As Shadow protects, the Flame ignites and the passion swells from within. I wield both the Shadow and the Flame at my discretion, to my advantage. I am a male Dominant in a committed bond to My Only.This blog displays many of my inner thoughts and/or desires.

Sunset at the North Pole… Moon was at closest point to earth. Rare to see the sun below the moon.
NASA Telescope Snaps Best-Ever Pictures of Sun’s Atmosphere
A NASA telescope snapped the best-ever images of the sun’s million-degree outer atmosphere during a brief spaceflight this month, agency officials say.
The High Resolution Coronal Imager, or Hi-C for short, captured 165 stunning pictures of the sun’s corona during a 10-minute suborbital flight on July 11. The telescope focused its gaze on a large sunspot, a temporary blemish on the sun that appears dark because it is cooler than the rest of the solar surface.
Huge solar flares and blasts of plasma called coronal mass ejections (CMEs) often erupt from sunspots. Hi-C’s photos could help researchers better understand the solar atmosphere and its potential impacts on Earth, project scientists said.
Visualizing the Onslaught of a Solar Storm
The dramatic impact of a coronal mass ejection on Earth and Venus has been visualized.If you were in any doubt as to the awesome power of the sun and its impact on the planets of the solar system, you need to find the time to visit a planetarium that’s showing the movie “Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth’s Climate Engine.”
This NASA-created fulldome, high-resolution movie describes how the sun generates a protective “bubble” around our solar system, repelling some of the nastiest interstellar high-energy cosmic rays. However, our protector has an angry side.
Is That The ‘Death Star’ Suckling on the Sun?
What was that planet-sized ‘Death Star’-like structure seen floating near the surface of the sun on Monday? Although sightings of supposed UFOs in space images are nothing new, this particular orb appears to be refueling with solar plasma — there’s even a hose extending from the sun’s surface!
As you may have guessed, that’s no moon… but it’s no space station either. Obligatory “Star Wars” clip:

This is a real image taken by the robotic spacecraft Cassini of Saturn eclipsing the sun (via).
Amazing. There is a little blue dot on the left side of the image just above the bright main rings. That is Earth, approximately a billion miles away.
Not psychology related, just an incredible image. Click for high resolution to see Earth.
