Photographed some Freight Trains in NJ –
August 20th, 2009 | 
Author: Norfolk Southern runs not too far from me here in Holland, PA and it also ran fairly close to where I used to live in New Jersey. I went out with Dan Troy and some rail fans and enjoyed seeing the big freight go by a couple times. Once near Manville and around Flemington the same day.

A Chameleon Sky
The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.
