LEGO Entertainment System
This teeny-tiny NES by Arkov reminds me how much I miss playing with Legos. My love for gaming took priority somewhere along the line. Maybe someone should just make a Lego simulator for consoles…It even opens up! Extra credit if someone makes a tiny NES cartridge to fit in there.
A Solar Prominence
How can gas float above the Sun? Twisted magnetic fields arching from the solar surface can trap ionized gas, suspending it in huge looping structures. These majestic plasma arches are seen as prominences above the solar limb. In 1999 September, this dramatic and detailed image was recorded by the EIT experiment on board the space-based SOHO observatory in the light emitted by ionized Helium. It shows hot plasma escaping into space as a fiery prominence breaks free from magnetic confinement a hundred thousand kilometers above the Sun. These awesome events bear watching as they can affect communications and power systems over 100 million kilometers away on Planet Earth. Recently, our Sun has been unusually quiet.
