Traigo sangre borinqueña
soy hija de las palmeras
de los campos y los ríos
y del cantar del coquí!
Esta es mi islita de nombre indio taino Borinquen; este es Puerto Rico.
.
I bring Borinquena blood
I'm the daughter of palm trees
of the fields and rivers
and the singing of the coqui!
.
This is my little island named by the taino Indians Borinquen; This is Puerto Rico.

. Members and followers of the Caribbean Astronomy Society (SAC) share their photos obtained from the island of Puerto Rico.
The SAC indicated that the comet was visible and even photographed from the island for several days just before dawn, and explained that according to the perspective of our area, the comet was in recent days in a transition to the night sky.
Many of these kites are seen once in our lives, and in the case of NEOWISE, after this approach this month, the next time it will approach Earth will be close to 8,786 ", he said by his part Juan González Alicea, president of the organization.
The NEOWISE comet has a core of approximately 3 miles (5 km) in diameter, and managed to withstand its approach to the Sun, which happened last July 3 It is anticipated that July 23 will be passing at a totally safe distance of 64 million miles (103 million km) from our planet.
.
The Comet C / 2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was discovered on March 27, 2020 from about 326 miles (525 km) above the Earth's surface by the Near Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), a space telescope launched by NASA in 2009.

Personally i prefer girls, especially when they are smart (like you AG)
This one is called Alexandria ... and I love her !
Did you hear his last speech in the united states congress ?
Powerful !!!
. Yassssssss she is the best! That is the way our parents raise us here in the island; to speak our minds and be brave. We are humble, friendly, kind and happy but we are also outspoken "no nos quedamos calladas ante la injusticia". La mujer puertorriquena es luchadora y no baja la cabeza.

. Yep that is a tank on the beach!
. Flamenco Beach is a public beach on the small island of Culebra (Spanish pronunciation: [kuˈleβɾa]). It is known for its shallow turquoise waters, white sand, swimming areas, and diving sites. It stretches for a mile around a sheltered, horseshoe-shaped bay. Playa Flamenco is a popular beach destination. In March 2014, Flamenco beach was ranked 3rd best beach in the world with a TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award. In August 2016, it was announced that Flamenco Beach had regained its Blue Flag Beach international distinction.
The island of Culebra is one of a few smaller islands that are part of the island of Puerto Rico.
. One of the most distinctive views of the beach include two rusting carcasses of old M4 Sherman tanks that were left behind by the United States Navy after their departure from Flamenco Beach in 1975, which was used as a weapons-testing ground by them for more than 30 years. While the salty winds from the sea worked on the metal, causing it to rapidly rust and crumble apart, the locals and visitors often decorate them, covering the badly-corroded hulks in layers of colorful graffiti. Today, the tanks still remain and have become a unique feature of the otherwise pristine and beautiful beach.

Ohhhh ok! I had to google Mauritius to get it. Very tragic what happened with the oil spill in that beautiful island.
.
. But we do have a black sand beach here in the island minus the oil. This one is all natural and beautiful. Its call Playa Negra or Black Beach.
.
. Playa Negra is in the small island of Vieques and here you will find most of the beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico. White sands, crystal waters but also the unique back sand beach. Its on a remote side of the small island and it will require a one-hour hike to reach it.

, Photo from the island: Remnant of a star that was like the sun (medium), and ′′ died ′′
This beautiful image was recently captured from the patio of her residence by young Wanda Conde Silva of the Caribbean Astronomy Society (SAC). It is the ′′ Dumbbell ′′ Nebula (Messier 27), located approximately 1227 light-years away in the constellation of Vulpecula.
This curious cloud of gas in space is also known as the Halter Nebula or Apple Nebula.
This kind of star remnant is called ′′ Planetary Nebula ", although it doesn't really have anything to do with planets. The name is because in 1780, astronomer William Herschel began documenting the characteristics of these objects through the telescopes that were at the time, and he understood that they had the shape and color of these objects. possible planets, albeit blurry.
Although it was later determined that planetary nebulas are the final stages of medium stars like the Sun, when they expel their gases, the name ′′ planetary nebula ′′ remained.
Our star, the Sun, is predicted to die similarly as we see in this nebula, when its fuel (hydrogen) runs out but we can be calm, as this will happen in approximately five billion years.

I assume we can see it to ?
Seems like a rather nebulous connection to Borinquen ...
Or are you subtly saying the storm clouds have gone and your skies are clear again?
yassssss u read me well head master. So clear the sky gets that last June i got to see the international space station and the dragon capsule from the patio of my house; but not like in the picture it was more like a star moving slowly across the sky. It was so cool! waiting to see a UFO one of this nights.
