Another great job Kayla!

I was wondering if there is a “pull back” shot on the energy ribbon showing the entire structure?

I think it depends on what copper compound you are using. Some give blue, some green, some are blue-green.

The US Government in its infinite wisdom is trying to close down Aricebo, our eye on the sky with regards to the search for radio signals from Extraterrestrial intelligence. It’s the huge dish seen in the movie ‘Contact’.
Two bills are pending to save it; both are apparently in trouble. Senate Bill S.2862 and House Resolution H.R. 3737 would insure funding continues.

Happy 4th everyone.

Love the Google Earth thing. Wish my navigation was that good.

Back to inebriation and fireworks.

#9. I thought copper was green as well, like in a flame test. But, maybe it’s different when you’re exploding it?
