APOD 4.5

This extended shot of a total solar eclipse was taken over Svalbard, Norway. The picture had an interval of 3 minutes. It was a perfect interval, as you can see all the stages of the eclipse. Then the total eclipse looks like a gem in the sky. It is just so brilliant and elegant. This attraction was huge with eclipse seekers. Not only is this a rare event but it is also in a underpopulated place. The moon is the black dot in the middle. The shining ring around it is the suns corona. The suns corona is a peculiar aspect of it. In the layers of the sun it's supposed to get cooloer as it reaches its surface. It does, until it hits the corona, the corona layer heats up to 10 million Kelven. Thats 2/3 the way to fusion. The next total eclipse is going to happen in 2016 March. This will be visible form the Southeast Asia. Another cool aspect of this picture is that it has the lapse of each stage of the eclipse.

Giant Trees

This picture was taken by Niccolo Bonfadini. These giant pillars of snow and ice are not mounds of it. These are actually trees covered in snow and ice. To me they look like giant santa hats iwth the little ball at the top. This picture was taken in Finnish Lapland a few winters ago. One could percieve these treese to be aliens at night. These trees are truly very spooky and would be very cool (get it cause its cold) to see in person.

Apod 4.3

This picture must have been taken by a professional. It looks awe inspiring. ne can see the shadows play on the water and that is reflecting the lights from the brdge. Another cool aspect of this picture is the main attraction, the lunar eclpise. This is one of the four that have happened this year. It is the 3rd of the eclispse tetrad. This is one of the shortest lunar eclipse this century.

OMG WE MIGHT BE SENDING COWS TO THE MOON

Apparently scientists have been attempting to figure out how cows will survive on the moon. They also apparently have been studying this for decades. But after a long time they created the Lunar Grazing Model or LGM. The thing is, is that cows don't launch easily or cheaply, and there is no plan to launch cows into space yet. Astronomers think that rovers would be a more suitable way to explore planets. This picture is actually a sculpture called Mooooonwalk, which is apparently incredibly popular in museums. Btw NASA has not been planing to launch any cows into space, and this is an April Fools prank.
