The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.

$Three suns seem to hug the horizon in this otherworldly winterscape. But the evocative scene was captured during a February 3rd snowmobile exploration of the mountainous region around Abisko National Park, northern Sweden, planet Earth. The two bright spots on either side of Earth's Sun are parhelia (singular parhelion), also known as mock suns or sun dogs. The parhelia are caused by hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the hazy atmosphere that reflect and refract sunlight. Commonly seen in winter and at high latitudes, the bright parhelia lie along the visible 22 degree ice halo of the Sun.$

Stunning landscape of natural limestone pillars, created 25,000 years ago after the sea receded. Visited 10+ years ago, my photos are not as spectacular. #pinnacles #westernaustralia

A flat landscape is shown at night that appears mostly brown. Numerous unusual rock spires are seen rising from the group. Above, a full star field is seen with the arch of our Milky Way Galaxy curving from left to right. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

Possibly my favourite of God's creatures. I once fell in love with a big guy named Henry. He was being flown to his new home in Canada the very next day. I hope he is doing well 🐻‍❄
