We had a very strong thunder storm in Paris june 5th 2011. I like this couple with the umbrela.

Midnight Twilight Eclipse
Copyright: Tarmo Tanilsoo

[attachment=3]composite.jpg[/attachment]

During the [recent solar] eclipse, I took a number of digital photos of the Northern horizon at fairly regular intervals and in fact, I did measure the darkening of the sky ahead of time. The darkest part of the night occurred about half an hour before the Sun reached minimal altitude below the horizon. The photo that I attach to this message, is a composite of 24 digital photos taken as a part of the observation. At the top of each "stripe", you can see the timestamp in local time (UTC+03:00 at this season) depicting the moment the picture was taken. Although the Sun itself was below the horizon at my home in Laguja, Estonia, ... the eclipse put a dent into the luminosity of the night sky.

The similarity between the dust structures in the solar flare and in the Rosette Nebula is indeed interesting. I guess that the main difference is size. The radius of the Rosette Nebula is 65 light-years, according to http://www.brighthub.com/science/space/ ... 88688.aspx, so the dust bunnies in the Rosette Nebula must be several light-years long. The radius of the Sun is 695500 kilometers, according to http://www.universetoday.com/18370/radius-of-the-sun/, so the dust bunnies in the solar flare are probably not even a million kilometers long.

It is a very ingenious idea to look for the signs of an eclipse below the horizon and this is a flawless execution by Tarmo Tanilsoo. Very nice looking, too.

I agree completely!

I also love Arne Danielsen's midnight eclipse image. The color of the light in the picture is magical. It could be that the "chance conjuction" between the eclipsed Sun and the semi-transparent cloud helped bring out the fantastic light.

I love the latest image of SN 1987A, too. The incredible "birdie shape" inside the glowing ring makes it look like this could be a cosmic kiddie cartoon. And Arnold Oberschelp could perhaps star in a more educational children's TV show, with his amazing eclipse glasses!

I was also happy to see Enrico Africa's portrait of M53 and NGC 5053, two globular clusters which are so alike and yet so different, because one is truly brimming with stars, while the other has lost very many of them. It's a very nice picture, too, with a very fine color balance.

I also love Yuri Beletsky's Dark Doodad Molecular Cloud image. The colors may possibly be somewhat enhanced, but they are lovely. The blue star is Gamma Musca, a B5V star that is quite blue and bright, with a B-V of about -0.15 and a V magnitude of about 240 times the Sun. The globular cluster is the 7.2 magnitude NGC 4372, with an A0 star superimposed on the edge of it. Note the dark reddish-brown color of the Dark Doodad! (I'm sure I recently read that molecular clouds in the Milky Way are typically long and narrow structures, just like the Dark Doodad. Do the follow magnetic lines, perhaps?)

Just because teh picture of the Eiffel Tower with flashes of lightning is so nice, I can't resist showing you this picture of the tallest building in my hometown of Malmö, Turning Torso, during a recent thunderstorm:

No, it's not my picture. I wish... The picture is by Scanpix.
