NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

What does Comet Leonard look like from space? Today's featured image from Origin.Space's Yangwang-1 space telescope shows not only the currently bright comet -- but several other space delights as well. Taken in optical and ultraviolet light, C/2021 A1 (Leonard) is visible with an extended tail near the image center as it appeared five days ago. The Earth is visible on the lower right, while layers of the Earth's atmosphere glow diagonally from the lower left to the upper right. The trails of two satellites can be seen in front of a myriad of distant stars that dot the background on the upper left. The faint bands of light running diagonally from the lower right to the upper left are auroras. Finally, the image also caught a meteor streaking just below the airglow. To see Comet Leonard yourself from the Earth's surface during the next few days, look toward the western horizon just after sunset or just before sunrise.

I am transparent
as an opaque glass.
My mind still cloudy,
with words I amass.
Words of frustration,
not joyful to me,
but words dispicable,
is what I see.

I do not need this
at my point in life.
Enough, already,
she is still my wife.

Can you come the morrow,
at a quarter past three.
I'll be alone,
she's sitting next to me.

Thank you

I sit and I write,
using paper and pen.
My favorite being,
a Pentel Energel with
metal tip, 0.7 ball tip.
I use refills,
to reduce the cost
and have new bodies,
in case one becomes lost.
I write in a Notebook,
capturing my mind's view,
as these words, now flow,
outward to be read by you.
Thank you for reading,
and the comments you make,
for my imagination lives on
with your love's sweet intake.

I am now worry Jerry. You did not mention if you had a “Plan B” notebook ….so many things could happen, like unexpectedly running out of pages, water, wind, curious critters , etc. etc 😊

Thanks for your concern. I do have extra notebook which I get from Staples when they are inexpensive. LOL

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

To some, it may look like a beehive. In reality, the featured image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a cosmic pillar of dust, over two-light years long, inside of which is Herbig-Haro 666 -- a young star emitting powerful jets. The structure lies within one of our galaxy's largest star forming regions, the Carina Nebula, shining in southern skies at a distance of about 7,500 light-years. The pillar's layered outline are shaped by the winds and radiation of Carina's young, hot, massive stars, some of which are still forming inside the nebula. A dust-penetrating view in infrared light better shows the two, narrow, energetic jets blasting outward from a still hidden infant star.

There is little controversy that honesty is a virtue. It is an excellence of character. It also promotes trust, fosters healthy relationships, strengthens organizations and societies, and prevents harm....Read more
