From what I’ve seen, the #eclipse generated some significant crowds and viewing enthusiasm across the world – and it was pretty spectacular for many!

History Passing and Never Forget Women of NASA

Rest In Peace Mrs. Johnson 🌸 🚀

Our @NASA family is sad to learn the news that Katherine Johnson passed away this morning at 101 years old. She was an American hero and her pioneering legacy will never be forgotten. https://t.co/UPOqo0sLfb pic.twitter.com/AgtxRnA89h

Nod to the Astronauts and Vermont Maple Syrup

Our news comes from radio, various internet links and local channels over Air.
Oh, sometimes seems like there's no good news.
Really enjoyed WCAX Cat did a story about Vermont maple syrup going to the
International Space  Station.

Fall Maples and More

Sap buckets in spring 

Sap. Fred had me drink some,

Spring Tonic

Columbus Day (U.S.)

Columbus Day

U.S.

Always fallen leaves blowing around,

In my memories,

The darkness creeping in,

The daylight hours noticeably dwindling.

This year,

2015,

We contemplate again the Chris Columbus

whom we celebrate with a day off,

or not.

He's the man who set sail for the new world. 

many years ago.

I will let others decide their feelings about Chris,

But no doubt,

The Guy was Brave!

So I pondered the latest photo-tweet 

by

Mark Kelly, Astronaut 

who is spending a year in space.

He is like a modern day Chris Columbus,

Deserving of our awe and appreciation,

He has mine.

Maven takes Haiku from Monkton,Vermont to Mars

The Maven mission off to a perfect start.
My haiku headed to Mars,
Like other explorers,
I Will not be here to watch it found again
If it ever is found.

Godspeed, Mars Haiku
May my message make it to
Our destination.

Love the NASA History Twit-pics...

last night is NCIS x 2 night
CBS has options to watch online too
well we still watch the shows a second time to get
the whole plot figured out...mostly.
Then Vegas is on which once again we will watch re runs later online.
abc cancelled Last Resort for which I am deeply disappointed
We will finish watching all 13 shows. It is a masterful
political science military civilian thriller.
other than that, after cancelling our satellite tv, we watch pbs cooking shows,
you tubes and the cats and blogging
Twitter has been fun for me, randomly landing on photos like this one.

Short NASA movie showing a recent Solar flare from different viewpoints.

Not just a rock

Rocks sometimes look boring.
Some have intersting insides, like geodes, with beautiful crystalline centers and dull outsides.
Today's Astronomy pic of the day is a cross section of cosmic debris,
falling piece of asteroid, and not native to Earth.
Could these be seeds of change and evolution?

Solar Storms

Solar storms seemed invisible,

until now.

This is well worth watching,

NASA has an amazing website,

and this is an amazing stereo viewpoint

many years in the making,

a product of creativity,

science,

and wonder.
