This is a real MRI imaging sequence. Through the brain. I have never seen it add any value, never showed me anything that I wasn’t able to see on the other sequence. I only like it because it’s so sparkly and has a liquid metal appearance.

Another fabulous way to celebrate the #Solstice
6 month, long exposure pinhole camera Solargram.

Paper wet - part was beginning to disintegrate from water intrusion. Had snow & wind storms & lots of rain May/June 2025.

Pinhole is tiny - I was surprised paper was so wet. Very pleased with result - even more pleased I got the angle right.

Lots of western painted turtles soaking up some sun at Elizabeth Hall Wetlands today. Possibly the easiest place to spot Alberta's only native turtle.

"The behavior described here is an impressive feat of intelligence, going a long way to explain the species’ ability to successfully colonize such unusual and dangerous environment as urban landscape"
1/8 A button on the traffic light to catch doves

Using new adaptive-optics techniques, researchers have created ultra-high resolution images of the Sun's corona--and the results are astonishing.

This video shows "coronal rain": loops of magnetic plasma arching out from the Sun, cooling, and flowing back down. 🧪🔭

5 stars. No notes. I have almost never seen a news program call out its parent organization like this. (Also, I cannot stress how important it is to watch NETWORK if you haven't already).
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.
