Saturday Sky ;-D

These pictures made me think of holiday decorations. I don't decorate like this, but I would like window clings that looked like these.

The REAL Explanation: On December 22nd, at 0022 Universal Time the Sun reached its southernmost point in Earth's sky marking the final season change for the year 2006. In celebration of the Solstice, consider these images of the Sun from an extreme ultraviolet telescope onboard the Stereo Ahead spacecraft. Recorded on December 4th, Stereo's first day of imaging, each false-color view highlights atomic emission in different temperature regimes of the upper solar atmosphere; 2 million kelvins in yellow, 1.5 million in green, 1 million, in blue and 60 to 80 thousand in red. The Stereo Mission will place twin spacecraft, launched together in October, into different solar orbits to conduct a three dimensional exploration of the Sun and the solar environment. After completing lunar swingby maneuvers, the A spacecraft is intended to orbit the Sun "Ahead" of planet Earth, and the B spacecraft "Behind".

Gotta love it!

The first picture was taken at 2pm and the second at 3pm.
I love Minnesota!

Saturday Sky from Long Ago

This is the sky on the day that we moved from Nebraska to Minnesota.
In May 1983, we packed up and drove from Bennington to Bloomington.
In June 1983, we finished the trip, all the way to Maple Grove ;-D
Ten days in a motel with four little boys. You do the math!!!


This was our "Welcome to Minnesota" Sky. A little intimidating, but pretty!



Here are the little angels who were trapped with me in a Howard Johnson's in 1983.
They are all full grown now (not necessarily grown-up!).

Warm Hands!

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything, but life just gets in the way sometimes.
I have been on a knittin' mitten mission. There are even a few more that are done, they are just in the other room and I'm not going to get them right now.
Gotta love Warm Hands!
