central Park on a cool spring day in April 1977. He holds a Realistic Patrolman-6 multiband radio by RadioShack, complete with its long telescoping antenna extended fully upward. The man appears alert and mid-conversation, with a cane looped across his lap and a knit beanie keeping him warm.
In the background, the recognizable Mahaska County Courthouse and square frame the scene with bare trees, parked cars, and early spring grass. Visible parked vehicles include:
A 1969–1972 Chevrolet Impala in white
A 1968 Ford Galaxie in tan
A 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass or similar A-body GM car in darker green or black
A few other late-1960s and early-1970s American cars with distinctive long profiles and chrome bumpers
This slice-of-life photo captures a moment of daily routine and independence in small-town Iowa, with analog technology and quiet civic charm on display.

My panorama software having fun combining several shots of a yellow flower into a rather pretty circular pattern.
The power of multiband vision - Centaurus A radiogalaxy (one of the the most powerful radiosources on the sky)
This is one segment of an infrared portrait of dust and stars radiating in the inner Milky Way. More than 800,000 frames from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope were stitched together to create the full image, capturing more than 50 percent of our entire galaxy.
As inhabitants of a flat galactic disk, Earth and its solar system have an edge-on view of their host galaxy, like looking at a glass dish from its edge. From our perspective, most of the galaxy is condensed into a blurry narrow band of light that stretches completely around the sky, also known as the galactic plane.
This segment extends through the constellations Scutum and Serpens Cauda. While most of these features are unseen in visible light due to foreground dust, the relatively nearby Eagle Nebula is easily seen in both visible and infrared light (upper left).
The swaths of green represent organic molecules, called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are illuminated by light from nearby star formation, while the thermal emission, or heat, from warm dust is rendered in red. Star-forming regions appear as swirls of red and yellow, where the warm dust overlaps with the glowing organic molecules. The blue specks sprinkled throughout the photograph are Milky Way stars.
This survey segment spans galactic longitudes of 16.5 to 24.8 degrees and is centered at a galactic latitude of 0 degrees. It covers about two vertical degrees of the galactic plane.
This is a three-color composite that shows infrared observations from two Spitzer instruments. Blue represents 3.6-micron light and green shows light of 8 microns, both captured by Spitzer's infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer. This combines observations from the Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE) and MIPSGAL projects.
