Big Toot & the Little Toots.

Big Toot and The Little Toots.
****************************
I saw this taking place while talking on the phone. After the call I set the camera up and took the remainder of the sequence of events. Big Toot was named "Seaspan Protector." The two little tugs are local harbour tugs.

As The Sun Turns.

As The Sun Turns.
*******************
This clip is designed for an under one minute competition, being 48.25 seconds in length. The following text was used:

The sun believe it or not is not solid, but a sphere of gaseous plasma.

At the equator the solar rotation period is 24.47 days. This is called the sidereal rotation period, and should not be confused with the synodic rotation period of 26.24 days, which is the time for a fixed feature on the Sun to rotate to the same apparent position as viewed from Earth.

The sun spot group that we are zooming in on and the large dark spot to the left is so large that the earth will fit into it with out touching the sides.

This clip is one that I made after a lot of coaxing the stars that the camera will not bite, or peck, as the case maybe. 16th April, 2012.
