TGIF -Missed a light show

Solar maximum perhaps even into 2026

” Carter”

The sun is  still into solar maximum, A time of increased magnetic activity and storms that produce on Earth light displays known as Aurora, Borealis or Auroras moving up and down from the poles. This phenomenon can make some spectacular skyscapes, and since it’s particles  by the earth it makes our weather different by reflecting sunlight back in the space.

Infrared light, also known as infrared radiation, is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the human eye. It is commonly used in various applications, including night vision technology, remote controls, and thermal imaging. Infrared light has longer wavelengths than visible light, and it is often associated with heat. This type of light plays a crucial role in many scientific and technological fields, contributing to advancements in areas such as astronomy, medicine, and environmental monitoring.

Space telescopes

Space telescopes have revolutionized our understanding of the universe by providing unprecedented views of distant celestial objects and phenomena. Unlike ground-based telescopes, space telescopes are not affected by the Earth’s atmosphere, allowing them to capture clearer and sharper images of cosmic entities. They have enabled scientists to observe and study various astronomical phenomena, such as distant galaxies, nebulae, exoplanets, and other celestial bodies with remarkable precision.

Some of the most renowned space telescopes include the Hubble Space Telescope, which has delivered iconic images and made significant contributions to astrophysics, and the Spitzer Space Telescope, which specialized in infrared astronomy, unveiling cosmic mysteries hidden from visible-light observations. Additionally, the James Webb Space Telescope, set to launch in the near future, promises to further expand our cosmic horizons with its advanced infrared capabilities.

Space telescopes continue to fuel groundbreaking discoveries, deepen our understanding of the cosmos, and inspire a sense of wonder and fascination for the enigmatic vastness of space. Ai

The James Webb Space telescope is tracking light from a focusing star to where it’s points maybe taking the life giving light, there is an energy nearing creation. Comments about this dynamic create an expectation of a learning curve that may be very encouraging.

Stop line

A source at the ministry says that there are sensors in the pavement at the street lights on highway 8 Nicola Avenue here in Merritt. The sensors will change the red light to green but you must be behind the painted stop line stopped to activate it, and not past it waiting to turn. He said that some lights have cameras that do the same thing but you can also be out of the field of view for them to work.

Some old street lights are on arbitrary timers as well.
