I was attracted by the mixture of leaves and foam spinning in the pool, so I put on the ND filter and took couple of long exposures. There was no wind at all and the atmosphere was completed by the thick fog 🤩

Words don't describe what its like to stand under this. Tuesday night. Manvel, North Dakota.

Here's the full photo briefly featured in my recent video post showing Gabriel C. Brown against the full solar chromosphere after his jump. Crazy how small he looks despite being nearly 50,000,000x closer! This ended up being my most popular print (vs the closeup) linked in my bio.

Honouring the greatest Wildlife Warrior in history on this special day. From the tiniest of lizards to the largest of crocodiles, Steve taught us to appreciate every part of our natural world. Happy Steve Irwin Day💚

A Boston University student bragged that he called ICE to raid a local car wash. Zac Segal, president of the BU College Republicans, said he snitched because “immigrants are taking American jobs.” Then the lawyer for the workers hit back with the obvious: Segal wasn’t born in

This is wild! Here is a mosaic image combining satellite passes from NOAA 21, Suomi NPP, and NOAA 20 showing the auroral oval very extended during the geomagnetic storm earlier this week. I have annotated where the typical auroral oval rests over the north geomagnetic pole.

We may be past solar maximum in the current solar cycle, but the fun is far from over. In fact, the best may still be ahead. The declining phases of solar cycles are often rich in complex sunspots, flares, CMEs and geomagnetic storms. Meng et al. (2019) found that about half of

It was 5:02 in the PNW The clouds hugged the foothills this evening, and the drizzle wouldn’t stop; I had no complaints, and the mood was incredible. #wawx #pnw #nature

Since my recent skydiver transit shot is going viral, I thought I would share some of the other things I’ve caught transiting the moon or sun!

Seeing the aurora in the desert will never stop being a top tier experience.

Absolutely wild article. I genuinely do not understand how anyone today could set up a riverside camp without an evacuation plan. A big takeaway was what really hit me in the first hand accounts. They are the first ones I have seen that clearly break the idea that the camp was

I’ve still never seen aurora from below, but up here, it’s a frequent show. Last week’s was especially good. See if you can spot Houston, Florida, and the northern lights all in one frame, before we head out across the Gulf and some great lightning storms over South America at

Looking through the video footage of Hurricane Melissa a bit more closely and it turns out there was some lightning visible even during the daytime over on the left side
