1. You’re Playing the Divide and Conquer Game

Left vs. right. Black vs. white. Republican vs. Democrat. Citizen vs. Immigrant. Communist vs. Fascist. Have vs. Have Not. My Team vs. Your Team. Me vs. You.

There a thousand and one ways for a society to faction and split apart, but without community and unity we are lost, doomed and done. http://humansarefree.com/2017/08/3-signs-you-might-be-pawn-of-new-world.html

Tracking the evolution of a Game of Thrones character is always fascinating, from Arya’s transformation into badass assassin, to Tyrion’s transition from reluctant Lannister loyalist to right-hand man of the prospective Queen that would displace his own sister. In the case of Sansa Stark, we’ve watched a girl become a woman in the most difficult ways imaginable. Sansa’s endured the deaths...

NASA's EPIC View of 2017 Eclipse Across America | DSCOVR
Aug 22, 2017: From a million miles out in space, NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) captured 12 natural color images of the moon’s shadow crossing over North America on Aug. 21, 2017.

EPIC is aboard NOAA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), where it photographs the full sunlit side of Earth every day, giving it a unique view of total solar eclipses.

Glendale, CA

Once in a while a group of people showcase their wonderful crafted and restored cars. It is like a time travel back in time, with a little hint of the future.

The amount of love they put into each detail of the cars is amazing. This kind of passion is palpable all over the place. I hope they can see my "Tiny Planet" as an appreciation of their craft.

BTW, I'm safely back from this time-travel, it was nearly have century!

Escape From Totality -- Glendo, Wyoming
The total solar eclipse of 2017 in North America as seen from the vicinity of Glendo, Wyoming yesterday... This was taken just a few seconds after totality had ended, as the first burst of rays appeared over the edge of the moon. Totality itself was an incredible experience, but I thought the first few seconds just past totality were the most photographically interesting , because there's simply more going on, visually. You can even see a few solar flares in the 12 to 3 o'clock position.

It was amazing how instantly the entire experience changed between 99% totality and 100% totality. You knew the very instant that complete totality had been reached because it was literally as if someone had just flipped the light switch off, and everything changed from pseudo-daylight to pre-dawn in an instant, with the exception that the entire horizon (all 360º of it) glowed with a pre-dawn glow rather than just the eastern horizon. Crickets started chirping. The temperature dropped noticeably. The wind stopped. And it was altogether one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had. My only regret was that it was all so brief and rushed - my fingers were flying trying to find the best combination of camera settings and take as many photos as possible, and I was also doing my darnedest to just experience it as well. I was able to do both, but not with the leisure or calm I would've liked. Totality only lasted for 2 minutes and 27 seconds from my location.

At any rate, if you've never experienced a total eclipse, then it's totally worth doing so if you ever have the opportunity (no pun intended). :-)

By analyzing +NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of IC 10 spanning a decade, astronomers found over a dozen black holes and neutron stars feeding off gas from young, massive stellar companions. Such double star systems are known as “X-ray binaries” because they emit large amounts of X-ray light. As a massive star orbits around its compact companion, either a black hole or neutron star, material can be pulled away from the giant star to form a disk of material around the compact object. Frictional forces heat the infalling material to millions of degrees, producing a bright X-ray source.
