Great illustration - and funny as well! Pay attention to the end of it!

Waxing Crescent Moon

Quick backyard shot with my Nikon D7000 and an AF Nikkor 70-300 ED lens. Only post-processing includes the cropping of the picture into a square format. Otherwise it is the JPEG format straight from the camera.

Simple backyard shot. Really like the moon crater exposure during the waxing gibbous moon phase! On the top-left edge the Appennine Mountain Range is visible, next to part of the Imbrium Basin and the Archimedes Crater.

Took a quick picture of the full moon in the backyard last night.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving with family and loved ones!

As fragile as a soap bubble seems, these films have remarkable powers of self-healing. The animation above shows a falling water droplet passing through a soap film without bursting it. An important factor here is that the water droplet is wet–passing a dry object through a soap film is a quick way to burst it, as those who have played with bubbles know. The droplet’s inertia deforms the soap film, creating a cavity. If the drop’s momentum were smaller, the film could actually bounce the droplet back like a trampoline, but here the droplet wins out. The film breaks enough to let the drop through, but its cavity quickly pinches off and the film heals thanks to the stabilizing effect of its soapy surfactants. (Image credit: H. Kim, source)
