The Blackness of Space
Black is black. But not quite, really. The background of space is not black. Aside from the noise, there is a faint signal. There is light from many sources in the sky background. These sources included sky glow and emission from other nearby objects.

Boost Autumn Colors
Brilliant reds and yellows pop from these images because of the use of a rare-earth filter. Didymium filters. Didymium (Greek: δίδυμο, twin element) is a mixture of the elements praseodymium and neodymium. It is used in safety glasses for glassblowing and blacksmithing, especially with a gas (propane)-powered forge, where it provides a filter that selectively blocks the yellowish light at 589 nm emitted by the hot sodium in the glass without having a detrimental effect on general vision, unlike dark welder's glasses. The usefulness of didymium glass for eye protection of this sort was discovered by Sir William Crookes.

Casa de Suenos The first impression of this cozy bed and breakfast is one of a sheltered haven from the hustle and bustle of larger towns, lodgings, and the interstate left far behind. From wherever you may have come, the pastel yellow stucco welcomes you in the warmth that is echoed within by its soft colonial decor.
