Despite the clouds today. I had a few seconds to grab some pics of the eclipse during totality.

Don't be alarmed by the sensationalized click bait title. It is interesting though.

Yet, this grand sight has an expiration date set for 2025 - when Saturn’s rings will vanish from view, not once but twice

It's been a long time in the works but it's finally ready. My Fiancé has launched her business. If you could pop over and give her page a like at Mystical Meow I'd really appreciate it. Also if you're interested in crystals/metaphysical, this weekend is the grand opening. Head to mysticalmeow.com and check it out. She's throwing some freebies in all orders placed this weekend.

I apologize for the long silence. There's been a lot going on the past year. Got some new gear, got engaged, and started taking nature shots when we go on trips. I have made the decision to add my nature shots to the site as well. Feel free to check it out.

The team is carrying out more research to figure out what is causing the bursts of energy, but the astronomers think it could be a so-called magnetar, which is a special type of "dead" star with an ultra-strong magnetic field.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. I have some time off and hoping I get a chance to work on some new content.

Something I took back in July, the quality isn't up to my standards to put it on the site but I did put the time into it so I thought I'd share it. This was taken from a little area off of 321 in the Allegheny National Forest Looking straight across you can see the Red Bridge fishing area. This was the original road before the Kinzua Dam was built and the Allegheny Reservoir flooded the valley. When the water is low you can still see the old road.

If anybody is lucky enough to not be under cloud cover tonight, a solar flare is making the norther lights visible much further south than usual. Check it out if you can. If you get pictures feel free to share them here. I'd love to see them.
