Hoar frost is a type of feathery frost that forms as a result of specific climatic conditions. It refers to the old age appearance of the frost and the way the ice crystals form that make it look like white hair or a beard. This scenario formed in the midst of ice and fog near Charlo, Montana, US.

A contrail and its associated homogenitus captured by Jim's neighbor, Marjorie Westermann. As Jim shares, their "remote mountain neighborhood found this cloud a 'feather in our caps' rewarding us for living and relishing high altitude life." This scene was photographed near the Tennessee Pass, at an elevation of 10,425 feet in the Sawatch Mountain Range, Colorado, US.

You might like to have sight of this fantastic view of the event – photo comes from NASA’s APOD page

– look for the rare “Bailey’s Beads” around the Sun’s circumference. These are akin to stunning brilliant blue and/or white sparkling diamonds with eye-blinding light. Celestial magic!

A once in a lifetime vista. The last time I saw a complete – i.e. 100% solar eclipse, from memory, was in 2000. The next complete solar eclipse is not due to occur till the year 2090 by which time I, and many others reading this,, will have “pegged out” and truly burried and rotted or maybe cremated.
