NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 2016 October 23
What’s that in the sky? An aurora. A large coronal mass ejection occurred on our Sun five days before this 2012 image was taken, throwing a cloud of fast moving electrons, protons, and ions toward the Earth. Although most of this cloud passed above the Earth, some of it impacted our Earth’s magnetosphere and resulted in spectacular auroras being seen at high northern latitudes. Featured here is a particularly photogenic auroral corona captured above Grotfjord, Norway. To some, this shimmering green glow of recombining atmospheric oxygen might appear as a large eagle, but feel free to share what it looks like to you. Although now past Solar Maximum, our Sun continues to show occasional activity creating impressive auroras on Earth visible only last week.

Summary: Sequel to ‘Pyrite Moon.’ Four years have passed, and life marches on for the Tracys and co. But something strange has been happening in the Pacific, and W.A.S.P. are keeping secrets about it… Cross-over with Stingray in the loosest sense of the word. You don’t need to be familiar with it.
TAG/TOS crossover.

It didn’t take much to figure out how to work the little sub. As Jeff hurtled Four down the runway towards the blue freedom of the sea, he winced. He knew what his Gordon would say about calling Four the little sub. He was pretty sure the other Gordon would feel the same.
I’m sorry, Gordon, he thought, not quite sure which aquanaut he was apologising to more. But I can’t stay here anymore.
Plunging into the water, Jeff activated the ballast control and adjusted the hydroplanes to send the sub down, down, down.
“Alright,” he thought. “Part one of plan is complete. Now to figure out part two…”
He had shut off the comm. system to keep the fury of the elder Jeff Tracy away. The younger Jeff couldn’t blame him. I’d react in exactly the same way myself. But he did need to activate the comm. because, in this strange world, he had only one friend - although friend was likely too strong a term in reality.
Jeff’s fingers lingered over the controls as he steeled himself for the ire that was to come.
He pressed the button.

The Great Carina Nebula : A jewel of the southern sky, the Great Carina Nebula, also known as NGC 3372, spans over 300 light-years, one of our galaxys largest star forming regions. Like the smaller, more northerly Great Orion Nebula, the Carina Nebula is easily visible to the unaided eye, though at a distance of 7,500 light-years it is some 5 times farther away. This gorgeous telescopic close-up reveals remarkable details of the regions central glowing filaments of interstellar gas and obscuring cosmic dust clouds. The field of view is over 50 light-years across. The Carina Nebula is home to young, extremely massive stars, including the stars of open cluster Trumpler 14 . While Eta Carinae itself maybe on the verge of a supernova explosion, X-ray images indicate that the Great Carina Nebula has been a veritable supernova factory. via NASA

The Perseus Cluster, 240 million light-years away, which plays a B, 57 octaves below middle C. Two days ago, it was announced that a mysterious X-ray signal emanating from the galactic cluster could be a sign of a dark matter candidate, a sterile neutrino.
