  • everclear75, on 06/26/2009, -0/+8Think that's something, check this link: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/imagerecor ...
    It's a animation of the Sarychev Peak Eruption in the Kuril Islands.
    It's wayyy cooler than this pic..
  • agulesin, on 06/26/2009, -2/+9Couldn't they find somewhere with a clearer view??? Interesting technique, but the ironwork spoils the photo...
  • LtCarter47, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3Wow, that was so much cooler than I was expecting, nice link!
  • sildude, on 06/26/2009, -0/+3Woa, that is pretty cool.
  • Andrewbot, on 06/26/2009, -0/+2FTA: "...in December, the Sun trails begin lower down at the northern hemisphere's winter solstice."

    So the lines are the path from top to bottom, and they said gaps are caused by cloud cover, does that mean at around the 1/4-point (February) they had intense day long cloud cover?
  • ilikeeggs8877, on 06/26/2009, -1/+2i seriously had to stare at this for like 3 mins trying to figure out wtf was going on...cool pic though
  • christoast, on 06/26/2009, -4/+5lol, this is picture of the day for NASA. It looks like it was taken on a cellphone camera 3 years ago by someone in a hurry.
  • Bactame, on 06/26/2009, -1/+2Yeah...the can was a beer can.
  • pw378, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1not today dude... not today...
  • inactive, on 06/27/2009, -0/+1What am I looking at?
  • misterwrite, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1Wow, that has to be the most underwhelming APOD picture I've ever seen. I almost always Digg up APOD pictures, not out of some kind of reverence, but because I usually find them inspiring, informational, and beautiful. This was just a mess.
  • jagagaj, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1Great picture. I think the ironwork adds to it.
  • slowexplosion, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1I couldn't tell what was going on for at least a minute. Looked like a ocean eyeball in a jungle lid.
  • Chamrox, on 06/26/2009, -0/+1Ok, assuming the bottom is the peak of the Winter Solstice, and the top is the Summer Solstice... looks like old Czech Rep went a couple of months without sunshine, basically, February-March. That sucks!
    At any rate, very cool photo.

  • giantnegro, on 06/26/2009, -1/+1I've got a friend who has some old contraption he though was designed to do this, but he wasn't really sure. After looking at the how these are made I'm positive that he's got some fancy old solargraph thingamajig.
  • whiteblackninja, on 06/26/2009, -1/+0It is interesting that they chose to look out from inside a radio telescope at the Ondrejov Observatory in the Czech Republic.
  • jakeny, on 06/26/2009, -3/+1http://tinypic.com/r/1zh1sig/5
  • OscarMilde, on 06/26/2009, -7/+0Sixth month long exposure? Sure we're not talking about Michael Jackson?
