The comet with lots of clouds about shows a curved dust tail curving off to the upper right and a faint bluish gas tail at about 1 o'clock.. The crescent moon is setting behind the clouds in the lower left.
Comet NEOWISE just above the clouds with the setting crescent Moon below the clouds on the left. You can see the Big Dipper above and right of the comet.
Hey, I finally saw comet NEOWISE tonight from Kauai after getting out of the mandatory 14 day quarantine. Of course we had clouds around and I didn't have a tripod, but I improvised. Here's my image with some image proces
Just before sunset, I heard about a World View launch of a high altitude balloon launched about an hour earlier and dashed outside at the UofA to see if I could see it. It was a bright object low in the east-southeastern s
8 years ago today we had a memorial flyover of jets to honor the memory of Tom Gehrels, my boss and friend who founded Spacewatch. I did not know on that day that we had less than a year left with my friend David Harvey. He

Our 777 sits in the glow of twilight as we wait to board it for the trip from San Francisco to London's Heathrow airport on our way to Ireland.
Stopped by Aerolite Meteorite booth at the Gem & Mineral show but no sign of Geoffrey Notkin. That didn't stop us from buying some meteorites including a piece of the Chelyabinsk meteorite.
40 years ago today, I arrived in Tucson to study Astronomy at the University of Arizona. I visited the Flandrau Planetarium (on the left side of the photo) on that first day and I've been working at the Lunar and Planetary
We built our first house at the Scotti Ranch. One bedroom, no bath unless you count the hose outside for a shower and the bushes in the wash for a #1....
Sunset tonight from our Dragoon Mountain Ranch land behind a thunderstorm brewing over the Rincon Mountains.
Yes, that is the Sun setting on the left next to the tree. And it was raining in the valley behind the dome.
A lightning strike in the valley behind the dome with rain all around as well.
Not going to be opening domes anytime soon - a nearby thunderstorm is dropping rain in the area around Kitt Peak. Pretty sunset going on too.
Stopped by our Dragoon Mountain Ranch property and met one of the neighbors - Mr. Horny Toad was out enjoying the late afternoon sun:
While out looking at some land I found a car for Elon to use in his next Falcon-Heavy launch.
