Click animationt to go to current info on spaceweather.com

Four day animation of rapidly growing sunspot. It is now the size of the planet Jupiter. There is a possibility of an X-class solar flare from such a sunspot. An X-class flare directed at the earth. would be a major event that could trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. Such flares are thought to have triggered power blackouts in the past as well. Latest sunspot image from SOHO - More info from SIDC.

More Swoon

I need to take a photo exploration of Williamsburg street art. Here’s one I saw on Monday evening, shot with my camera’s flash. The artist is Swoon. Her group is the Toyshop Collective. I’ve collected all my Swoon photos on this page.

Tee Shirt Weather

It was tee shirt weather yesterday but like this woman I started out the door with a scarf and coat, fooled by the cloudy sky and recent cool temperatures. But I had a backpack to put mine in by the time I reached the Canal Street area where this was taken.
