WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 6 Jan 06 Washington, DC DEEP SPACE CLIMATE OBSERVATORY KILLED. http://bobpark.physics.umd.edu/index.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

This is October, 25th, 2022, and the time is 11:19UTC.
Two cosmic events are happening at the same time, involving the 3 main celestial bodies. In one sentence: The Sun is smiling while looking at the Moon cast its shadow onto the Earth. Two pictures shot at the exact same moment: 1. Left: Almost total sun eclipse over Russia. See the Earth "eaten" at the North-East. Picture by DSCOVR satellite around L1. What the Sun sees of us... 2. Right: a smile draw on the Sun surface by its coronal holes. As if it liked the show smile.gif. Picture by NASA SDO satellite, also on L1, but looking the other way. |
