Messier 8 and Messier 20 objects, also known as the Lagoon and Trifid nebulae (left and right in the picture respectively) are located in constellation Sagittarius. Both are estimated to be between 4,000 - 6,000 light-years away from us and are classified as emission nebulae. Inside them takes place an active star formation feeded by those huge HII clouds.

Happy "Smile on Saturday" with "only one object"!
... and thank you so much for your views, faves and comments!
I like the object. This is an ordinary frame with shorter exposure. No geostationary satellites encroached in the southern hemisphere.

What's all of the fuss about? What's the end result of all of that fast paced action? What's the thrill of the pursuit? Well, it's the natural instinct of brown bears to catch salmon - fresh catch - get them while they last. One last gorge opportunity to "fatten up" as they say before the hibernation period begins.
These brown bears are obsessed by their passion to hunt down, catch, then devour these fresh catch salmon. Sometimes they simply select a salmon as they smell for the roe present in the females; sometimes they devour almost the entire fish; always they attract free-loading gulls to gladly grab up whatever is left over.
Another guarantee is that they are always fascinating to watch. Brings a big smile to my face just looking at this image and remembering the moments as if they were just a few minutes earlier. Poor salmon don't stand much of a chance with these efficient and quick "fishermen" of Katmai NP.
Thanks for stopping by to view and I especially appreciate all of your comments and thoughts that you share in return. Happy Tuesday!

Built in 1928 for the Monongahela Railway in Brownsville, Pennsylvania. Abandoned in approximately 1993 when the railroad merged with Conrail. Now it is near the Norfolk Southern Loveridge Secondary tracks. Here is a photo of the express depot being built in 1928.

Today Margaret managed to jump especially high, all the while I’ve spent most of the day onboard my spaceship, studying the influence of prominent peripheral objects on a polar warped panoramas… In short, goofing around again :)

So today I was looking for Kuro & Ricky and I found them in the yard. They were looking at something that was foreign to them.
As I looked closer I started to chuckle to myself because of their reactions toward the snail. I quickly ran back inside the house and grabbed my camera and snapped the priceless looks on their faces.

Connecting to Sol Precinct… connected.
Processing your query now… done. One match found for "Jovian Fleet".
----
The Jovian Fleet is a criminal syndicate organized under the leadership of former Space Police Officer Nigel MacGruder, who escaped custody and went into hiding after his smuggling activities were discovered. MacGruder has since assembled a sizable fleet of vessels and has been making a growing nuisance of himself, preying on commercial traffic between Earth and the asteroid belts and using his extensive knowledge of Space Police procedures and tactics to rebuild his smuggling empire.
The word "Jovian" doesn't mean the fleet is friendly, it's a reference to their chosen territory in the area of Sol 5 and 6, the planets Jupiter and Saturn. The massive size of these worlds combined with their turbulent atmospheres offers the Jovian Fleet an effectively unlimited number of hiding places, as their ships have been retrofitted with reinforced hulls and integrity fields that allow them to dive deep enough into the atmospheres of the Jovian worlds to escape detection.
Despite an obsession with ornate accommodations and ostentatious trappings, MacGruder is a hard man and a dangerous enemy. We have been attempting to infiltrate his organiztion for some time, and while we've succeeded in inserting a few personnel, they have all met brutal ends at the hands of MacGruder's elite personal strike force, a group of hand-picked operatives he calls the Blood Wardens. This surveillance still from MacGruder's flagship became infamous after he leaked it to the public networks, intended as an object lesson to any would-be informants or traitors. The two men lying dead on the floor were our best source of inside information at the time, and the message sent by their executions was heard loud and clear throughout the criminal underground.
The trigger man was MacGruder's second in command Nathan Wulf, seen standing to the right with the flechette pistol. We don't have names for the two Wardens behind him, but the woman standing by the window with the scoped energy weapon we know only as Aegis, a former freelance sniper who joined MacGruder's fleet several years ago.
Also shown are several of MacGruder's line troops, armed with Jovian Fleet Service Rifles and wearing the distinctive transparent shield visors seen on so many boarding actions. We don't know what MacGruder calls the two men in the back corners of the room, but from their ceremonial garb and unique weapons we suspect they're some sort of personal guard. The woman kneeling at his right is likely a mistress of some kind; MacGruder is not known to keep or deal in slaves.
Exercise extreme caution when patrolling within the Jovian orbits. MacGruder's fleet is not above attacking lone Space Police vessels if he thinks he has the advantage.
There are thousands of objects you'd expect to find in a hardware store, far too many to list here. The list of known and unknown things that are not associated with hardware stores is infinitely longer.
One such thing is seen here. It's a cross-section of what must have been a historic, specimen sized tree.
In other settings this object would have been converted into a calendar on which different rings represent key dates in history: the Fall of Constantinople, the Diet of Worms, the Treaty of Westphalia, the Articles of Confederation, the first daily Peanuts comic strip, and so on.
Unlike a date on a calendar, which is a two-dimensional ink image, each ring in this piece of wood is an actual contemporary of the events that took place when the ring was formed. The same sun and moon shone over them both.
Here, the visible part of the slice is mute. If there is an explanatory label and a ring chronology it must be hidden behind merchandise.
