Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (5/31/2025): Afterimage Sunset
Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 May 31 Afterimage Sunset Image Credit & Copyright: Marcella Giulia Pace Explanation: On May 7, the Sun setting behind a church bell tower was captured in this filtered and manipulated digital skyscape from Ragusa, Sicily, planet Earth. In this version of the image the colors look bizarre. Still, an intriguing optical illusion known as an afterimage can help you experience the same scene with a more natural looking appearance. To try it, find the sunspots of active region AR4079 grouped near the bottom of the blue solar disk. Relax and stare at the dark sunspot group for about 30 seconds, then close your eyes or shift your gaze to a plain white surface. In a moment an afterimage of the sunset should faintly appear. But the afterimage sunset will have this image's complementary colors and a more normal yellow Sun against a familiar blue sky.

Inspiring Quotes for Saturday, May 31, 2025
Love Love is like quick-silver in the hand ¡ Leave the fingers open and it stays in the palm; clutch it, and it darts away. ~ Dorothy Parker Writer and satirist Dorothy Parker was renowned for her razor-sharp wit and shrewd observations on human nature. In her 1933 short story ¡°Advice to the Little Peyton Girl,¡± first published in ¡°Harper¡¯s Bazaar,¡± she suggests that love thrives when given space ¡ª not clutched onto out of fear or desperation. Parker, whose own romantic life was marked by heartbreak, turmoil, and deep longing, understood love cannot be sustained through control. She goes on to write, ¡°Be, above all things, always calm. Let it be peace to be with you.¡± These lines urge serenity over anxiety, reminding us that love endures best when imbued with peace and trust. Parker¡¯s message is timeless: True love cannot be forced ¡ª it must be gently held with grace and faith. Mary Live long and prosper

Fw: Supermarket Trip
From: Andrea A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an older lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. "Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look like my son, who died recently." "I'm very sorry," replied the young man, "is there anything I can do for you?" "Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Goodbye, Mother'? It would make me feel so much better." "Sure," answered the young man. As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye, Mother!" As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. "How can that be?" he asked, "I only purchased a few things!" The clerk replied "Your mother said that you would pay for her." Mary Live long and prosper
