The Pink Sky in the Video Dissolved into Red
Walking along the promenade near my apartment
Everything's better from above ... At the time of this sunset my daughter Zsia was on a flight landing at Newark Airport. She said the sight was spectacular but unfortunately she didn't take a picture.
Next month's conjunction will be even better because the crescent Moon will be even closer to Venus, only a fraction of a degree away, and Venus will be a crescent, too! Like the Moon, Venus has phases, and during next month's conjunction the second planet will be only 23% illuminated. Wide-field telescopic images will reveal two crescents side by side. ~ Spaceweather.com
Also from Spaceweather - Sunspot activity is increasing. Yesterday, sunspot AR2895 didn't exist. Now it's bigger than Earth. A movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows sunspot genesis in action.
Some of you may remember Solar Max years ago when we followed CME's and people wondered if one was going to take the planet out. Nope. It's always been about Plate Tectonics unless a CME sets things off.
As the sun set I took a video of the Venus-Moon Conjunction approaching the arches of the Verrazzano Bridge.
Thursday night another brilliant sunset called to me as I worked at my computer. I sent the pic to my daughter, Nikki, in Westport, CT who was walking her dog along the beach at the time and enjoying the same splendid view. We are all connected.
