The Sun Shines in High-Energy X-rays
X-rays stream off the sun in this image showing observations from by NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, overlaid on a picture taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). This is the first picture of the sun taken by NuSTAR. The field of view covers the west limb of the sun.
A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead, all working for NASA, were trying to figure out where to go on the next trip.
The brunette said, "We should go to Mars."
The redhead said, "We should go to the Moon."
The brunette and the redhead sat there arguing for a while. Suddenly, the blonde shouts, "Stop arguing! I know where the next expedition should be to ... the Sun!"
The brunette and the redhead looked at each other and started laughing. The brunette finally said, "You can't go to the Sun. You would melt or burn up before you even got close!"
The blonde said, "DUH... Not if you go at night!"
{And.... by the way.... happy birthday to me.}

Couldn't help but notice the sky in several shots of the video...and the result of CHEMTRAILS.(the phoney clouds and cloud patterns).
They took the Holiday yesterday. Our sky was azure blue all day. They'll be back spraying today for sure.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Mr Van Der Leun!

Best wishes on your birthday!
