Probably Looks Better from Space

Starlog August 2nd, 2021, 7:40 p.m. local time

On the same day I took my recent Saturn and Jupiter images, approximately 18 hours afterward, I went for an evening stroll.  The Sun was just starting to clip the limits of the sky, and combined with the incoming clouds, made for impressive views.  These pictures also show how the sky overall was still extremely clear, specifically no smoke from the ongoing continental wildfires.  We’ve been lucky in my area that the smoke is staying West of us, for now.

Pictures taken with my iPhone and briefly post-processed in PaintShop Pro.

I am the founder and creative director of Computer Looking Up. I have been fascinated by space since childhood. My interest in technology also runs deep, rooted in fond memories of the CRT-anchored desktops my father tinkered with in the early 1980s. Professionally, I have spent over 30 years immersed in the technology sector, serving in capacities ranging from programming and IT to project management. Outside of work, my passions lie in astrophotography, astronomy, and philosophy. Through ComputerLookingUp.com, I explore these interests and aim to build a community where we can share insights—I hope you will join the conversation.
