I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but, that eclipse pic may very well be 'shopped.

Would the 'thin blue line' of our atmosphere deform like that?

BigV 04-05-2012 06:07 PM
why not? there's less light in that space to be scattered by the air, therefore less scattering, therefore less "blue".

Nice shot of the tube, Zen.

Explanation: When does Mars act like a liquid? Although liquids freeze and evaporate quickly into the thin atmosphere of Mars, persistent winds may make large sand dunes appear to flow and even drip like a liquid. Visible on the above image right are two flat top mesas in southern Mars when the season was changing from Spring to Summer. A light dome topped hill is also visible on the far left of the image. As winds blow from right to left, flowing sand on and around the hills leaves picturesque streaks. The dark arc-shaped droplets of fine sand are called barchans, and are the interplanetary cousins of similar Earth-based sand forms. Barchans can move intact a downwind and can even appear to pass through each other. When seasons change, winds on Mars can kick up dust and are monitored to see if they escalate into another of Mars' famous planet-scale sand storms.

Those drops look like little spacecraft. Proof there is Life on Mars.

Hah! Great minds...I thought they looked like the 'saucer section' of the starship Enterprise.

Looks like nothing so much as a couple trash cans.

And, look! Somebody threw away a perfectly good midget.

I was gonna post this pic, but dude has some (not unreasonable) usage conditions (I think I would've been okay posting, I'm just too lazy to email the guy) on his work.

BTW: The pic I refer to is for April 27, 2012. The pic changes daily, so, if you go at another time you might have to search for the pic.

He has some good stuff.

Spend a little time in the archives, it's worth it.

Explanation: Planet Earth has many moons. Its largest artifical moon, the International Space Station, streaks through this lovely skyview with clouds in silhouette against the fading light of a sunset. Captured from Stuttgart, Germany last Sunday, the frame also includes Earth's largest natural satellite 1.5 days after its New Moon phase. Just below and left of the young crescent is Jupiter, another bright celestial beacon hovering near the western horizon in early evening skies. Only briefly, as seen from the photographer's location, Jupiter and these moons of Earth formed the remarkably close triple conjunction. Of course, Jupiter has many moons too. In fact, close inspection of the photo will reveal tiny pin pricks of light near the bright planet, large natural satellites of Jupiter known as Galilean moons.
