A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) at 6:51 p.m. on 18 April 2018 from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

Blue Angels Over ORCA

2018/04/20 by terranovabay

Two of the Blue Angels on their Thursday afternoon practice session passed over the Oslo Riverfront Conservation Area (ORCA) as seen from the front of Audubon House. The tall trees surrounding Audubon House preventing any sighting of the Blue Angels unless they were almost directly overhead though the thunderous roar of their engines could be heard all through the woods.
