The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars

Thanks for posting!! Saw the infrared photos of the aurora and it looked massive!! http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA21033 Click on the bottom for more images... magnetic Milky Way
Waves detected the signature emissions of the energetic particles that generate the massive auroras which encircle Jupiter's north pole. These emissions are the strongest in the solar system. Now we are going to try to figure out where the electrons come from that are generating them. Also Saturn's pole is hexagonal!! So very cool. Can't find the Magnetic Milky Way now
will keep checking for it... Eye of Saturn https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width_feature/public/pia18273_full.jpg?itok=eTUGAIB0

Did anyone check out Venus and the moon this evening? About thirty minutes after sunset, I walked outside to have a look at the alluring indigo night sky. There they were, a heavenly sight to behold, Venus shimmering like a brilliant diamond just below a luminous waxing crescent moon - stunningly beautiful!!! Sooooo inspiring!!!
Hope That You Can Enjoy A Beautiful Harvest Moon On The 16th, (((Anita)))!

They found the lander that landed on the comet.
And, have a sad yet fruitful end to the mission. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160912.html

Hi (((Steve))), Beautiful Harvest Moon image, thanks so much for posting!
I will indeed be enjoying tomorrow evening's Harvest Moon and hope you will enjoy as well!
Did you happen to see the Sturgeon Moon back on the 18th of August? It was AMAZING!!! I had just finished viewing a marching band parent preview, waiting for my children to arrive in the parking lot. There it was, hanging low, a stunningly beautiful, massive creme tangerine moon! ? Truly a sight to behold!!! Everyone in the parking lot was standing and staring in awe! Always LOVE to see these beautiful offerings! Looking forward to tomorrow night!

Thanks! I and a friend were sitting out last weekend trying to remember the name of the August full moon. Now, I know what to tell him!
I will be out to look for the Harvest moon tomorrow night! Providing the sky is clear! We've had our share of clouds and rain lately!
Thanks again, they are beautiful offerings and gifts indeed!

Great photo. Did you take this?
-
^ That is indeed a wonderful photo! We've had some beautiful clear nights here...where the moon has seemed so close you could almost reach up and touch it! The Sea of Tranquility and the Sea of Serenity a blue grey so brightly lit...
-
I didn't take the photo. Yes it is beautiful! I remember the first time I saw the moon through a pair of powerful binoculars. It was a revelation moment! It was no longer just a light in the sky...it was an actual tangible physical large sphere. It was 100 times more beautiful then!

Happy Full Moon tonight!ð??

Amazing that they found it, that is a massive comet
wondering will the crash into the comet affect it?

You're welcome!
We went to Atlantic City last night to have dinner at one of the vintage restaurants down there (great ravioli). Upon leaving the restaurant, there it was, that alluring, HUGE Harvest Moon!
The moon was eerily beautiful, brightly illuminating the surrounding clouds - stunning!!!
Hope you experienced clear skies and a great view!
-
^ Yes! The skies cleared out after raining earlier and it was beautiful! I even took a silly 9 second video of it!
A friend reminded me of Leon Redbone's version of Harvest Moon. Triple cool!!!
-
^ So pleased you were able to enjoy the beautiful Harvest Moon!
Oh, and everything "triple" is cool!Awesome Leon Redbone version of 'Shine On, Harvest Moon,' incredible voice!
Thanks so much for sharing!

Just saw a show about a Gamma Ray extinction...hope we're not near one of those events...asteroids either, for that matter!!
Those events in Russia were kinda scary...
That's probably about WR104, a star collapse that may have shot a gamma ray beam our way. It is in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius (The Archer). With that and the Yellowstone cauldera, slowly coming back to life, those who don't promote Love and Peace might consider repenting asap.
If they saw the size on the map, of the last super volcano in that area, they would be surprised
It makes Krakatoa look minor in comparison! http://www.earthmountainview.com/yellowstone/YellowstoneFalloutAshBed.gif
Michio has a youtube interview about it too. And, another physicist has one about WR104.
WR104 Star collapse and gamma ray burst from smarty pants to "in a trance"

^ You might be able to ride on a big saucer to the moon when baby K erupts, but you may have to Journey To The Center Of The Earth...first.

I might journey to the center of the Earth with some freeze dried food and water
