Recently a most interesting photo image arrived by e-mail from Michigan, and our thanks to Mr. Mike Niel for sending this along. When I had clarified the image as much as possible, I e-mailed the enhancement back to the gentleman who had sent the original, as this is obviously a good way to provide meaningful feedback from the Museum.
Many images end up being mundanely explainable.
But the recent Michigan object is a whole other matter, it would appear. Why, or from precisely what effects, such lines seem to have appeared in the visible spectrum, is a bit puzzling, but there they are. Very often I can make at least some kind of sense of them, and this way we may come just a little closer to understanding some of the things that visit our skies. News From the Museum Things have slowed down a bit now that Fall is here. However, as of closing on the night of October 15 th our number of visitors for the year has reached 173,641.
