Thanks! Yes, it is a photo. The moth was chilling on a window after sunset. The blue dots are out of focus apron lights.
They sure don't tend to do that, but there are still mundane explanations for this. An unintentional collision between the satellite and another object being one of them.
"I find it hard to believe they would use such a big satellite as an ASAT target," McDowell said.
Not because of Kessler syndrome, just your run of the mill space debris reentering the atmosphere and increasing the amounts of certain metals up there that contribute to ozone depletion. In other words, that may well happen even if we're lucky and avoid Kessler syndrome.
This one turned out a bit more blurry, but the aurora itself is too good not to post here.
These guys danced accross the sky, reaching quite far into the southern sky as well. Picture taken on 4.4.. I'm just mad that while I had hauled my tripod with me, I had left the camera mount back home :))). I stuck a bench into the snow and steadied my hand against that. A couple of these turned out surprisingly well.
Cirrus and Cirrostratus progressively invading the sky are a telltale sign of an approaching warm front. In this case it was an occluded front that was rolling in. It snowed that night.
Don't be decieved by the anvil like shape, heavy looking precipitation and icy look of this cloud! This is far from the size and power of an actual Cumulonimbus. But it is interesting in that it fits every criteria of a Cumulonimbus capillatus incus, except the bit about considerable vertical extent for the genus. I'm quite sure that this guy didn't raise its head much above 2 km AGL.
I suppose it could be classified as a Cumulus of some sort, but it really doesn't fit well under any genus. Our systems of classification are just something that we made up. Clouds are under no obligation to conform to them. The same is true for everything else in the universe as well.
Almost forgot to get back to you about that last part: Yes it did, but this wasn't that.
Here's a picture I took when the smoke was making a sunset unusually red:
This was a telephoto at the horizon at around midnight. The sun was only a bit above the horizon, so the lighting was similar to a sunset/sunrise.
Here's another picture of that same midnight, looking towards the sun.
Nah winters are beautiful up north. Sometimes also in the south, but only rarely around the southern coast.
Picture taken in August 2022. Fluctus, also known as Kelvin-Helmholtz wave clouds, form when wind shear causes instability in the (usually the upper) surface of a cloud. The formation is short lived and relatively rare. It can also only be seen well from the side like here. This video contains a good explanation of the physics involved here.
Some of the Cc is of the variety undulatus. Miscellaneous Cirrus in the lower part of the image.
Picture taken on 25.6.2023 at 01:27 local time.
A sun pillar is formed when horizontally floating hexagonal ice crystals (in this case within the Cirrus) reflect light. Kinda like the reflection of the setting sun over wavy water, but in this case upside down.
Sure, but the vast majority of people live in low lying areas and even then it doesn't shift that drastically. You need to climb a mountain to see the difference when it comes to applications of daily life.
Although now that I think about it. The same criticism applies to pretty much every definition of temperature that is based on the behaviour of matter. This also applies to Kelvin. Temperature is a property of matter and every type of matter behaves differently.
The thing to remember is that air is a great insulator. Air at 100°C isn't nearly as bad as say water or metal at the same temperature against the skin. In fact, the air that comes in contact with the comparatively cold human skin will cool down rapidly, forming a layer of cooler air around you and lessening the sensation of heat further.
100°C is nice. And what's a steaming session? Throwing water onto the rocks for steam every now and then is just standard operating procedure.
Kaverin puhe oli kyllä hyvä
The headline is clickbait since you don't even need to get past the paywall to see that "The website does not appear to be linked to Hamas". That domain is registered under Wix.Com Ltd., an Israeli software company. There is no hacking involved here, just an Israeli site masquerading as a Hamas site gloating with attrocities.
I think that this is part of a propaganda effort by Israel to capitalize on the October 7th attacks by maximising the emotional response from it. It's all in English, so clearly directed at western audiences. It's also quite on the nose with the caricaturistic portrayal of evil terrorist baby killers who do not understand PR.
If an actual Hamas site was hacked by Israelis, I'd expect the hackers to flaunt their victory by posting something the islamists clearly wouldn't (like idk pictures of bacon, a woman's ankles or maybe some dudes kissing).
As for an actual Hamas site, I'd expect a lot less displays of gore caused by Hamas and a lot more displays of gore caused by the IDF.
Sort of a continuation to that other post I just made here. Here's a picture I took last year of a spectacular sunset caused by Cirrus spissatus.. These clouds were quite high at over 8 km above the ground.
