NASA Image Of The Day
Hurricane Celia
Perfectly circular, powerful Hurricane Celia spaned hundreds of miles over the Pacific Ocean in this image from June 24, 2010. Rough-textured clouds surround the storm?s distinct eye. Farther from the center of the storm, spiral arms appear thinner and smoother. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, on NASA?s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Hurricane Celia at 1:55 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 24, 2010. Just five minutes later, the U.S. National Hurricane Center classified Celia as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 135 miles per hour. Image Credit: NASA...

Tidal Pools
 
 
There are evenings when we are a single wave,
Rising and falling as one
Before we wash across the beach
To lie listening to the seabirds
While the Pleiades and the Hunter rise.
When we are caught up
In our separate pools,
Unable to touch
But knowing that the other is there,
The waves come crashing over me
And pull the sand from beneath my feet
To draw me back to the sea
