A photo I took several months ago when I was feeling alone and drove into the middle to experience true loneliness.

The Iris Nebula - A reprocess of my data taken in June of last year, this time utilizing Pixinsight before bringing it into Photoshop to finish it up. I have processed this data from scratch many times but for the first time I am really happy with how it came out. .

Light colors? For summer? Groundbreaking. Many of us pick out an outfit based on the day’s weather – sunnier days may call for lighter colors and fabrics to stay cool. The reason behind this is that visible light reflects off light colors and is absorbed by darker colors. The reflectivity, called albedo, is a key way the Earth regulates its temperature. But this is not always the case for all solar energy wavelengths. In the near-infrared part of the spectrum, surfaces like ice and snow are not reflective – in fact, they absorb near-infrared light in much the same way a dark T-shirt absorbs visible light. “People think snow is reflective. It’s so shiny,” said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and acting NASA senior climate adviser. “But it turns out in the near-infrared part of the spectrum, it’s almost black.” Using the vantage point of the International Space Station (ISS), climate scientists are learning more about how solar energy interact with Earth’s surface and systems – at all wavelengths. This is one of the ways researchers are hoping to better inform models of the present and future climate. In this photo taken from the ISS, the rising Sun casts long shadows across the Philippine Sea.

The Medulla Nebula Supernova Remnant . Image Credit & Copyright: Russell Croman . What powers this unusual nebula? CTB-1 is the expanding gas shell that was left when a massive star toward the constellation of Cassiopeia exploded about 10,000 years ago. The star likely detonated when it ran out of elements, near its core, that could create stabilizing pressure with nuclear fusion. The resulting supernova remnant, nicknamed the Medulla Nebula for its brain-like shape, still glows in visible light by the heat generated by its collision with confining interstellar gas. Why the nebula also glows in X-ray light, though, remains a mystery. One hypothesis holds that an energetic pulsar was co-created that powers the nebula with a fast outwardly moving wind. Following this lead, a pulsar has recently been found in radio waves that appears to have been expelled by the supernova explosion at over 1000 kilometers per second. Although the Medulla Nebula appears as large as a full moon, it is so faint that it took 130-hours of exposure with two small telescopes in New Mexico, USA, to create the featured image. . .

Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form found in the natural world. These patterns recur in different contexts and can sometimes be modelled mathematically. Natural patterns include symmetries, trees, spirals, meanders, waves, foams, tessellations, cracks and stripes. Early Greek philosophers studied pattern, with Plato, Pythagoras and Empedocles attempting to explain order in nature. The modern understanding of visible patterns developed gradually over time.
