The minute leading up to totality is so incredibly eerie.
Like a vivid dusk where nothing looks quite right. Then everything goes dark yet you can see the glow of a sunrise in every direction. When you look back up you see this glowing ring around a black hole in the sky. The corona. The sun's atmosphere. As you look you start to realize that it has structure. That the glowing ring isn't uniform, but is made up of streams and filaments. They almost look like wings. Now that I'm back home I did my best to tease out that structure so you could see it to. :)

#RPGaDAY - Day 23 - RPG with the most jaw-dropping layout.
This one took me some thinking until I picked up Dresden Files off my shelf. It's the fact that this book represents an actual book from the fiction and includes annotations, footnotes, highlighting and post-it notes from characters in the universe that caused my jaw to drop.

The Hobbit: Riddles in the dark collection
1.
What has roots as nobody sees,
is taller than trees,
up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?
2.
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ, then they stamp,
Then they stand still.
3.
Voiceless it cries, wingless flutters,
Toothless bites, mouthless mutters.
4.
An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face
"That eye is like to this eye" said the first eye,
But in lowplace not in high place."
5.
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follow after,
Ends life, kills laugher.
6.
A box without hinges, key or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside it hid.
7.
Alive without breath, as cold as death,
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.
8.
No-legs lay on one-leg,
Two-legs sat near on three-legs,
Four-legs got some.
9.
This thing all things devours:
Bird, beasts, trees, flowers,
Gnaws iron, bites steel,
Grinds hard stone to meal,
Slay king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
Please write the number of the riddle with your answer.
If possible, give all your answers in just one comment. (Re-edit them)
This is just for fun, I'm sure most of you already know the answers anyway xD
Still, answers will given on Saturday, 26th August.

Shipwrecked AU
[[Closed RP for +Arthur Albion]]
Waking up slowly, Alfred uncurled from his thick nest of leaves and grasses. The shadows were still black and deep as he slipped from the crevice in the cave wall down to the cold, stone floor. The pale light of dawn had only just began to peak through the slim crack serving as the entrance to his hiding place. His cave was not easily visible when looking directly at the cliff-face rising nearly thirty feet into the sky. The elevated nest was protected from the few land creatures crawling or slithering across the island, and the climb up was rather treacherous if one did not know the places to step. The location was ideal for the small boy. Alfred could sleep easy knowing predators would not reach him. Grabbing a long, pointed stick laying on the ground near the entrance to the small cave, he shuffled out of the cave. Climbing along the now familiar footholds to the top of the top of the crest not far from his front door, Alfred paused to rub the sleep out of his eyes with the palm of his hand before continuing the walk down along the slope to the beach below.
The boy had an untamed look about him. Blond hair, once the bright color of wheat, was now dull with dirt and tangled in knots. The greasy thin strands were uneven around his ears and neck, nearing his shoulders in length. Alfred had tried to cut it once, but this had proved to be more effort that it was worth so he let his hair be. Fair skin, once pale and soft, was now tanned by the burning sun and hardened from exposure to the elements. Small hands and feet were thickly calloused allowing him to grip the hard surfaces of the rock face and walk on sharp rocks without noticing any discomfort. The clothes of his old life had been grown out of long ago; the rags were now indistinguishable from the shirt, waistcoat, trousers, and stockings they started out after withering away. The now fragile pieces of cloth were used sparingly. The coat he had been wearing, however, had held up better. It kept Alfred warm on many cold nights before eventually becoming too threadbare and small. Their primary use now was part of the bedding of his nest leaving him to depend on the dryness of the cave and small fires to keep warm. Learning to consistently light a fire had been a long process of trial and error. Before he washed up here on the island, it was never a skill he had needed to know; now lighting fires was almost second nature.
Alfred had been shipwrecked here on this small island since he was six years old. The vessel had been bound for America with his small family ready to begin a new life in the British colonies. The journey was long, and he had been seasick for the first few weeks. When he was finally well enough to move around the ship, he quickly felt trapped. The crowded ship and smell below deck often drove him up to the open air. A storm had tossed him overboard. Alfred had no idea if his family or the ship had arrived in America or sunk below the waves that day. The memories were fuzzy at best. At some point, probably when he hit the hard water, he had blacked out. Waking up on the empty beach, he did remember feeling afraid, equally empty, and terrifyingly alone. The first few months he had cried thinking of his family almost constantly; now he could barely remember their faces. It didn’t take him more than a few days to scope out the island when he finally did get around to it. He was entirely alone and without other humans. That was five years ago; Alfred was currently eleven years old.
Wading through the shallows, Alfred climbed up onto the slick rocks lining the shore before jumping farther out to reach a pool of calmer waters. It was almost like a small lagoon, blocked by a reef from the ocean tides. The water was fairly clear allowing him to easily see the fish idly swimming below. Crouching on top of the rock, he poised his makeshift spear above his head before driving it down into the water quick as lightning. The fish scattered as the stick was caught between a cluster of rocks, sand, and corals along the sea floor. Grunting in annoyance, Alfred retrieved his spear as he silently bemoaned his lost breakfast. Standing up from where he had been crouched to go find breakfast elsewhere, something moved in her peripheral vision. His head snapped around for a better look, only to freeze as he realized what he was seeing. There on the horizon between the sea and the sky was the fuzzy outline of a ship under great white sails standing out proudly against the all the blue.
Elation rose in uncontrollable waves in Alfred’s chest as his heart hammered. It was his family! They had come back for him! Sprinting along the rocks back towards the sandy beach, Alfred never took his eyes off the ship. He yelped in surprise as he tripped. Pain raced up his legs as rocks scratched him all over, scraping his bare back as well when he tumbled along the ground back into the water. Head breaking the surface once more, his excitement was equally doused. This couldn’t be his family. Why would it have taken them so long to come for him? Why would they look for him at all if they didn’t know he was alive? Swimming back to the beach, Alfred climbed up onto the sand still watching the approaching vessel. A sudden suspicion rose in him. Who was coming and why? Growling low, he turned to scamper off farther inland to the cover of the trees. They couldn’t stay. This was his island! His home! No one would take it from him! He was ready to defend it from this invader.

I developed this handy Astrophotography rig simulator for Bintel that ties in a few different calculators I've been using online, particularly the ideal sampling measurement and the Field of View calculation and preview. It works for scales from planetary to deep sky with a few common preview targets for scale. All written in PHP and HTML5.
This link pre populates one of my setups (Celestron 9.25" Edge HD with Hyperstar and QHY12 CCD) but you can change the inputs to whatever you like to test your setup.

As Above
These two images are from the same point, on the right of the sun, Red Kachina is in the alpha sky survey.
The other is sdss-III Sloan digital sky survey, Blue Kachina is in this immense blue sphere on the left side.
Special, bring it on, all the way.
NI.BIRU is a cube that whence, is in motion revolves and rotates, and creates an orb, giving the impression of a globe or planet structure.
The word NI.BIRU is from the ancient Sumerians as found in the Chaldean, Accadian, Aramic and Ashuric as Nabara to raise, to elevate, to go up.
NI.BIRU does have an environment, only those genetically calibrated for transformation and transfiguration will be transported there.
So, NI.BIRU is multi-dimensional, holographic, cubed, Tetrahedron, Metatron, Mir (pyramid) shaped Star-Station.
There are more than one NI.BIRU(s), 6 satellites also shadow the main Star-Station.

In the Star-Station(s) physical appearance the composition of NI.BIRU is;
Antenna at the top
1 of 4 stones, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, placed at the top part of the craft
Solar panels the size of pin heads, top and bottom
4 magnetic force areas (they look like panels) the panels are in the middle part of the craft with the Emerald stone in the centre
In the middle that rounds around the cube is a magnetic conductor
Hologram beam at the base
Jupiter sized
Cloaking device
Crystal top frame, then middle splits and the bottom also has a crystal frame.
There are many names of the same source, reflecting the different time periods, different interpretations from the different cultures and civilisations that recorded and interacted with the Supreme Beings.

Noisy Miner
For #NewBirdPoker this week hosted by +Dusty Gedge and created by +Phil Armishaw. I have gone with Wednesdays theme on, by or over a tree to join in with other great images I have seen, even though it is Thursday here in Australia.
The Noisy miner is in the Australian wattlebird family and is a territorial and active nectar feeding bird, this one was enjoying the flower spikes so much it didn't care about me photographing it.
