Always, the beauty of the Sun
Technology has brought us many things, improving and extending our lives in countless ways. It brings us closer to the atoms and closer to the stars. My life in particular is made more beautiful though images of our star. The Sun is the only object in the sky that can be deservingly designated benefactor to all. Go to the SOHO website to see spectacular images you just will not see anywhere else. You can even find daily snaps of sunspots stretching back for the last couple of years (a favorite of mine).

Maybe we should celebrate El Sol day on June 25th as a warm and friendly counterpoint to our end of year cold weather holiday shenanigans. No sacrifices required!


The first sunspot of the year is a figure eight! Checkout for a closeup.
