Happy Thursday! We're almost through the week! The star of today was 18 minutes before sunrise when the sky had this very nice combination of design and color, which dissipated shortly afterwards. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

If we don't rapidly phase out fossil fuels, we can say goodbye to coral reefs, the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and permafrost. The results will not be pretty.
