Some serendipitous space beauty to start your weekend.

NASA's new PUNCH mission, designed to study the solar wind, just took this ethereal image of the Moon passing the (blocked out) Sun. The Moon's night side is facing us, but it's beautifully lit by Earthshine.

https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/punch/2025/05/12/nasas-punch-catches-first-rainbow-and-other-new-images/ #science #art #nature

$During commissioning, PUNCH’s NFI instrument captured this image of the new Moon as it passed by the Sun in the sky on April 27, 2025. The new Moon appears full, because it is illuminated by Earthshine (sunlight reflected off Earth). The image helped the PUNCH team confirm that the Moon will not obscure NFI’s view of the corona and solar wind. The dark circle near the bottom is the shadow of NFI’s occulter, which hides the Sun. The occulter, which was not yet fully aligned with the Sun, is surrounded by a narrow bright ring of diffracted light. Around that is a large, hazy circle of stray light glinting off the occulter (the Moon is inside that circle). Outside that is a small, dimmer region of the sky that is less affected by glint.$

Cover art for CD1 (a photo of a weathered shed behind a stone house in St. Marys), playlist laminated to inside card, a fuchsia CD and the 'BLUES & PEWS' box top all laid out on yhe self-healing cutting pad in my kitchen workspace. Lots if brown tones with the round blossom of fuchsia in the lower right corner.

After gluing together the cover photos (all mine) and inner playlists, I left them on top of an Elac hi-fi speaker, appropriately, to air before closing them up with the CD payloads within.

Goya’s Coded Love Letter to the Duchess of Alba

Goya neatly clothes himself in his own world of fantasy: He will have her in the end. In life, where the climate is much chillier, it was, alas, to be otherwise.

By Michael Glover

The Duchess of Alba. Inscribed "Solo Goya. 1797" in the sand and on the Alba and Goya rings. Oil in canvas.

The painting The Duchess of Alba (1797) by Francisco Goya depicts María del Pilar Teresa Cayetana de Silva, the 13th Duchess of Alba, standing full-length on a sandy shore.

She is dressed in a striking black lace mantilla over a vivid red gown, embodying both nobility and Spanish traditional fashion. Her right hand points to an inscription in the sand that reads “Solo Goya” (“Only Goya”), asserting the artist's unique authorship or perhaps hinting at a personal connection between painter and subject. The Duchess wears rings inscribed with the names “Alba” and “Goya,” deepening the intrigue surrounding their relationship.

Mary Cassatt Gave Women a Place in the Impressionist Movement

Mary Cassatt reshaped the art world by elevating everyday domestic moments into beautiful Impressionist works of art. Discover how she championed the visibility of women as both subject and artist and helped bring Impressionism to American museums.

Cassatt seated in a chair with an umbrella. Verso reads "The only photograph for which she ever posed. Courtesy of Durand-Ruel."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Cassatt#/media/File:Mary_Cassatt_photograph_1913.jpg

Cassatt is dressed in a sophisticated, perhaps slightly informal, attire, likely representative of the late 19th or early 20th century fashion. Her expression is serene, with her gaze directed slightly off to the side, as if lost in thought or observing the world around her. She grips an umbrella with both hands.

A dark, grim space that shows a concrete floor and nothing else. In the middle of the concrete floor is a neatly drilled hole, like a manhole without a cover. A ladder protrudes from the darkness of the hole. Beyond, the room extends into darkness. Hanging from above is a glowing sign with white letters. While the glow is predominantly white, it ranges across a number of different colors: yellow, green, pink. The letters say "Open". The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

As we kick off into summer, I always like to think back to just a few months ago when summer was just a dream, and cold was the present reality.

It's so easy to forget, especially in the heat of summer, that nature has her seasons, with different features in each one. Cold in winter, hot in summer, BUT, because nature and weather are unpredictable, surprises aren't unexpected.

May you get out there, often, to that beautiful place where you feel inspired, relaxed, calm, creative, and free to be who and what you are.

That's how good things get done on this planet -- by individual people who express themselves through who they are, and what they love to do.
