Pre-Totality 5449 viewsAnd now at Kermanshah the gate
Dark empty and the withered grass
And through the twilight now the late
Few travelers in the westward passSep 07, 2019

Post-Totality 3403 viewsCome! And in the fires of Spring
The winter garment of Repentance fling;
The Bird of Time hath but a little way to fly
And Lo! The Bird is on the wing!

Post-Totality 1491 viewsThe Moving Finger writes, and having writ,
Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

Post-Totality 2404 viewsBut at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.

First Contact484 viewsAt 12:39:58.1, local time, the Moon starts to encroach on the disk of the Sun. Since there is not much to say about partial phase eclipse images, I have captioned them with stanzas from Archibald Macleish's poem "You, Andrew Marvell" - a magical piece which best conveys the awe and wonder of the stunning natural spectacle we know as a total eclipse of the Sun - and, in the case of the post-totality shots, a few verses from other metaphysical works.Sep 06, 2019

NGC 7009 - The Saturn Nebula454 viewsA planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius, at a distance of about 5000 light-years, with a superficial resemblance to the planet Saturn. This image does not do it justice, because a much larger telescope is required to resolve the complex internal structure of the nebula.Sep 01, 2019
