Eclipse

There is so much gloom and doom all around.
Not enough smiles and too many frowns.
We all could use a feel-good story. 
Enjoy and give Eclipse the glory.

Sometimes you gotta fake it

The manager of a large city zoo was drafting a letter to order a pair of animals. He sat at his computer and typed the following sentence: “I would like to place an order for two mongooses, to be delivered at your earliest convenience.”

He stared at the screen, focusing on that odd word “mongooses.” Then he deleted the word and added another, so that the sentence now read: “I would like to place an order for two mongeese, to be delivered at your earliest convenience.”

Again he stared at the screen, this time focusing on the new word, which seemed just as odd as the original one. Finally, he deleted the whole sentence and started all over. “Everyone knows no fully stocked zoo should be without a mongoose,” he typed. “Please send us two of them.”

Remember this…

Remember this…as you watch the Blue States and Sanctuary Cities strive to defund police and refuse to cooperate with ICE.
Remember this…when you watch the Crooked Soros Sponsored Judges release criminals back onto the streets to continue their crimes.

In 1933 Hitler appointed Hermann Goring Minister of the Interior.  His first orders were to defund and eliminate police departments so that they would not interfere with his Brown Shirts whose mission it was to riot, burn, beat up, and kill citizens in an effort to sway the elections.

The Editor:   Why are you changing focus of The Sphinx, LL ?

The Major Cat:   I’ve been called up to help in the Middle East, and don’t have a lot of free time.  One major benefit is to get away from politics for a while.

Thieves and Stolen Honor politicians like this should be in prison—at last count nine ( 9 BILLION ) was looted from American citizens, and this guy is a free man.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Andromeda before Photoshop
Image Credit: Kees Scherer

Explanation: What does the Andromeda galaxy really look like? The featured image shows how our Milky Way Galaxy‘s closest major galactic neighbor really appears in a long exposure through Earth‘s busy skies and with a digital camera that introduces normal imperfections. The picture is a stack of 223 images, each a 300 second exposure, taken from a garden observatory in Portugal during 2019. Obvious image deficiencies include bright parallel airplane trails, long and continuous satellite trails, short cosmic ray streaks, and bad pixels. These imperfections were actually not removed with Photoshop specifically, but rather greatly reduced with a series of computer software packages that included Astro Pixel Processor, DeepSkyStacker, and PixInsight. All of this work was done not to deceive you with a digital fantasy that has little to do with the real likeness of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), but to minimize Earthly artifacts that have nothing to do with the distant galaxy and so better recreate what M31 really does look like.
