I’m proud of this one.

I brought a solar telescope to Florida to capture a Falcon 9 rocket launch transiting the sun. While these have been captured before, never with the details of the sun’s chromosphere, which makes this one the first!

Since I was in Vero Beach this week, I was curious about region's #hurricane history. Interestingly, JEANNE 2004 is farthest-N known landfall of major (Cat 3+) on #Florida's East Coast. None N of Port St. Lucie. But JEANNE had fat core, so eyewall reached N to near Melbourne.

On Sunday I traveled to the middle of the desert to capture this: The ISS against our sun. What I didn't expect: the sun producing a magnificent flare at the same time

A once-in-a-lifetime shot I'm thrilled to share with you. See the uncropped shot or get the print in the reply
