Van
Trump Park - Evening at Mt. Rainier - Buttercups
and anemones herald the first wave of floral color in the early summer
at Van Trump Park, one of the sub-alpine meadows on the south side of The
Mountain. Photographers find a great variety of subject material on the
steep trail to this lovely scene: Comet Falls leaps 320 feet over two impressive
precipices, old-growth Douglas-fir forests give way to lush subalpine meadows,
and mountain goats often cavort in the upper reaches of the Van Trump meadows.

Pinnacle
Peak at Sunset - Pinnacle Peak provides rock-climbing
opportunities for visitors and a focal point for photographers in the Tatoosh
Range. Its craggy summit is composed of erosion resistant welded-tuff,
a very hard volcanic rock formed when ancient volcanoes spewed volumes
of hot pumice and debris over the landscape. The individual lumps of pumice
were hot enough to remelt when they fell back to earth. Sunset brings out
the warm ocher colors in this and other Tatoosh Range peaks. - by Ron Warfield

Triton:
Neptune's Largest Moon Credit: Voyager 2,
NASA - Explanation: One hundred and fifty three years ago, on October 10th,
1846, William Lassell was observing the newly discovered planet Neptune.
He was attempting to confirm his observation, made just the previous week,
that Neptune had a ring. But this time he discovered that Neptune had a
satellite as well. Lassell soon proved that the ring was a product of his
new telescope's distortion, but the satellite Triton remained. The above
picture of Triton was taken in 1989 by the only spacecraft ever to pass
Triton: Voyager 2. Voyager 2 found fascinating terrain, a thin atmosphere,
and even evidence for ice volcanoes on this world of peculiar orbit and
spin. Ironically, Voyager 2 also confirmed the existence of complete thin
rings around Neptune - but these would have been quite invisible to Lassell!

Polaris:
The North Star Credit & Copyright: Wally
Pacholka - Explanation: Polaris is quite an unusual star. First, Polaris
is the nearest bright star to the north spin axis of the Earth. Therefore,
as the Earth turns, stars appear to rotate around Polaris, making it the
North Star. Since no bright star is near the south spin axis of the Earth,
there is currently no South Star. Thousands of years ago, Earth's spin
axis pointed in a slightly different direction, and Vega was the North
Star. Although Polaris is not the brightest star on the sky, it is easily
located because it is nearly aligned with two stars in the cup of the Big
Dipper, and is the last star in the handle of the Little Dipper. In the
above picture, Polaris is the brightest star on the right, above the fleeting
streak of a Perseid meteor. The surface of Polaris slowly pulsates, causing
the star to change its brightness by a few percent over the course of a
few days. This rare Cepheid variability of Polaris is, oddly enough, itself
changing. Authors & editors: Robert Nemiroff (MTU) & Jerry Bonnell
