The Night Sky this month
2012 © by Dr Jamie Love This month we have a meteor shower but before we get to that, let's do some star gazing! April is often associated with birth so I thought that the "birth of stars" would be an appropriate theme for the April Night Sky this Month. Stars are made of matter and all matter has mass.

Martian Rock and Dust Filling Studied with Laser and Camera Scientists used the Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover in June 2014 to examine a Martian rock "shell" about one inch (two to three centimeters) across, embedded in fine-grained bedrock and with a dust-filled hollow interior. This graphic combines an image of the target, called "Winnipesaukee," with spectrographic results from using ChemCam's laser on a row of points including the rock, the matrix around it and the material filling it. The image merges a high-resolution, black-and-white image from ChemCam's remote micro-imager and a color image form the telephoto-lens camera of Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam). The ChemCam laser and camera atop of Curiosity's remote sensing mast were about 9 feet, 10 inches (3 meter) from Winnipesaukee when the instrument examined Winnipesaukee on the 654th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (June 8, 2014).

An amazing light show appeared, faded, then reappeared in greater glory along I-89 in the general area of Grantham, NH yesterday morning. Jann and I were “car pooling”—I had an assignment to photograph a yoga teacher, and Jann would drop off a quilt to be quilted in Newport on the way home. Jann first noticed a single sun dog. She made a few photos through a very dirty window made worst by the glare of the brilliant sun. I pulled over made a few quick photos and then we resumed our drive as the sun dog faded.
Introduction
Welcome to Tizag.com's HTML Tutorial! Here you will learn the basics of HyperText Markup Language (HTML), so that you may design your own web pages like the one you are viewing right now! HTML is not a programming language, but rather a markup language. If you already know XML, HTML will be a snap for you to learn. We urge you not to attempt to blow through this tutorial in one sitting. Instead, we recommend that you spend 15 minutes to an hour a day practicing HTML and then take a break to let the information settle in.
Circumhorizontal arc
Circumhorizontal arc in relation to 22° halo or circumscribed halo, Oregon Other currently accepted names for the phenomenon are circumhorizon arc or lower symmetric 46° plate arc.[1] The misleading term "fire rainbow" is sometimes used to describe these phenomena, although they are neither rainbows, nor related in any way to fire. The name comes from its appearance as a rainbow taking the shape of flames in the sky.[2][3]
