Photo Of The Week - Blue Swallowtail SeaSlug, PNG

Jennifer spotted this Blue Swallowtail SeaSlug Chelidonura hirundinina all of about 20mm in length while diving off Luadi in PNG.

Closely related to Nudibranchs, this Opsithobranch lacks the characteristic cephalic tentacles and branchial plume of its close Gastropod relative. It is however every bit as stunning. Have a look at SeaSlug.net for more info.

Until the next post, take care out there and keep diving ( if that's what you do! ) ...Robert

The comet is getting dimmer as it moves further and further from the Earth so only a few more photo opportunities to go.

This photo was taken tonight at our local beach at around 10:30pm and it shows the comet near the horizon looking back onto Henley Beach Jetty.

I promise to start posting more aquatic photos again soon.

There's A Comet on My Roof

Well perhaps it is a little farther away than just above the roof, some 140 million kms or so and receding.

I took this photo from my roof top in suburban Adelaide so it really does not do the comet justice.

For really great photos have a look at NightSky Hunter (Mc Naught Gallery)

also try Astronomical Society of South Australia if you want to learn more about this awesome cosmic visitor.
