Event Horizon - Astronomical and Terrestrial Images

Home > Astronomical Images Most viewed - Astronomical Images Sunspots672 viewsThe Sun in this early-pre-totality eyepiece-projection shot is too big to fit into the frame, but the sunspots do show up well. Totality minus 7 minutes671 viewsC2 - 7 min, 18 sec First Contact669 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. M20 - The Trifid Nebula664 viewsA combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the lower, red portion), a reflection nebula (the upper, blue portion) and a dark nebula (which accounts for the gaps dividing the nebula into lobes). About 5000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. Totality minus 55 minutes664 viewsC2 - 55 min 40 sec Third Contact plus 41 Minutes664 viewsThis was my last photo of the 2017 eclipse. The Eclipse Nazis (aka site monitors), not understanding that eclipses don't end at Third Contact, were harassing us to pack up our gear and clear off the site. NGC6992 - The Eastern Veil Nebula664 viewsPart of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in Cygnus. Also known as the Network Nebula. First Contact plus ~20 minutes662 viewsThe Moon is taking a bigger bite out of the Sun. Post-Totality 1660 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. - The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Messier 90, Spiral Galaxy in Virgo656 views59 million light-years away. Contains little gas and dust and hence does not have much star formation; believed to be evolving into a lenticular galaxy. 11-1/2 Minutes after Third Contact655 viewsC3 + 11 min 37 sec Pre-Totality 6655 viewsAnd Baghdad darken and the bridge Across the silent river gone And through Arabia the edge Of evening widen and steal on 257 files on 22 page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 - 22 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => a487f9bd43f3f7ab7bb0dfcefc198e4a [am] => 1 ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.5 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.32 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = 'ff4fa20d609b69d991738ae41baba75c' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.87 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.49 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.21 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.19 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.19 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.19 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-04-30 17:16:48' [include/init.inc.php:448] (1.34 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.217.30' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.6 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.64 ms) [11] => SELECT name FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 2 [thumbnails.php:157] (0.22 ms) [12] => SELECT rgt, lft, depth FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 2 LIMIT 1 [include/functions.inc.php:44] (0.23 ms) [13] => SELECT cid FROM cm_categories WHERE lft BETWEEN 3 AND 8 [include/functions.inc.php:49] (0.23 ms) [14] => SELECT keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE category IN (2, 12, 13) [include/functions.inc.php:57] (0.19 ms) [15] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 2 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.16 ms) [16] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 3 AND 8) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (0.24 ms) [17] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 3 AND 8) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC, pid ASC LIMIT 12 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (26.67 ms) [18] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.27 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => 2 [page] => 2 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => 6ac24d2ad072383ce05f6a28c22e4484 [cpg16x_data] => YToyOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiJhNDg3ZjliZDQzZjNmN2FiN2JiMGRmY2VmYzE5OGU0YSI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO30= ) ==========================
