Last Enceladus Plume Observation
This movie sequence of images is from the last dedicated observation of the Enceladus plume by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

The images were obtained over approximately 14 hours as Cassini's cameras stared at the active, icy moon. The view during the entire sequence is of the moon's night side, but Cassini's perspective Enceladus shifts during the sequence. The movie begins with a view of the part of the surface lit by reflected light from Saturn and transitions to completely unilluminated terrain. The exposure time of the images changes about halfway through the sequence, in order to make fainter details visible. (The change also makes background stars become visible.)

Enceladus is Saturn's sixth largest moon, only 157 miles (252 km) in mean radius, but it's one of the most scientifically compelling bodies in our solar system. Hydrothermal vents spew water vapor and ice particles from an underground ocean beneath the icy crust of Enceladus. This plume of material includes organic compounds, volatile gases, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, salts and silica.

"Geologists have analyzed volcanic data from the Messinian salinity crisis in the Mediterranean Sea, when the Strait of Gibraltar was blocked and the Mediterranean temporarily isolated from the Atlantic. After testing various scenarios, the geologists concluded that the increase in magmatic activity could only be explained by the almost total drying out of the Mediterranean".

The Eagle Nebula from Kitt Peak

Explanation: From afar, the whole thing looks like an Eagle. A closer look at the Eagle Nebula, however, shows the bright region is actually a window into the center of a larger dark shell of dust.

Through this window, a brightly-lit workshop appears where a whole open cluster of stars is being formed. In this cavity tall pillars and round globules of dark dust and cold molecular gas remain where stars are still forming.

Already visible are several young bright blue stars whose light and winds are burning away and pushing back the remaining filaments and walls of gas and dust.

The Eagle emission nebula, tagged M16, lies about 6500 light years away, spans about 20 light-years, and is visible with binoculars toward the constellation of the Serpent (Serpens).

This picture combines three specific emitted colors and was taken with the 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona, USA.

Nexus 6P/5X will now get 2 more months of security patches till November 2018

Welp, my 6P took a dump tonight and went into bootloop. It suddenly froze on my way home from work, so I held the power button to reboot it. The Google logo came up for about 20 seconds, then went away, and then instead of seeing the colorful dancing dots, I got the Google logo again.

When I got home, I started a support chat with a nice Project Fi rep, who talked me through getting into the recovery menu, wiping the cache, and then factory resetting, neithe of which worked. She told me that the only remaining option would be to ship a replacement device. I expressed concern about getting another 6P that might have this well documented issue, and she said that my replacement device would be a 128 GB Pixel XL!

Project Fi has had the best customer support of any phone carrier I've ever been with. Their reps are courteous and willing to help you solve their issue. They also clue in really quick on the fact that I'm not a total noob. They actually work with me on solving the problem, as opposed to other call centers that slavishly stick to a script and require me to perform all the usual troubleshooting steps that I already did before contacting them.

This will be my fourth device since joining Project Fi. My first 6P had a microphone issue. My second got dropped and broke the screen, which was covered by the Device Protection plan and required a reasonable deductible to fix. This one ran very well until I got the Oreo update last week, when things started to get a little squirrelly.

I gotta say, I will miss the front facing stereo speakers on the 6P. But it's a small loss considering that, at no cost to me, I'm being upgraded to a phone with twice the storage that will continue to get software updates where the old one will not. (I am a little miffed that they didn't let me choose the color, as I've never liked phones with white front bezels, but that's what dbrand is for, right?)

Aurora over Norway

Marcus: "Climbed the local mountain at sunset on the chance to see auroras from 500m...a different perspective over the city. As soon as I got to the top, the auroras started, and were fantastic, so many pictures with a 360 degree view all around. I didn't know which way to look. Auroras lasted for 2 hours....coming down the mountain in pitch blackness was....interesting."
