The #ArcticBlast that put much of Florida into a deep freeze also created these mesmerizing #CloudStreets caught by @NOAA's #GOESEast.

Overnight brain upgrade
FSD v14.1: INCREDIBLE.
My car drove me across multiple highways en route to the Orlando airport, where it entered the parking garage, parked, exited, and perfectly executed the ticket booth interaction - without ANY input from me.
It handled other cars and a construction worker on a ladder. It knew to not enter the reserved floor of the garage, which was blocked by a gate. It also ignored floors with “level full” signs, although this might be a coincidence given it went straight to the top level.
I routed it to a nearby Supercharger, it flawlessly exited the garage, and it drove to the charger, where as expected, it parked flawlessly.
My car could not do this yesterday. Overnight, it received a software update to enable this new behavior.
You have to experience this to truly appreciate it. Incredible.

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
