"In 20 years of science reporting I have never seen such pandemonium at a scientific meeting."

Check out the story of the discovery of the Great Attractor in this amazing article written in 1994 by Dennis Overbye for the New York Times: https://web.archive.org/web/20150526105256/https://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/23/books/whither-the-universe-sideways.html

I took this shot of Hollow Rock on Grand Portage and Lake Superior a decade ago.

Despite this spot being only about 45 minutes of my house, I seldom get there. Every year, I think that I should go photograph it in December when the sun comes through the hole, but then I end up doing other locations for the good sunrises.

The water was low a decade ago! You can't get this close now that water levels are near normal.

I logged on here yesterday for the first time in two weeks - thanks so much to everyone who has commented on my photos and sent messages. I hugely appreciate it, and wish I have had more time to engage.

Sorry for the lack of response - things are busy, as I have just moved house, and I'm running photography workshops and working on commissions.

I hope you are all enjoying the wintry weather if you have it! Long may it last

@neuralengine Oh that "scifi news" hashtag (#GalacticOnion) is fun, hope it catches on.

On 20 December the thin Waning Crescent Moon will appear close to the double star Zubenelgenubi (Alpha Librae). Should be a fine photographic opportunity. Look southeast from 5am. #Astrodon #Astronomy #Astro #Space #Astrophotography
