My brother subscribes to NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. From time to time he sends me one that he particularly likes - like this one I'm sharing with you today just for fun.
As he says, it is "bee-you-tiful." I think this fits in well with the Active Rain group, Thankful Thursdays.
Good morning Lottie. This is a photograph that will open your eyes! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day!

THis link is not working Astronomy Picture of the Day.
There is an annual amerature astronomy conference at Ames every year. My brother in law, an astronomer at Goddard, has been lobbing congress to build an observatory on the moon for years. Obama saw his proposal movie and commented: very interesting. You can manage the funding...

Very cool. Lottie. I've seen the Northern Light when we lived in Minnesota buy only once and not nearly so spectacular. I believe there were some supposed to be visible recently in many parts of the US.

Dorie Dillard and Sam Shueh - sorry about the broken link. I'll try to fix that tonight.
Do you know where this one is from? I've seen some of Norway that make me want to hop on a plane.

Hi Ryan Huggins - Thousand Oaks, CA - taken from the Lofoten Islands, Norway. Wouldn't that be great to witness in person?
Hi Marte Cliff - the photo made me smile when I received it, so I thought I'd pass it on to my Active Rain friends. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Agreed! Norway has many places that look absolutely amazing to visit.
Tammy Lankford, Dorie Dillard Lise Howe - I replaced the link; it's working now for me; hope it does for you, too. The link takes one to the picture of the day, which changes daily.
Hi Wayne Martin Sam Shueh Jeff Dowler CRS - I repasted the link; hope it works for you now.
Lottie Kendall - wow! amazing picture - and yes, I can understand why that 'bee-you-tiful'!

Indeed, Beth Atalay - our wold is beautiful even when it's not as dramatic as that aurora borealis picture.

NASA's astronomy picture of the day site is one my brother has enjoyed for a number of years. From time to time he sends me a photo that especially grabs him, like this one, Debbie Reynolds

I was thinking that was what it was, Lottie, but didn't know where it was taken. To see that is on my bucket list...when my hubby and I go to Alaska.
