Welcome to Trilobite Tuesday! Pictured is the Devonian-age phacopid trilobite Erbenochile erbeni. Some might argue that this critter has the most impressive eyes in the trilobite world! Not only does this Moroccan species feature towering 0.8-in (2-cm-) high eye stacks—each topped by a unique shading brim—but it also has a row of intimidating spines that run along its axial lobe.

The Armorer

I used two flashes for this. One lighting the front of  the mini figure, and one behind, giving the blue light from the forge which has nicely spilled out onto the floor this side of the forge door.

Here is a BTS:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:  Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.  At the going down of the sun and in the morning  We will remember them.

Excerpt from “For the Fallen” by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943), first published in 1914

Magnificent!

Total Eclipse: The Big Corona Image Credit & Copyright: Reinhold Wittich

Explanation: Most photographs don’t adequately portray the magnificence of the Sun’s corona. Seeing the corona first-hand during a total solar eclipse is unparalleled. The human eye can adapt to see coronal features and extent that average cameras usually cannot. Welcome, however, to the digital age. The featured image digitally combined short and long exposures taken in Exmouth, Australia that were processed to highlight faint and extended features in the corona during the total solar eclipse that occurred in April of 2023. Clearly visible are intricate layers and glowing caustics of an ever changing mixture of hot gas and magnetic fields in the Sun’s corona. Looping prominences appear bright pink just past the Sun’s edge. Images taken seconds before and after the total eclipse show glimpses of the background Sun known as Baily’s Beads and diamond ring effect. The next total solar eclipse will cross North America in April of 2024.

I love photos like this that just make you ask the question, "What's through there?"
