WIST Quotations Jun 30

A quotation from Joseph Addison

“Censure,” says a late ingenious author, “is the tax a man pays for being eminent.” It is a folly for an eminent man to think of escaping it, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101

The Sun in H-Alpha light, 24 december 2024

Following the O-III and Ca-K images of the Sun, a series of images in H-Alpha light. Since the introduction of the new equipment, an overall improvement can be appreciated in every image: a better sampling of the data is one of the key factors. All the original images have been converted to RGB color space...

"Topographic #prominence of three peaks located in Maine, US, all near the higher Great Pond Mountain. Red triangles mark the four peaks, the lowest contour line encircling each of the three lower peaks are shown in black and the green dots mark the key cols that mark the starting point of prominence. The prominences are Atkins Hill: 430 − 310 = 120 ft, Cave Hill: 570 − 530 = 40 ft, Mead Mountain: 671 − 530 = 141 ft. The parent peak of each peak is Great Pond Mountain."
