• Channing "Russell" Tatum

  
  [CinemaRatty] Latest Articles — Authority: 170
  This just in: Channing Tatum to star in a remake of Gladiator . "That movie is so old " a studio executive whined, "Time for a reboot!" The star suggested bringing sexy (shaved head) back but producers felt his skull wasnt shaped enough like Russell Crowes so a pseudo caesar haircut would have to do! Actually ...

• Peek-a-moon

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  I don’t have a whole lot to add to this amazing shot from Cassini of Saturn’s moon Rhea reappearing from behind the giant moon Titan: [Click to entitanate.] Except: coooool. Titan is over three times the size of Rhea, and Rhea was more than twice as far from Cassini when this was taken, making Rhea look ...

• What Metadata Reveals the Photographer Inside

  
  Fleeting Glimpse Images Weblog — Authority: 118
  Using the metadata filters on your photograph library can tell you a lot about the type of shooter you are and the subjects you tend to prefer. The amazing feature about metadata and programs which wrangle metadata is that they allow for analysis in minutia of your shooting habits. It so happens, I am a [...]

• A sun pillar gooses the sky

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  Regular readers know I’m fascinated with sky phenomena. On December 26, 2009, around 4:30 p.m. local time, I happened to look out my office window and saw a gorgeous beam of orange light shooting straight up into the sky out of the sunset. I rushed outside with my camera and got this shot of it: Isn’t that ...

  Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Here are some shots from my travels around beautiful, beautiful Scotland. The shot above is of the piper on the border of England and Scotland.

• Seasons E-rings!

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  [It was either that title or "E-ring in the New Year".] Here’s an unusual shot from the Cassini spacecraft: Saturn’s faint, diffuse E ring , seen almost edge-on: I like this picture! First, we’re used to seeing Saturn’s rings looking sharp and well-defined, but this ring is fuzzy. It’s huge; it ...

• Merry merry

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  Who needs to dream of a white Christmas when you live in Boulder? But as a devoted astronomer, I need a little polychromaticism in my life, too. Enjoy a fun and happy holiday, folks. P.S. Last year’s holiday message still holds, too.

• Ring shadowplay on a Saturn moon

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  This is simply too cool: the shadow of Saturn’s rings moving across the face of its tiny moon Janus . This animation is made up of images taken by Cassini (of course) in August. At that time, it was the equinox on Saturn, so the Sun was shining straight down on Saturn’s equator… which happens to be the ...

• Vampires and thrillseekers rejuvenate dead stars

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  I have a tale of death, near death, and undeath to weave for you, but first, gaze upon the jewel-like beauty of the glittering denizens of M30: This image was taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope. I had to cut it and compress it drastically to get it to fit on the blog, ...

• Holey rollers

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  I pay a lot of attention to weird things, and to weird weather. I thought I had heard it all: mammatus clouds, inversion layers, parhelic arcs. But I can still be surprised! For example, I would’ve sworn up and down that snow rollers — giant rolls of snow that look like huge white Ho-Hos — were fake. But they ...

• Crescent Moon over Tablas Creek

  
  Tablas Creek Vineyard Blog — Authority: 116
  When I left the vineyard today, at the time of day when the sky is lighter than the ground but not so much that its not photographable, the crescent moon was hanging over the Tablas Creek winery building.  I grabbed the camera, and got a shot I liked. The weather has changed again; it was sunny but cold and ...

• The blue clouds of the red planet

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  I post a lot of pictures here from Hubble, Spitzer, and other massively-funded large observatories. But it doesn’t take a huge, multi-billion-dollar project to create amazing astronomical images. Proof in point: Emil Kraaikamp is one of the more gifted astrophotographers I’ve seen. He has a 25 cm (10″) ...

• Obama sets a good example

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  I love a President who gets it. In general, science, and in particular, vaccinations: Yeah, he got his novel H1N1 vaccination, just like my daughter did a few hours ago, and just like I will as soon as they are available for adults in my area.

• Mayon volcano ready to blow?

  
  Bad Astronomy — Authority: 716
  Mayon is a volcano in the Philippines that has been rumbling quite a bit lately, and scientists think it may be on the verge of a catastrophic eruption. They’ve issued a Level 4 alert; the only higher alert is Level 5, which is when a volcano is actually and actively erupting. This is serious : 45,000 people have ...

• Hit the slopes

  
  STEVENHARTSITE — Authority: 131
  How clever of me to start work on a bookstore just before the biggest snowstorm to hit Highland Park in a few years. When I woke up this morning, I was responsible for not just one but two sidewalks! But once the snow was shoveled and the salt was sprinkled, the slopes of Donaldson Park beckoned.
