Photographing satellites needs always some preparation. Looking up the right time and location at the sky and adjusting the setting of the DSLR. The above picture is taken with settings ISO100 and 83s exposure time and afterwards modified using CS4.

Sun eclips march 20, 2015

Still 6 months to go to plan for the sun eclips. The eclips will be seen in Europe on march 20, 2015.
It is the last total eclips in europe untill 2026. Totallity occurs in a vary wide path of more than 400km but north of europe as in the Faroe Islands and Spitsbergen.  In Belgium we will be seeing a partial eclips with 80% of suns surface covered by the moon. The entire eclips can be seen in the morning of march 20, when of course the sky is without any clouds!

Meteorites at the American Museum of Natural History in New York

Beside animals, Dino's, culture, ... the American Museum of Natural History in New York has a also a big collection of meteorites. The classification is well explained and some really big meorites are presented.

I like also the new Hayden Big Bang Theater.

Together with the theater it shows a cosmic Pathway laying out the 13 billion year history of our universe and scales of the universe illustrating the size of the universe till the size of sub atomic particles.
