A View to a Nebula - From NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/2n9WJw2
This colorful image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and published in 2018, celebrated the Earth-orbiting observatory's 28th anniversary of viewing the heavens, giving us a window seat to the universe’s extraordinary tapestry of stellar birth and destruction. At the center of the photo, a monster young star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun is blasting powerful ultraviolet radiation and hurricane-like stellar winds, carving out a fantasy landscape of ridges, cavities, and mountains of gas and dust. This mayhem is all happening at the heart of the Lagoon Nebula, a vast stellar nursery located 4,000 light-years away and visible in binoculars simply as a smudge of light with a bright core. The giant star, called Herschel 36, is bursting out of its natal cocoon of material, unleashing blistering radiation and torrential stellar winds (streams of subatomic particles) that push dust away in curtain-like sheets. This action resembles the Sun bursting through the clouds at the end of an afternoon thunderstorm that showers sheets of rainfall.

The magma chamber of the Ardnamurchan volcano in west Scotland, erupted 60 million years ago. Now exposed by erosion, when active it was 4 km below ground. This is part of crustal rifting and formation of the North Atlantic Ocean. It is awesome to be able to walk inside the ancient chamber now!

Hadrian’s Wall,built AD122 during the Roman occupation of Britain. The wall is to the right, the cliffs to the left are the Whin Sill, formed by magma intruding along sedimentary beds approx 300 million years ago. The Romans used this natural cliff as a foundation for the Roman wall. Awesome!

Today’s evening dog walk through the Cathedral of Pines as the setting sun caresses the tree bark. If your timeline needs a moment of peace, come walk with Monty and me, my friends. 😊

Here’s an interesting Jackdaw exhibiting partial leucism - maybe it’s trying to impersonate a magpie!

Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here

A waterfall crashes down a canyon in Yellowstone National Park . There are conifers above and on the upper left and lower right of the canyon and falls. A barely visible trail is winding its way through the bottom of the photo.

I live in canyon country, so could post 8,637 #scape photos. I'll try to resist the urge. This is a scene along the lower Paria River in northern Arizona.
