The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was 50 years ago today. Check out the post quoted below that remaps older satellite data and uses ERA5 reanalysis to look back at the #weather on that day. #history 1/2 πŸ§ͺ

While shooting the moonrise last night (since the eastern horizon was relatively free of clouds) I did get to capture another nice green flash along the Moon's upper limb. (Really more of a wavering flicker than a flash, but it was visible through the viewfinder.) πŸ“ΈπŸŒ–

Amtrak’s New Acela Trains Are Here. They’re Moving Slower Than the Old Ones. The next-generation trains, part of a $2.45 billion upgrade, can reach 160 miles an hour but are limited by the railroad’s aging infrastructure.
