This is SN 1006 Supernova Remnant, the brightest in recorded human history. It lit up the sky in the year 1006 AD, and it still lights up the skies in a great cosmic light show! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, y'all! Hurray for the Red, White, and Blue!

Hello Joyce, Happened upon your blog. How lovely! Am a writer myself; primarily, a screenwriter. But while I read your blogs, you have the most calming tone. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit, and it was nice meeting you. Petra p.s. Do you mind if I include you on my blog list? The only way to remember you. I'd like to revisit.
Hello again, Joyce. Thank you for stopping by. Have a Happy 4th! Petra
p.s. Hadn't looked at Ellen and Elijah that way; but there's truth in what you say! *laughing*
Cool picture Joyce, I love the red, white, and blue! Happy 4th! :)
That is some star all right!!!!
I wonder what comments you'll make on the next pairing! I'll be writing min-scripts for, we, who are aging gracefully. :)) Petra
Loved this. Have missed this one somehow. That is the ultimate red, white and blue! Kayce
I hope you had a great 4th Joyce! I'm loving your book, thank you! XXOO
Well, Joyce. It looks like we're going to die in all that youth and beauty! *laughing* Yup, they were the winners. Thank so for voting! Petra
Hope you had a great holiday!
