AM/FM/TV/VO/Mister/Weatherman. Seen and heard in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and around the country. Mrs. P's husband. Father of two sons, grandfather to 3 kids.
Mrs P says the 12 day strech I was away from a studio is the longest in…ever? We’re not sure. It’s been awhile. We had the sons, the DILs, and the grandkids all together, in a house by the big Lake they call Gitche Gumee. Rolled out of Wisconsin back home again just ahead of today’s terrible tornadoes, in a reminder Ma Nature never takes a day off. Back in most places tomorrow, and the rest later this week. Thanks to all my partners for covering my shows and weather updates. Happy to be back!
#space#nasa Have you contemplated your home star recently? Featured here, a Sun partially eclipsed on the top left by the Moon is also seen eclipsed by earthlings contemplating the eclipse below. This spectacular menagerie of silhouettes was taken in 2… https://t.co/HGAYS0RMPk
What to use for #Caturday? Let me sleep on it. Patricia Ann Collins says last Saturday was a good day for her kitty to take a nap. And on the same subject, I present one of dozens of pics Mrs. P took of me and the late, great Baxter suddenly sleeping!
Message or comment me with your cat snaps, and I'll share them with the class.
Sorry to hear about Janie Hodges, one of the remaining links to the classic Channel 4 in Indy that I got to be a small part of. She was still on when I got there in the 80s. I got to interview her and Cowboy once on the WRTV morning show in the later 90s. Saw her at an event about ten years ago. Sweet lady. Part of the Holy Trinity at 4: Cowboy Bob, Janie, and Sammy Terry. 😀 (and Bob Knight in the Fall and Winter lol.) So many characters in the Bluff Road building. I miss that. Only a half hour of news, which I think is what we still have now, but it just goes on longer, know what I mean?
#space#nasa Which of these is not a comet? You guessed it - the one on the right is a globular star cluster. The diffuse greenish coma of periodic comet 10P/Tempel 2 is at left in the frame. In fact the globular star cluster is Messier 30, also known a… https://t.co/OSsFSHIr7w
#space#nasa Rubin's COSMOS Field There are more than half a million galaxies in the central panel of this image from the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. This is the COSMOS field, a patch of sky several times larger than the full moon, first … https://t.co/3VkUlzCutj
#space#nasa What does the new sharpest image of our Sun show? Instability. To be clear, a certain kind of interactive process called the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). This instability can create waves and swirls when two streams flow past each ot… https://t.co/UArj5XZXaO
#space#nasa What causes unusual knots of gas and dust in planetary nebulas? Seen also in the Ring Nebula, the Dumbbell Nebula and NGC 2392, the knots' existence was not initially predicted, and their origins are still not well understood. Pictured here… https://t.co/IbtAMRCbpg
#space#nasa What's happening to this meteor? This bright meteor streak appeared and disappeared quickly during a long exposure of the Great Lacerta Nebula, seen faintly in red toward the center of the image. The meteoroid, likely a small pebble, create… https://t.co/43BN4NJLwE
#space#nasa What's happening to this cloud? Ice crystals in a distant cirrus cloud are acting like little floating prisms. Known informally as a fire rainbow for its flame-like appearance, a circumhorizon arc appears parallel to the horizon. For a circ… https://t.co/NQ7nCzPEKQ
We interrupt your nasty weather for #Caturday. Jackie Lynn sent a snapshot of "Leo being Leo." Not sure where Leo is. Coming out of a dryer? A spaceship? He looks dramatic lol. Also: From Elizabeth Woodward in Lebanon, her cat named James Robert chewing on a straw during county fair week:) Thanks for your submissions, and keep 'em coming!
