Earth from Space: Iberian Peninsula cloud-free mosaic
Mostly cloud-free mosaic of the Iberian Peninsula. Created using the new multi-temporal processing abilities of the Sinergise Sentinel Hub EO Browser (http://www.sentinel-hub.com/) with some post-processing in Photoshop. If you are interested you can find more information in this blog post (http://www.sentinel-hub.com/blog/multi-temporal-processing) and request early access to this new feature to try it out.
The image combines 12 months of Sentinel-2 (https://goo.gl/cZp5kg) images from August 2016 to August 2017, showing a median of all scenes with below 20 percent cloud coverage.

Researchers unlock the molecular origins of Alzheimer's disease
A "twist of fate" that is minuscule even on the molecular level may cause the development of Alzheimer's disease, VCU researchers have found. Observations of molecules called monomers, which are present in the brain, have revealed valuable insights into the disease's pathway. Monomers resemble a chain in which each of the links is one of 20 amino acids, the building blocks of essential proteins. Problems arise when these monomer chains repeatedly stack on top of one another to form harmful atypical amyloid fibrils, which are long, string-like structures. Typical amyloid fibrils are made from monomer chains that contain 40 amino acid links, and may have a role in DNA transcription and other cellular processes. A comprehensive look at the brains of familial (inherited) and senile (non-inherited) Alzheimer's sufferers shows that monomers with two additional links in the amino acid chain—called Aβ42 monomers—lead to the devastating disease, said Michael Peters, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Chemical and Life Science Engineering in the School of Engineering.

Porpoise or penguin?
Description
What do you see in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope: a porpoise or a penguin?
Amateur astronomers have nicknamed this pretty galactic pair after both of these creatures – the graceful curve of a dolphin or porpoise can be seen in the blue- and red-tinged shape towards the bottom of the frame, and when paired with the pale, glowing orb just beneath it, the duo bear a striking resemblance to a bird or penguin guarding an egg.
The form of the penguin itself is made up of a single galaxy that has been twisted, distorted and ripped apart. This galaxy, named NGC 2936, was once a normal spiral like the Milky Way, until its arms were torn apart to form the mix of electric blue streaks, glowing gas and curving strands of red material seen in this image. What was once the galaxy’s bright central bulge now forms the ‘eye’ of the penguin.
NGC 2936 is so misshapen because it is interacting with its egg-like neighbour, an elliptical galaxy named NGC 2937. Together, these two galaxies make up a pair dubbed Arp 142. NGC 2937 may look tiny in comparison to NGC 2936 but its gravitational influence is strong.
The duo are pulling at one another and interacting, slowly changing their appearances and disrupting their gas, dust and stars. In around a billion years these two might come together to form a single galaxy, and the merging process will be complete.
Visible towards the top of the frame is a bright star cloaked in glittering blue but this is yet another optical illusion. The star is much closer to the camera than the patch of blue material, which makes up a much more distant galaxy.
This image combines visible and infrared light from Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera 3.

Where is the Edge of the Solar System? | NASA Goddard
Where does the solar system end? It all depends on the criteria you are using. Based on where the planets end, you could say it's Neptune and the Kuiper Belt. If you measure by edge of the sun's magnetic fields, the end is the heliosphere. If you judge by the stopping point of sun's gravitational influence, the solar system would end at the Oort Cloud.

Milky Way Voyager
Poster Illustration Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, Voyager
Explanation: Launched in 1977 on a tour of the outer planets of the Solar System, Voyager 1 and 2 have become the longest operating and most distant spacecraft from Earth. Nearly 16 light-hours from the Sun, Voyager 2 has reached the edge of the heliosphere, the realm defined by the influence of the solar wind and the Sun's magnetic field. Now humanity's first ambassador to the Milky Way, Voyager 1 is over 19 light-hours away, beyond the heliosphere in interstellar space. Celebrate the Voyagers' 40 year journey toward the stars with NASA on September 5.

100,000 Followers- Thank You!!
Over the weekend I saw this Collection had surpassed 100,000 followers. A big thanks y'all!! I am a big fan of the Texas Landscape but would never imagine this many people following along.
For those who have not been to Texas, I hope you can get a glimpse of the Lone Star State. For those Texans, I hope you can see our state in it's wild greatness!
Here is one of my favorite views in the state, the western Escarpment of the Guadalupe Mountains. After heavy rains in 2013 a fleeting lake formed on the Salt Flats and I was able to witness this incredible sunset. The lake only forms every few years and never lasts long. I was lucky enough to have photographed it on a couple of occasions and it never ceases to leave me in awe.

7 Early Warning Signs Of Stroke Everyone Should Know
A stroke happens when the blood that is flowing to the brain has stopped and the brain cells begin to die. Stroke can happen to anyone regardless of age, but more than a third of those hospitalized are under 65 years old. High cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, as well as smoking are all the huge risk factors.
