There is also a video link to go with it. From NASA: Strange Clouds at the Edge of Space August 25, 2008: When in space, keep an eye on the window. You never know what you might see. Last month, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) witnessed a beautiful display of noctilucent or "night-shining" clouds. The station was located about 340 km over western Mongolia on July 22nd when the crew snapped this picture: <a href="http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-17/hires/iss017e011632.jpg"></a><img id="fullSizedImage" alt="iss017e011632_strip.jpg picture by truemaskedwabbit" src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/iss017e011632_strip.jpg?t=1219716043"> Above: Noctilucent clouds photographed by the crew of the ISS: <a href="http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-17/html/iss017e011632.html">more</a>.

"It was like a UFO," he says.     I would imagine real life scientists and real life meteorologists when having first looked up and seen a phenomenon such as this would be looking up rocking on their heels with hands in their pockets and eyes squinted also wondering what it could be. For Steven Spielberg it was a scene of a wormhole the Aliens were punching through space/time and they were heeeeere.

It’s been raining en mass here in Quebec and the consequences are clear by having lost my vegetable garden, save one tomato plant that might give fruit sometimes during the winter. But the rest of the garden drowned. As well as a lot of my rose bushes and other flower seeds I had planted. Since the middle of May I had been pretty much playing tent with my rose bushes and still some of them I’ve lost, some look like they might come back by next year and some I actually managed to save.

The narrow path of totality stretches from arctic Canada through Greenland, Siberia, and Mongolia, and comes to an end in China, where millions of people will witness the event. Even more people will see the partial eclipse, visible from almost all of Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia and a corner of North America. The action begins at approximately 09:20 UT (5:20 am EDT) when the Moon's shadow first hits Earth in northern Canada and begins its rapid sweep toward China. <a href="http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/?action=view&current=Mohamad-Soltanolkottabi1_strip.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/Mohamad-Soltanolkottabi1_strip.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> (view large) <a href="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/Mohamad-Soltanolkottabi1.jpg">http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/Mohamad-Soltanolkottabi1.jpg</a> This morning in Iran, Mohamad Soltanolkottabi photographed the Moon tantilizingly close to the rising sun.

That pond in fact becomes another world of varied dimensions. Not just the pigments and spectrum of the fish, but all the other living creatures that make that pond an ecosystem-inhabited world that only a microscope would verify what you see and speculate with your mind. And as simple as the pond appears with the fishies swimming in and out of their caves and through their man-made obstacle course. Apart from the lakes of Missouri or the Great Lakes of Canada, yet integrally woven together with our planet, space and time. <a href="http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/?action=view&current=0025.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/0025.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/?action=view&current=0029.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/0029.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/?action=view&current=0030.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/0030.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/?action=view&current=0026.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/0026.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/?action=view&current=0024.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/0024.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Smile You're on Candid Camera And once you’ve thought about it, the whole thing makes sense, right down to the Gamma Rays from Hyper Novas, Space dust from Super Novas, neutrinos passing through you every second of every day to asteroids that have impacted our plane... http://truemaskedwabbit.multiply.com/calendar/item/10019/Feeding_the_Fish_is_good_for_your_Brain_and_The_2008_Perseid_Meteor_Shower Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:14:54 -0000 Pagliacci and Dr.Lisa Pagliacci and th rest of the students are getting so big.

Of course I ran inside to grab the camera, by that time two more hawks joined. MrWabbit started up the chainsaw to get the hawks away. Our birds are used to hearing MrWabbit and his chainsaw (smiles). I saw something very interesting not only did the parent birds shrill out the warning but also used themselves as bait and flew towards other trees and away from where the nests were. Circling halfway back and then flying off even a bit further, and then further. The hawks took the bait and the baby birds are all well and safe once more. http://truemaskedwabbit.multiply.com/photos/album/28/Saved_by_the_Chainsaw Sun, 6 Jul 2008 14:19:06 -0000 Three White Lions arrive in Québec, Canada <a href="http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/?action=view&current=scan0001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/scan0001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/?action=view&current=scan0002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd115/truemaskedwabbit/scan0002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> I’ve received an invitation today by the president of Parc Safari Monsieur Jean-Pierre Ranger, to come on July 9th 2008 – 11:30 a.m. and have a peek at the three newly arrived white lions.

Now he needs to stay at home for a while and then he’ll have the wilderness of the Taiga Forest once more. But in the meanwhile he’s enjoying a comfy bed in the troop’s playroom and today I decided with the supervision of Master Murphy so that Spunky inadvertently does not cross paths with the feral The Big Boy, he should have some time outside. During this time Spunky very much so decided to become part of the troop. Somewhat staying at the edge of the troop’s circle waiting to be accepted by all, Spunky nevertheless edged closer and closer. There was a little incident that could have lost him the admittance and that was when the dominant female Tobie, the apple of Master Murphy’s eye, caught a field mouse and brought it back to her son, Timber to enjoy.

A little place of my own, where I can sit and listen to the rain or read or listen to some soft music not to drown out the sound of the rain. I had to draw the blinds because of the contrast of outside and inside, but as a rule the blinds are open and I can see outside to the patio, the Taiga Critter Spa (aka the pond), up ahead towards the back of the land and towards the right. When my two kids, Vikki and Kenny were still at home and had their friends over, playing their music and Video games or watching movies in the TV room you can very well imagine that this little room was heaven on earth lol.

Master Murphy having gotten stuck in the tree last week having shown his adopted sons how to climb trees, once more yesterday he chased Rascal up the tree but decided to come down quickly and safely after having learned his lesson well of how trees can reach out and grab ya he decided instead to jump on a lavender baby bush which cracked and broke under his weight teaching his adopted sons all about instant deforestation. http://truemaskedwabbit.multiply.com/photos/album/19/Sleepy_Saturday Sun, 4 May 2008 16:15:40 -0000 The Project The Project is to build a bird bath well also Lord Michael and the troop along with chipmunks and squirrels will enjoy it. The idea is to get a wall of stones and wood with slow running water at the far side of the bird bath pouring into the bird bath. I’ll keep on taking pictures as the project progresses. The Alcove between the Kitchen and TV room – it’s still too cold to put flowering plants outside so I have to wait. The carpet is for Lord Michael and the troop and their little muddy feetsies to get cleaned off there before they go into the house. The colour of the carpet is actually grey but the heating lamp is on for those kitty cats that live in the barn as a rule and come to visit the rest of the troop. I’ll be posting more pictures soon. http://truemaskedwabbit.multiply.com/photos/album/18/The_Project Sun, 4 May 2008 13:35:40 -0000
