Thanks for the updates.....

We got to finally see Neowise last night

Very electric clouds around here yesterday and Bear is acting strange

I was thinking he was sick but now I see all the activity and this morning he is barking at the sky?

That ground hog is very cute

COVID-19 forces Earth's largest telescopes to close

An Astronomy magazine tally has found that more than 100 of Earth’s biggest research telescopes have closed in recent weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What started as a trickle of closures in February and early March has become an almost complete shutdown of observational astronomy. And the closures are unlikely to end soon.

Observatory directors say they could be offline for three to six months — or longer. In many cases, resuming operations will mean inventing new ways of working during a pandemic. And that might not be possible for some instruments that require teams of technicians to maintain and operate. As a result, new astronomical discoveries are expected to come to a crawl.

“If everybody in the world stops observing, then we have a gap in our data that you can’t recover,” says astronomer Steven Janowiecki of the McDonald Observatory in Texas. “This will be a period that we in the astronomy community have no data on what happened.”

So I take it you didn't feel that quake (the 5.4 in Vancouver, which was initially a 6.1 on my phone app)? Bear was definitely sensing that. A bit concerning he is still responding strange today. I would not be surprised to see something larger in the Vancouver area, stay alert please. Cali should also be on high alert.

For reference, that was VERY far from Vancouver - about 300KM, across the Georgia Strait, across Vancouver Island, and over 200KM West of Tofino, in the ocean - and MUCH of the intervening distance is sedimentary base. There was never a chance of this being felt in Vancouver. Heck, I would have been shocked if it were detectable off of the East side of the Island where I am (imagine an equilateral triangle, with Tofino on the east bottom point, and the EQ epicentre on the West point - I'd be almost exactly the north point.)


More likely for people to have felt the Scott Islands quake here, though it's been severely underreported, which is odd. Closer to Vancouver Island, closer to the plate edge, and shallower.

Ah well, oddities abound today!

...and you thought your job was hard...

That real???

I had it originally come up as a 6.1, then downgraded about 30 minutes later.

Still wondering why nothing about the Queen Charlotte 4.6. LOL I know I'm on about it, but seems odd.
