  6. Estas son las imágenes más cercanas de la Luna jamás capturadas.

    El módulo de aterrizaje lunar Blue Ghost de Firefly Aerospace orbita a tan solo 60 millas (100 km) sobre la superficie lunar, ofreciéndonos una vista impresionante como nunca antes.

    #luna #espacio #cosmos #universo #astronomia #ciencia #blueghost #firefly #misionlunar #exploracion #vistas #fotografia

  7. La belleza es caprichosa y, a veces, solo hace falta mirar desde el ángulo correcto para descubrir colores que ni imaginábamos.
    Mirad qué joya de vídeo: la Luna enseñando sus costuras en alta definición, con esos tonos minerales que parecen sacados de un cuadro abstracto.

    Es curioso cómo algo que vemos todas las noches puede seguir sorprendiéndonos de esta manera.
    A veces estamos tan metidos en nuestras cosas que se nos olvida levantar la vista y alucinar un poco con lo que tenemos ahí arriba, flotando en el silencio.
    Un recordatorio visual de que, por muy caótico que sea el día a día, siempre hay algo inmenso y espectacular ahí fuera esperándonos.

    Disfrutad del espectáculo, que estas vistas no se tienen todos los días.

  8. A scenic excursion through Iowa’s Loess Hills

    Tranquil serenity as seen from the hill town of Castana, Iowa

    Winding up and winding down through farmlands, villages and small towns. The 220 mile long Loess Hills National Scenic Byway is pleasant road trip along the western ridges of Iowa between Sioux City and the Missouri border.

    Windmill of time

    One of a few places on the planet where Loess Hill geography occurs, this scenic corridor is a trip through time, both geological and historical. The photos accompanying this text are just a few of those taken while traversing this lovely byway last week.

    Source: visitloesshills.org

    “Formed by deposits of very fin, windblown soil at the end of the last ice ages, there are not your average hills.”

    Source: https://www.visitloesshills.org

    With so many sites and vistas along the byway, it would take multiple days or trips to visit them all. In the half-day we spent there, we hardly scratched the surface. There are a number of loop road and side-trip options that can take the adventuresome beyond the byway’s two-lanes of pavement into adjoining/nearby parklands, forests, grasslands, and other natural areas.

    Roadside remnants

    So, if you are tired interstate highways, high speeds, and heavy traffic, consider a dose of Iowa tranquility and grace along the serene Loess Hills National Scenic Byway. Additional images from our excursion are provided below. Peace!

    Over hill and over dale

  9. #November 26, 1810
    #OTD Henry Winthrop Sargent, American #Horticulturist, is born.

    He named his 20-acre #Estate on the #Hudson River #Wodenethe (woody promontory). A reporter said it was a #Wretched, bad #Name.

    Henry used #Trees to frame beautiful #Vistas. After 40 years, he reflected,

    “The first ten years, I did everything wrong. The next five I spent correcting my mistakes.”

    Wodenethe became a #Sanatorium. Rosemary #Kennedy, #JFK's disabled #Sister, lived there in #Secret in the 1940s.
