Stars and nebulae, highly commended: Electric Threads by Shaoyu Zhang

This full-spectrum image of the Spaghetti nebula unveils the faint and elusive nature of this supernova remnant, hidden behind a vast cloud of dust that obstructs its emission light. To enhance its visual appeal, Shaoyu Zhang dedicated considerable time to intensifying the blue and green hues and achieving added depth.

Our sun, winner: Active Region of the Sun’s Chromosphere by James Sinclair

This photograph from Utah in the US shows the #chromosphere, the most picturesque part of the sun. Composed of hydrogen and helium plasma, it is manipulated by the intense and tangled magnetic fields of the sun. The chromosphere does not just change day by day, it changes second by second, which is why solar astrophotographers become obsessed with it.

As the sun doth sink 'tween tower and age-old walls,
The plaza basks in gentle, warm orange embrace.
In tranquil eve, the city waits, as nightfall calls,
Preparing for nocturnal symphony to grace.

Sunset in an Ferrara's Piazza Trento e Trieste, where the 'kiss of the sun' bathes the cobbled path in a warm, golden light. Silhouettes of historic buildings and a classic watchtower stand against the glowing sky. Pedestrians become dark figures in the sun's embrace, casting long shadows that blend with the outlines of ancient architecture. The tranquil moment captures the romance of the day's end, as the sun's farewell touch graces the heart of the city with a fleeting, amber radiance.

Chasing the Sun by Richard Cohen, 2010

The Epic Story of the Star That Gives Us Life

In the grand tradition of the scholar-adventurer, acclaimed author Richard Cohen takes us around the world to illuminate our relationship with the star that gives us life. Drawing on more than seven years of research, he reports from locations in eighteen different countries.

#Sun

As he soon discovers, the Sun is present everywhere--in mythology, language, religion, politics, sciences, art, literature, and medicine, even in the ocean's depths. For some ancient worshippers, our star was a man abandoned by his spouse because his brightness made her weary. The early Christians appropriated the Sun's imagery, with the cross becoming an emblem of the star and its rays, and the halo a variation of that. Einstein helped replicate the Sun's power to create the atomic bomb, while Richard Wagner had Tristan inveigh against daylight as the enemy of romantic love. In this splendidly illustrated volume packed with captivating facts, extraordinary myths, and surprising anecdotes.

What I love about this bit of history is that it means the first non-linear video editing system was done on a #Sun-1 computer running #SunOS.

"Almost a religious moment"

#tree #clouds #sun #photography

The silhouette of a leaf covered tree stands beneath a cloudy sky as the watery sun tries to push through. I think it has a religious feel as the tree holds up its "arms" to holy light from above.

Alright, I give up. Dear Fediverse #retrocomputing folks, I've been looking for a SPARCstation IPX or IPC for quite some time; anyone around who'd be willing to sell one? Preferably within Europe (I've found one offer on eBay, but it would be from the US and I don't have any confidence in overseas shipping right now.) RT for reach, please 🤞

P.S. I'd be even happier about a SPARCstation IPC or SLC, but those are literal unobtanium 😭

🧼🔬 14-year-old Heman Bekele developed a revolutionary soap that reactivates immune cells to fight skin #cancer, inspired by memories of people working under the harsh Ethiopian #sun.

His #invention costs just $0.50 to produce compared to $40,000 cancer treatments, and he's now working at Johns Hopkins to bring it to underserved communities worldwide.
