Short-lived funnel cloud (photo 6:07pm ET, dissipated 6:09pm) looking east from Satellite Beach, FL along the edge of some low-topped showers moving to the SSW @NWSMelbourne
I’m proud of this one.
I brought a solar telescope to Florida to capture a Falcon 9 rocket launch transiting the sun. While these have been captured before, never with the details of the sun’s chromosphere, which makes this one the first!

Since I was in Vero Beach this week, I was curious about region's #hurricane history. Interestingly, JEANNE 2004 is farthest-N known landfall of major (Cat 3+) on #Florida's East Coast. None N of Port St. Lucie. But JEANNE had fat core, so eyewall reached N to near Melbourne.
On Sunday I traveled to the middle of the desert to capture this: The ISS against our sun. What I didn't expect: the sun producing a magnificent flare at the same time
A once-in-a-lifetime shot I'm thrilled to share with you. See the uncropped shot or get the print in the reply
Now: ongoing landspout in western Palm Beach County Florida about 1 to 2 miles north east of Canal Point, FL. Duration 6 to 10 minutes and slowly beginning to dissipate. @NWSMiami

Pretty evening for the launch of Amazon’s Kuiper 1 mission atop an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. 27 satellites for Amazon’s new internet constellation hitched a ride to orbit from the Space Coast at 7:01pm ET.
