Lowell Observatory - Photo taken during my visit June 2005. In 1930, Clyde Tombaugh, an amateur astronomer from Kansas, completed a search started by Lowell some 25 years prior: the search for a ninth planet. Clyde Tombaugh

Meteor Crater, Arizona - This photo was taken June 2006 while over flying in our Cessna 182 Skylane 1000 feet above. It was the first crater to be identified as an impact crater. Between 20,000 to 50,000 years ago, a small asteroid about 80 feet in diameter impacted the Earth and formed the crater.

Planetary nebula
Crescent Nebula , NGC 6888 (5000 light years) - Although it looks somewhat like a supernova remnant, it is actually a rare planetary nebula surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star. A planetary nebula is a shell of gas that has been shed by a star late in its lifetime.2006-09-04T01:12:25,Fenwick Observatory,Schmidt-Cassegrain 10" @f/5,SBIG ST-7XME CCD Camera, LRGB 5 mins. ea.

Ring Nebula M57 (2300 light years) - The star at the center of the Ring nebula has a surface temperature of 216,000 degrees Farenheit or 120,000 degrees Celsius. Our own star, the Sun, is expected to undergo the same process in a couple of billion years.2007-05-14T05:37:05, Fenwick Observatory,Schmidt-Cassegrain 10" @f/3.3, SBIG ST-7XME CCD Camera,Luminance 5mins.,RG 100sec ea.,B 160sec
