| Can you find the sun in these pictures? It's tough, but
it's there (I think) |
|
|
| A cool cloud illuminated by sunlight that day |
|
| Barely the sun, again |
|
| The barest sun, from the windows of the new station
during the sunrise party |
|
|
| The sun rising near Skylab |
|
| Sun rising near ARO |
|
|
| The green flash, taken through a telescope in the skylab
lounge (the black spot is the unfocused image of the telescope's
secondary mirror), and the whole image is inverted. |
|
| The view from the roof of Skylab |
|
|
| Another nice ARO shot |
|
| The sun makes a very bright spot |
|
|
| ... then clouds rolled in |
|
|
| The day the sun really came out! |
|
|
| Rainbow sundogs to the side |
|
| Sunlight spilling on the arches |
|
| The Rainbow Dogs |
|
|
| More Rainbow Dogs |
|
|
| Left and right dogs |
|
|
| Double dog |
|
|
| Jon takin' pictures |
|
| Sun blocked by the El Dorm (notice the V-shaped halo above the sun;
that's not an optical illusion, that's real) |
|
| Sunrise over the Dome |
|
| ARO catches some rays and reflects them |
|
| Brand new flags for the ceremonial pole... I know it doesn't look
like it in the picture, but I think this was the most colorful thing
I'd ever seen |
|
| Cool white clouds over the Dome |
|
| The Dome and rainbow dog |
|
| Rainbow dog over distant ARO |
|
| A spectacular "sun pillar" over the new station |
|
|
| Sunrise over the station |
|
| A faint "Vee" shaped halo over the sun (it's the same phenomenon
as the wide halo in the summertime; its steepness depends on the latitude
of the sun) |
