PICTURE POST II!

[Avro Arrow]

I unfortunately can't embed it directly, but yesterday's Astronomy Picture of the Day was actually a video, and is a ~1 minute timelapse of the aurora australis from orbit. Here's the link, if you're interested:

APOD: 2026 July 13 – Auroras from Space

A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

This photo is from the bottom level of one of the ‘cargo fuel’ tanks on the USNS Laramie. We were doing a final close-out inspection before closing it up.



My admittedly oddly-wired brain kept poking me, saying ‘cathedral’, when I took it.

I remember doing stupid stuff like this when I was little. I just wonder who is filming them? I hope it's not a parent.

And in one picturesque moment, Hawaii reminds me of what I was missing while working in Alabama…

I used to watch DeHavilland 515s scooping water off the Columbia like that during Oregon's fire season.

I see the Enterprise D in the clouds.
