Calgary Centre - Iridium Flares Iridium Flares "Iridium Flare" is the name given to the phenomena of sunlight reflecting off a particular type of satellite in Earth orbit called an Iridium communication satellite. These "flares" are very common, but sometimes startlingly bright if you are not aware that one is scheduled to be visible from your location. Iridium Satellites Iridium satellites circle the Earth along a near-polar orbit once every 100 minutes at a speed of about 16,832 mph (27,088 kph). When not flaring, the satellites can just be seen crossing the night sky similar to a dim star. What are they used for? The flares? What does an Iridium Flare look like? The photo below is a composite of 6 pictures I took at the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party on the night of August 25-26, 2006. An Iridium flare I photographed August 22-23 2009 at Elkwater Want to impress someone? Determining if, and when an Iridium flare can be seen from your back yard is easy, thanks to the people at the web site Heavens-Above.com. KABOOM!
SOLARHAM.com / Solar Cycle 24 / Spaceweather / Amateur Radio VHF Aurora Website - Nightly DIY Tie Dye Denim Whether it be shibori or with bleach, warm weather brings out our utmost desire for tie dying – especially when it comes to bleaching as working outdoors for this project is a necessity. Inspired by Isabel Marant‘s tie dyed sweatshirts, shirts and jeans, we grabbed our favorite denim shirt and a bottle of Clorox for one of our favorite summertime projects. You’ll need:a denim shirtbleachrubber bandsrubber glovesplastic container If the shirt hasn’t already been pre-washed, run it through the washing machine first. Start binding the sleeves first. After the sleeves are tied, crumple the body of the shirt. Pour 3 quarts of bleach and 3 quarts of water into a plastic container. Let the shirt sit for approximately 15-20 minutes. Throw it in the dyer and your denim tie dye shirt is ready to wear! (Paige Paloma Leggings $299, Madewell Denim Shirt $78; all images by HonestlyWTF)
