Graduation

Wow, did I ever blow it by forgetting to post some pics from graduation last weekend. It was fun, and a great achievement. We'll celebrate that achievement when you are all here.





















Excited, nervous and a bit sick.

Victory!

Nature was very kind to us...

The AP is reporting:

New data from NASA's Themis mission, a quintet of satellites launched this winter, found the energy comes from a stream of charged particles from the sun flowing like a current through twisted bundles of magnetic fields connecting Earth's upper atmosphere to the sun.

The energy is then abruptly released in the form of a shimmering display of lights visible in the upper latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere...

To scientists' surprise, the geomagnetic storm powering the auroras raced 400 miles in a minute across the sky. Angelopoulos estimated the storm's power was equal to the energy released by a magnitude 5.5 earthquake.

"Nature was very kind to us," Angelopoulos said.

I wonder what he meant by that...
