On my way up to Minnesota for my sister's operation, I took the red eye to Minneapolis, and woke up just before dawn. This is what I saw a few moments later. The land of 10000 lakes.

Walking out of the NSBE conference at the convention center in Pittburgh, the rain had just stopped and as I turned to my left I saw the rainbow perfectly framed between the buildings as the sun went down. Schmaltzy, yes, but still pretty.

The dome seen here houses the Lick Refractor, a 36" diameter lens telescope that is the second largest refracting telescope in the world.

Since North America missed out on the fun of experiencing the solar eclipse last week, I thought I'd share a lunar eclipse composition I took a few years back.

Red Moon

The moon was coming up over the Santa Cruz mountains and it was something sort of spooky. It's strange to see the red moon in California even though it was a staple in Arizona.
