The minifigure is top notch. The torso choice is excellent, and one of the reasons
I purchased him. The dial is a nice touch, adding to the steampunk feel. My only complaint is that the two neck pieces to hold the dial and jetpack make his head too tall to be proportionate, but this is too easily fixed for it to matter much. I'm glad the helmet is
reddish brown, as the old brown wouldn't fit the rest of the figure.
I thought these astronauts were simply fabulous!

While these beautiful flowers are abundant all around northern Michigan, Dame's Rocket is not a native plant. Rather, it is an invasive species that threatens native plant life and the environment around it. I spotted these flowers along the Empire Bluffs trail on the way back from the Lake Michigan overlook.
burning up his fuse up here alone. (Elton John song reference, BTW) Jasper jetting around Lost Dutchman State Park.
The park name is in reference to a German dude (back in the 1800s known as a "Dutchman") who supposedly found a gold in the Superstition Mountains just East of Phoenix, AZ. Somewhere along the line the map to the goldmine was lost and the mine hasn't been found since despite many treasure seekers dying in the desert trying to find it. So it's really short for Lost Goldmine that a Dutchman originally discovered, not a Dutchman that got lost.
"Launched" on Friday night. The Rocketship was a major art/performance piece at Burning Man 2009.
Art Piece Description:
The Raygun Gothic Rocketship is a rococo retro-futurist future-rustic vernacular between yesterday's tomorrow and the future that never was, a critical kitsch somewhere between The Moons of Mongo & Manga Nouveau.

A 1956 Oldsmobile Rocket 98, top of the line model for the Oldsmobile's, the other model was the Rocket 88. The 98's were the more luxurious and also more expensive. The big news behind the Rocket for 1956 was the availability of the Jetaway Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. The Ninety-Eight series Oldsmobiles rode on a 126-inch wheelbase, while 88s used a 122-inch wheelbase. The top-of-the-line Ninety-Eights also used slightly different body side moldings. This 4 door hardtop sedan is in relatively good condition, the carport not quite as good. Photographed in Victoria BC Canada.
I was in Chinatown on Chicago's North Side celebrating Chinese New Year earlier today so I didn't get a chance to post my Caturday photo until now. This is Rocket, the tabby cat of my friend and neighbor (He is the brother of Ollie). Rocket sometimes thinks he is a dragon but really wants it to be Year of the CAT forever!!!

Spent an amazing night under crystal clear skies near Mahia New Zealand last night, and caught Rocket Lab's Electron rocket launch on its #RunningOutofToes mission.
Unfortunately this mission was not a success, with Electron suffering a malfunction shortly after the second stage start up burn. Gutted for the team at Rocket Lab, and a shame that this photo will now serve to bring back bad memories!

rocket.
rock•et \’rä-kət\ noun.
1a: a firework consisting of a case partly filled with a combustible composition fastened to a guiding stick and propelled through the air by the rearward discharge of the gases liberated by combustion b: a similar device used as an incendiary weapon or as a propelling unit (as for a lifesaving line) 2: a jet engine that operates on the same principle as the firework rocket, consists essentially of a combustion chamber and an exhaust nozzle, carries either liquid or solid propellants which provide the fuel and oxygen needed for combustion and thus make the engine independent of the oxygen of the air, and is used especially for the propulsion of a missile (as a bomb or shell) or a vehicle (as an airplane) 3: a rocket-propelled bomb, missile, projectile, or vehicle
I admit it, I cheated. Both shots were taken on March 19, both were taken within a short distance of each other, just not the same place at the same time. I was all set up to take this shot with a real moon in it when security ran me off from the parking lot. I'm glad I went ahead and took a couple of reference shots first. I knew the angle would be very close to this by using the Photographers' Ephemeris. The scale is bit off, but as long as I was cheating I decided to enhance it a bit.

Algebra
"There is no collective thought. On the other hand our science is
collective like our techniques. Specialization. We inherit not only results but methods which we do not understand. For the matter of that the two are inseparable, for the results of algebra provide methods for other sciences."

The remains of Stephenson’s Rocket recently arrived at Locomotion, Shildon, 10th March 2023.
Locomotive History
Rocket was built by Robert Stephenson in 1829 for the Rainhill Trials organised by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It was the first steam locomotive to bring together several innovations to produce the most advanced locomotive of its day and easily won the trials. It is the most famous example of an evolving design of locomotives by Stephenson that became the template for most steam engines in the following 150 years. After service on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway it was used between 1836 and 1840 on Lord Carlisle's Railway mineral near Brampton, in Cumberland. During these ten years the engine was considerably modified. After lying out of use for over twenty years it was donated to the Science Museum in 1862 and would spend the next 150+ years on display at the museum. In 2018, it moved to the National Railway Museum at York and has now recently moved to Locomotion.
In 1979 a working replica of the 1829 version of Rocket was built by Locomotion Enterprises in the Springwell Workshops at the Bowes Railway for the 150th anniversary celebrations. This replica can also be found at Locomotion and is occasionally steamed (see first comment)

One of my most favourite spotty, dotty canvas pumps.....from the huge range of bright and quirky footwear made by Rocket Dog
After skipping work in Dane, L467 continues along the Reedsburg Sub with a pretty good sized train. The afternoon's edition of the Reedsburg Rocket consisted of a fresh GP59 in WSOR colors & 4223, the sole SD45 carbody on the WSOR roster.
Coming out of a restaurant in Los Angeles, we noticed that everyone was looking up at the sky. A passing Biker shouted
out to us "It's a Rocket, Man."
It really was. Some kind of test rocket.
Couldn't get the Elton John song out of my head for the rest of the night.
The 'Rocket' as it is fondly called by the railfan coterie led by a handsome looking KYN WDG3A basking in the early morning sunshine hurtles past the serene garden station of Goa running a good one hour behind its schedule.
Looks okay large, but you can see a lot of noise at that size. Not a very good shot, technically... but I'm pretty happy for my first attempt at a 2 hour exposure :)
Picked up a neutral density filter over the weekend and had to try it out. It was a little strong for this type of shot (ND 3.0, 1000x) but worked fine. I think a 64x filter would be better for this though.
There was a lot of guesswork involved in this long of an exposure - the previous night I took a lot of shots trying to get a handle on what settings I'd need using the ND filter. I knew I'd underexpose it with the 1000x filter, but that's the only filter I have that would work. If I had a ND 0.9 filter I calculated I could do a two hour exposure at ISO 100 and f/11, which would be ideal.
I ended up getting a lot of noise in this shot, lots of small white dots that I mainly kept in, and a lot of larger (~5 pixel diameter) blue/purple dots that I removed in Photoshop. Not sure what all that was from... maybe dust on the filter?
edit: spent a bit of time removing noise, much better now.
