Ray Stevens: The Streak Original 45 RPM Record

"QUOTE From edisonphono1" This is a video of a 45 I have of Ray Stevens' The Streak. I think this is the original publication, but I'm not sure. Either way, it was made by Barnaby Records and distributed by Janus Records. This record is from '74. The B-Side does not match what Wikipedia says it should be--It's You've Got the Music Inside and Wikipedia says it should be Smith and Jones--but I think it still could be an original since it's from '74. It is played on my Zenith Console (model # unknown) with a replacement (but still BSR) changer. Please enjoy the video! LINK: Youtube

NASA Captures the Rising Sun Lighting Up the Midnight Sky

The International Space Station snapped a particularly beautiful photo of the various layers of our globe's atmosphere with the rising sun peeking out to say hello, while touring over the Greek islands around midnight just a few weeks ago.

NASA's Earth Observatory, which posted the photo, pointed out the polar mesopheric clouds, or "night-shining" clouds as they called them, which are seen at twilight. Usually the clouds are only lit up by the sun when it's setting, however this particular shot shows the rising sun inking its rays across the low clouds. [Earth Observatory, Via: io9], Via: Gizmodo

Beautiful Rays Of Light

The proper term is Crepuscular Rays and Environmental Graffiti has a great collection of photos that have perfectly captured these beams of light.

nIcredible Crepuscular Rays - Sunbeams Caught On Camera

Sunbeams are everywhere - yet when they are caught on camera they are often unwanted additions to a photograph. They cut swathes through the picture, chopping off heads and obscuring detail in a burst of light.

However, when they are deliberately captured the results can be nothing short of magical.
