Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk, safely ended his 189-day mission aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday, Dec. 1 when he returned via the Soyuz TMA-15 spacecraft to Kazakhstan. Why are Canadians always invisible to US citizens?

I especially like "water Tight", "Volcano light Show",and "Transiting The Sun" These are all great images but those three really drew my attention. "Transiting the sun"really humbles the significance of man and his discoveries.Truly a transcending image. "Volcano Light Show" just captures a unnatural, or even extraterrestrial moment right here on our own planet, in the natural nature. And, "Water Tight" just captivates the imagination with a fancy display of colors and bent light that normally can only be created with the aid of computers, yet, is done scientifically. Just a surprising property of water that we normally don't get to see everyday.

I love the colors, it helps in understanding.

Wait, are those really magnetic monopoles? I thought monopoles were only theoretical...

Hairy ears remineds me of polyps corals. Does the electron scanning microscope produces actual colors like that?

Sometimes we heard about the "first moon walk" by "Neil Armstrong" is fake.. What do you think about it ?
