Pugmum1 - A Bit Of Everything

This wet microburst, a torrential downpour akin to a bursting water balloon, was caught by Bryan Snider as it touched down in Arizona.

(4 April 1968) — The Apollo 6 Spacecraft 020 Command Module is hoisted aboard the USS Okinawa.

Seriously, I should not look at these while eating! "Skiing to the extreme 😏 #PeopleAreAmazing"

NASA has announced that it has found flowing water on the surface of Mars, which may hint at the possibility of life on the planet.

What a pair of sprites

I am fascinated by the poorly understood aerial electrical phenomena known as elves and sprites that form when charged plasma shoots way up to the edge of space above powerful thunderstorms. Some months ago we published the best shot we’d seen, but the latest expedition aboard the orbiting Space Station captured one that rivals any I’ve seen yet. The first obvious feature that we see above the blurred glowing lights of Southern Mexico and smudgy clouds is the glowing band of airglow surrounding the planet, another electrical phenomenon that looks like a weak aurora that we have covered several times before at http://on.fb.me/1xek96Z (with a complete explanation), http://on.fb.me/1MC62j0 and http://on.fb.me/1MHXjgP. Above the centre of the photo the brightly glowing moon and the constellation of Orion glow in the sky.

And then to the right, a bright glowing red jet of plasma is shimmering above a huge lightning burst on the ground. They are elusive from the ground, and careful observation of distant storm fronts and aeroplane flights are your best chance of glimpsing them. The second photo is part of a film taken from the ground in 2013.
