A large floating prominence at the edge of the Sun, photographed last tuesday (27th Aug 2024) at 08:56 UTC. It was made with an H-alpha solar telescope, the image is a false colour image.

I put the Earth in this image (to scale) for a size comparison. You can find an unedited smartphone image (made with the solar telescope) of the Sun and the prominence in the comments.

“Heaven and Hell” the sequel! 😃😎

These 3 photos could possibly be the best 3 Aurora photos i have ever taken

I knew what i wanted, I knew where i could get the shot and how i could get the shot, i knew what needed to happen for this to become possible and i knew it could happen based on the nights strong Aurora stats!

This Volcano view faces south, so for the Aurora to move from the North (Northern Lights) to become Southern Lights then the Aurora Oval has to become powerfully active and strong in order to be able to move southwards towards the UK for it to drop above or behind the Volcano for this shot to become remotely possible from this location

And the Aurora did exactly what i predicted it would do, all i had to do was to be in the right place at the right time and hold my patience and i knew i could get a killer shot. But i never expected it to display such beautiful blues, Aquas, greens, pinks above an Orange, yellow and red Volcano Eruption and reflect all those colours in a lake that was still like a mill pond on a rare windless night in Iceland😍

Once in a lifetime i said…. but this is 4th time i have nailed this now😍🔥🌋✅

Meet Eugene Bostick, a retired farm owner. He made a train all by himself that he uses to take stray dogs on enjoyable rides in his neighborhood and the nearby woods!

“I seen this guy with a tractor who attached these carts to pull rocks. I thought, ‘Dang, that would do for a dog train.’ I’m a pretty good welder, so I took these plastic barrels with holes cut in them, and put wheels under them and tied them together,” Eugene continued. “Whenever these adorable dogs hear me hooking the tractor up to it, man, they get so excited.”🚂🐶🥰

A secret door

Lindholm Høje, located near Aalborg in Denmark, is one of Scandinavia’s largest and most important Viking burial sites, offering a window into the past that is as fascinating as it is mysterious. This ancient site, used from the Germanic Iron Age through the Viking Age, contains over 700 graves and approximately 150 stone ship settings—stones arranged to outline the shape of ships, a symbolic gesture meant to honor the deceased and guide them to the afterlife.

The site reveals a complex picture of Viking burial customs, featuring both cremation and inhumation practices that evolved over time. What makes Lindholm Høje particularly striking is its remarkable preservation; for centuries, it was buried under layers of drifting sand, protecting it from the ravages of time until modern excavations in the 20th century brought it to light. Among the graves, archaeologists have found a wealth of artifacts, including weapons, jewelry, and tools, offering valuable insights into Viking daily life, social structures, and beliefs.

Lindholm Høje stands out not just for its scale but for the stories it tells about the Vikings—a society that was not only fearsome warriors but also skilled craftsmen, traders, and farmers. As you explore this site, the stone ship settings and burial mounds serve as a powerful reminder of the Viking era’s reach and its deep connection to both land and sea.❤️❤️

The annual "Firefall" at Horsetail falls in Yosemite. This happens once a year when the sun lines up perfectly to reflect off the falls this way, making it look like a 'firefall' instead of a waterfall😍🔥

Rome is home to the world's oldest doors still in use—a pair of monumental bronze doors cast around 115 AD during Emperor Hadrian’s grand reconstruction.

These ancient doors, each an impressive seven and a half feet wide and twenty-five feet high, stand as a testament to Roman engineering. Crafted entirely from solid bronze, they are so precisely balanced that a single person can effortlessly push or pull them open, even after nearly two millennia.

A few months ago, people taught me that newlyweds often plant sycamore trees on both sides of the path leading to the house, then put them together to symbolize that two people become one.
Today I saw it for the first time.❤️❤️

The border between Canada and the U.S. is just a clearcut line in the forest. This is above Eureka, MT

The border between Canada and the United States is one of the longest international boundaries in the world, stretching over 5,500 miles (8,900 kilometres). In many forested regions, the border is marked by a distinctive clearcut line, creating a visible boundary that can be seen for miles. This clearcut is an intentional man-made feature, maintained by both countries to ensure that the border remains clearly defined, even in the most remote areas. The line is typically around 20 feet (6 meters) wide, cutting through forests, mountains, and wilderness areas, often creating a stark contrast against the surrounding natural landscape.

One such section of this clearcut border is located above Eureka, Montana, near the Canadian province of British Columbia. In this region, the border runs through dense forests, and the clearcut line creates a striking visual effect as it slices through the landscape. The line is more than just a visible marker; it represents the peaceful and cooperative relationship between the two countries. Both Canada and the U.S. are responsible for maintaining their respective sides of the border, ensuring that it remains free of trees, shrubs, and other obstructions.

This clearcut border is not just a geographical curiosity but also a symbol of the unique relationship between Canada and the United States. It is a reminder of how two nations, despite their differences, can maintain a peaceful and well-defined boundary across vast and often challenging terrains. For those visiting areas like Eureka, Montana, this clearcut line offers a fascinating glimpse into the practical and symbolic efforts involved in maintaining one of the world's longest borders.

Well, sat in the van today on my dinner break to eat the hard boiled eggs which I cooked this morning.

This is usually a pretty dull/borderline miserable affair but today I was rather taken aback as upon peeling one of them I found an egg inside of an egg!

I've never seen this before and after a quick Google search apparently it's quite a rare occurrence!

Now i'm not sure this is the correct group for such a spectacular event as it may be considered by many to be the polar opposite of dull but where else do you post about such anomalies?

Edit - A picture of the inside egg cut in half has been added as requested

The Hartashen Megalithic Avenue, hidden deep in Armenia’s rugged terrain, is one of the world’s forgotten ancient wonders. Believed to be 6,000 to 8,000 years old, this mysterious site consists of towering stone monoliths, meticulously aligned across the landscape. Was it a ceremonial path? An ancient observatory? Its true purpose remains a mystery.

Unlike Stonehenge or other famed sites, Hartashen has escaped the spotlight of mainstream archaeology, its secrets still buried beneath the soil. The towering stones, standing guard over the landscape, hint at a forgotten civilization with a sophisticated grasp of space and ritual. Yet, despite its age and potential significance, Hartashen remains largely unexcavated and unexplored.✨✨
