  8. My first Aurora Borealis

    Exciting times… my phone pinged and it was a neighbour inviting all out little lane community to come out and see what the night sky was doing!

    I’ve never before seen the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, and it was remarkable to see them at our 51.6ºN latitude and with the naked eye!

    With the camera, it was even more spectacular, and these are long exposure shots, processed only to reduce the distortion of an ultra wide lens (Sony 16-35mm f2.8) and tone down the highlights from the adjacent community centre.

    all the shots are from our front gardenIn the background, the Cotswold EscarpmentClouds rapidly took centre stage, but the lights shone throughA gigantic green candle flame!which split and headed off to the eastI used a torch to catch Janet puffing green thought bubblesbut inevitably I had to get into the picture!

    Borrowed from the BBC

    Monday’s stunning aurora was the result of a severe geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) – waves of charged particles that erupt from the sun’s surface.

    As they approach Earth, they interact with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, creating the colours we see in the night sky. Oxygen atoms glow green and nitrogen red, blue and pink.

    We are currently in a period of high solar activity, called solar maximum, during the sun’s 21-year cycle. The sun has more sunspots which emit CMEs and solar flares – waves of electromagnetic radiation – and so we see more aurorae on Earth.

  15. Borealis - Arctic Expedition ist eins der Spiele, die wir spontan auf derSpiel gekauft haben. Wir hatten erst überlegt ob wir es wollen und haben uns dann wegen der Karten mit den Papageientauchern entschieden es zu kaufen. Eine gute Entscheidung.

    Wir sind auf einer Arktisexpedition und wollen dort Tiere erforschen und um sie nicht zu stören nutzen wir verschiedene, der Situation angepaßte Transportmittel.

    Unsere Forscher werden durch die gespielten Karten verschoben und so immer wieder neu gruppiert. Es ist also ein Forscherverschiebe und Carddrafting spiel.

    Strategischer als es im ersten moment aussieht. Denn sind nicht die richtigen Forscher auf einem Feld, kann ich dort keine Karte spielen und das kann manchmal richtig ärgerlich sein. Denn wenn ein:e Mitspielende:r ein offenes Ziel erfüllt hat eins selber nur bis zum Ende der Runde Zeit auch das Ziel zu erfüllen. Danach wird es entfernt. Und das können die entscheidenden 5 Punkte gewesen sein.

  16. Machina Kore – Ghosts of Everest Review

    By Kenstrosity

    Identified as “Groovy Power Metal” in our promo bin, Irish independents Machina Kore promise something that pushes past genre convention while still delivering high-octane, high-quality steel. With their latest release, entitled Ghosts of Everest, Machina Kore offer up ten tracks (two of which are remasters of earlier single releases) across roughly an hour—fairly standard if we use power metal as a baseline. Thematically, Ghosts of Everest tackle an emotional subject matter largely surrounding the highs and lows of life as brought on by both forces beyond control and our own actions/reactions, and of resilience and growth only ever manifested by perseverance. The question remains, would a release like Ghosts of Everest persevere in the midst of a crowded field of steely wares?

    One thing is for certain: Machina Kore is not your standard power metal record, and claims of groove earn more than their keep. In fact, Ghosts of Everest is more groove than power, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The power of riffs is strong with this one, bolstered further by uncharacteristically meaty guitar and bass tones which approach death metal or sludge in crunch and heft. However, song structure and arrangement more closely follow the blueprint of riffy power metal innovated by Nevermore, after a lurid dalliance with alternative names like Sevendust1 and Nonpoint. A sense of grandeur not unlike Borealis runs through many of these numbers as well, contributing to the 5-7 minute average song length and winding choruses. Altogether, the experience is an unusual mix that took some getting used to, but there’s merit to Machina Kore’s execution here that proves Ghosts of Everest’s concept holds water.

    Ghosts of Everest offers many cool moments, often separated by wide swaths of material that range from decently engaging to meandering. Its first three songs proper (excluding the overlong, but gentle into “Silver”) offer the best encapsulation of Machina Kore’s sound when it works best. Swaggering grooves, tectonic riffs, and serviceable choruses allow these tracks to strike while the iron is hot, impressing upon its audience its unorthodox sound and generous helping of crushing guitars. And while those heavily distorted guitars shine throughout, it’s not until the meat of the record that they make their biggest impact. A massive one-two punch, “Goliath” and “Death Mask” offer energetic grooves, thunderous tones, and dynamic shifts in style and structure. Nonetheless, they feel unified with the material surrounding them, which allows for smooth transitions in and out. In a different way, epic closer “Ghosts of Everest” makes a mark as well; this time, striking use of melody cooperates with the album’s finest vocal display to exit on a powerful note capable of selling listeners on a follow-up spin.

    Unfortunately, those aforementioned swaths of meandering material conspire to unravel immersion and redirect to boredom. Every song preceding “Goliath”—and several afterwards—opens with at least a minute and a half of repetitive jamming. While they do a great job of creating an initial burst of momentum, inertia gets the best of them quickly, coming close to a standstill before finally hitting the gas again. This problem persists in bouts across Ghosts of Everest, with wandering numbers “Alpha Luna” and “Breathe” offering some decent to very good ideas every now and then, only to be undone by long stretches of composition unsure of its direction or purpose. The occasional guitar solo alleviates this problem to some degree, in concert with some clever drumming (this is primarily what helps “Death Mask” stand out, in fact). Alas, it’s not quite enough to carry 6 minutes plus of uninspired material. As a final note, the albeit competent post-grunge vocals aren’t always the best fit for this sound (“Stone to Farewell”), with the one caveat that they often inspire a fair measure of nostalgia (“Sober”).

    All that said, Machina Kore has a ton of potential, and it wouldn’t be too difficult for them to realize it. Their biggest hurdle going forward is one of writing and of editing, wherein songs need tightening, streamlining, and focusing. All of the right elements are there, from tone to riffcraft to the unlikely melding of disparate styles. They just don’t quite gel into a final product that feels greater than the sum of its parts yet. With time and a little perseverance, I’ve no doubt that Machina Kore can bring me to the peak next time around.

  17. Last night, there was something wrong with the #Hiawatha train set when I took the Hiawatha from Chicago to Milwaukee, so they had us on the #Borealis train set (a two-level train with a lot more legroom). I had never been on that second platform before. #Trains #Milwaukee

  18. #aurora #borealis pics from 10/10/2024. I took a bunch of pics, because it is generally more likely that the Devil goes down to Georgia, than the Aurora Borealis shows up here. I was shocked that we were able to see something! Subtle, but night mode (long shutter exposure) on the cell camera captured them.

    I have no idea what caused the appearance of some of the shapes in some images (light pollution interference, gremlins, our allergen-laden air, who knows?) I would love it if someone would explain this phenomenon to me.

  19. T Coronae #Borealis, also known as the Blaze Star, is a binary star and a recurrent #Nova about 3,000 light-years away in the constellation Corona Borealis.

    Astronomers are eagerly awaiting the next outburst of T Coronae Borealis, which is predicted to happen sometime in 2024.

  21. #PhotoOfTheDay: Meteor #Borealis

    A single exposure made with a camera pointed almost due north on August 12 recorded this bright Perseid meteor in the night sky west of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

    Doubling the wow factor for night skywatchers near the peak of this year's Perseid meteor shower auroral activity on planet Earth was enhanced by geomagnetic storms. The intense space weather was triggered by flares from an active Sun.

  22. Astronomers and stargazers are eagerly awaiting the appearance of a "new" star, which will burst into view in the skies any night now. The T Coronae Borealis nova will soon appear above our heads for the first time in 78 years. Live Science has more: flip.it/ZkMJc8

  23. According to this Facebook post, a Siemens Charger ALC-42 is on the tail end of today's westbound #Amtrak #Borealis, the first time that type of locomotive has been on the train

  24. A slightly weird piece in the Star Tribune about the possibility of more trains on the #Amtrak #EmpireBuilder / #Borealis route to Chicago. It will take more time to do than us peons would like to see, but more service is being studied strib.gift/0wies44yf

  25. NORTHERN LIGHTS POSSIBLE:

    Thanks to the latest #solar #flare from the Sun earlier this week, the #Northern #Lights will be quite strong the next several nights.

    The #Northland will have some #clouds at times, but there should be some decent #viewing opportunities, especially when the #Aurora #Borealis peaks Thursday night.
