Good R.E.D. Friday Morning, Maj William W. 'Bill' Price and what a beautiful photo of our Wonderful Planet Earth at the "Blue Hour" as provided by NASA... I could not find a specific short video to go along with this but did come up with an extraordinary Video, which is quite mesmerizing as it is taken from space, perhaps the moon...or one of our telescopes in space... The data was not included... I will post along with you as I have in the past, so chime in when you view it...
Have an awesome day, my friend@

Beautiful picture from the summit of Mount Whitney.

"Explanation: Nature photographers and other fans of planet Earth always look forward to the blue hour. That's the transition in twilight, just before sunrise or after sunset, when the Sun is below the horizon but land and sky are still suffused with beautiful bluish hues of light. On August 8 this early morning blue hour panorama scanned along the clear western sky, away from the impending sunrise. A breathtaking scene, it looks down the slopes of Mt. Whitney, from along the John Muir Trail toward rugged peaks of planet Earth's Sierra Nevada mountain range. Above the horizon a faint pinkish band of back scattered sunlight, the anti-twilight arch or Belt of Venus, borders the falling grey shadow of Earth itself. Subtle bands of light across the clear sky are anti-crepuscular rays, defined by shadows of clouds near the sunward horizon. Actually following parallel lines they seem to converge along the horizon at the point opposite the rising Sun due to perspective."
Thank you, my friends Maj Marty Hogan and Sgt (Join to see)
