PYLON! Now this really is '4hv'
On my travels earlier I came across this pylon, this is a fairly remote area and it was very windy so I can see why it came down. It's interesting how it just stabbed itself into the ground, and they left it. The scary thing is, when I passed the replacement pylon, I noticed that it's foundations are all broken - the blocks of concrete had been pulled out of the ground, so it's pretty much just standing there, only a matter of time before the same thing happens again!

congrats on the cool scope!
I got to use a 4 channel/150mhz (1.5gs/s) one at work for a while. If I could have one thing out of the lab (which included a number of $50k instruments like a spectrometer that has a 50hz resolution from 16khz to 50ghz ) it would have been that scope.

I spotted this whilst cooking dinner outside tonight... at first I thought it was a vapour trail from a jet... then it inflamed briefly and I thought better and got the camera out.
Meteorite? Space junk re-entering? Not a 'shooting star'..?

It looks so like a vapour trail though, I think I can even see a little black plane-like speck at the end. A comet couldn't have any part that looked darker than the sky, since it's outside the atmosphere.
Also, I found some photos of Comet MacNaught on Google, and it looks nothing like the object BP photographed:
A chocolate chip cookie for any 4hv member who manages to photograph it.
