It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Neutron Stars
We were really lucky tonight to have a professor from a local university come talk to us about his research on Neutron Stars. A neutron star is a type of remnant that can result from the gravitational collapse of a massive star during a Type II, Type Ib or Type Ic supernova event. "Supernova" as in when a star explodes towards the end of its life. I spent some time trying to get an interesting photograph, and the best shots were when he walked into the beam of the projector to point out a detail of one of the illustrations. This is my favorite.
