Blue moon ...

What *is* that, Chris?

Coyote, this is a blue moon as seen through a window screen. Looks as though it's moonlight sitting inside a round wire container. Or a streetlamp?

Humming bug?

Weird creature

Is that a hummingbird moth? (I think that's the name...)

That must be it. We couldn't figure it out. Couldn't tell before I got the pictures in the computer, then found out it wasn't a little birdy. I knew they weren't supposed to be nocturnal. That's the first one of those I've ever seen, Thanks.

I'm not in this picture but it's essentially what I did tonight. Billy, a geophysical scientist (on the left) and a couple of ship's crewmen have the seismic sparker up on deck and are trimming the electrodes before putting it back in the water. They're about as far back on the ship's fantail as you can get; there's nothing behind them but ocean. The seismic sparker is a powerful but very simple-to- understand device. It's trailed behind the ship by a cable which supplies it with a massive jolt of electricity every few seconds. The jolt makes a big spark, "loud" enough to travel all the way down to and through the bottom of the ocean, reflecting off the subbottom layers, and returning to the sea surface where the signal is received by hydrophones which are also trailed behind the ship. Based on the delay of the received signal, we can measure where the subbottom layers are. Billy had a bad night yesterday. The sparker cable parted explosively, and while they were fixing it, the hydrophone array (one of only two we have) was sheared off accidentally and lost. This and other pictures of us at work can be found at the Naval Oceanographic Office Facebook page.

Oh no, that really sucks. However, I'm fascinated by what you're doing! Although I knew such devices existed, I've never heard the term, "seismic sparker." I love learning something new.

Moon taking a break.
{Photography.94.511}: Donald Dozier {donaldpd} Fri, 18 Sep 2015 16:54:41 CDT (HTML)
Just hanging around awhile.
{Photography.94.512}: Donald Dozier {donaldpd} Fri, 18 Sep 2015 16:56:57 CDT (HTML)
Bye for now. See y'all later.

Hahaha! Clever captions! Nice timing on those shots. It's surprising how quickly the moon seems to move when you're trying to get just the right shot.

Here are some I got. None red.

Very cool! I love the halo around it. And the last one reminds me of the PacMan video game :-)

Lovely! We just had clouds.
