The Lounge / RIP Mike Hughes

It seems that Mike Hughes' flight attempt today resulted in a crash.  You have to have a lot of respect with anyone willing to actually test his beliefs.  I was so hoping he would get his rocket to a height finally see if there was a curve or not.

RIP sir!

The Lounge / Jose, Maria, & Lee

I know some of you don't believe in satellites but I'm linking this anyway.  It's a very cool look at the current Atlantic storms.  The eye wall of Maria is impressive.  And, it's huge.   

This is from GOES-16.  You can zoom in & out and change time scales and loop speed.  Maria's current track look like it'll be similar to Jose.  I'm not likin' that very much.

It's a very cool website...that is if you believe in that stuff.

Weather is kind of a hobby...or if you listen to my wife and obsession.  I've got a cheap backyard weather station.

Technology, Science & Alt Science / Rainbow

A full circle rainbow.  You normally only see an arc because the bottom half is below the horizon.  A construction crew in St. Petersburg caught one on video.  Regardless of FE or RE this is very cool.  It's very rare to see and usually only seen from a plane.
