Sierra Club Night Hike


Last night, Christy and I went on a night hike with the Sierra Club around my ol’ stomping grounds in Turtle Rock.

There’s something about the smell of the cypress and eucalyptus trees, the wild mustard accompanied with the sounds of the tree frogs and the remains of coyote poop on the trail that bring me back to the days of my youth. Although, most of the area is built up now with it’s multi-million dollar homes and pretentious occupiers, thankfully they have managed to set aside a bit of land for conservations sake.

Overall the hike was about 4.54 miles – Most of it being uphill! I’ve got the shin splints and a blister to prove it. It was pretty much a non-stop hike so I didn’t get to take as many pictures as i would have liked to. Overall, It was a great evening though. I have a few pics from my crappy camera phone below. Next time, I will bring a real camera so I can capture the awesomeness.

    A Chameleon Sky

     
    The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.
