Open a can of cat food and like magic, the cat will appear!

I guess it is because it is "invisible"!

I can never find the cat, the dog, or anything else. Oh, once I did find the subcontinent of India in a nebula somewhere .... :-)
But the pic is just absolutely stupendous.

I see the cat, but does the cat see the mouse?

I had a ‘glowing Steve’ but the doc gave me some pills and I got better.

Looks like a giant space goose.

To me it looks like a Grubhub driver delivering my Wendy’s double cheeseburger.

The cat is on the ground in the shadows just to the left of the tree trunk. There’s some white in its face otherwise you would never see it.

During the peak of solar cycle 23, while watching auroras from Wind Cave N.P., we saw STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) crossing the Milky Way, at about a 90* angle. No color, per se; just a long, narrow wand of pale grayish lavender or purple, at our zenith. It appeared from the western horizon, and faded out to the east, just past the Milky Way.
We were so, ‘WTF?’ & thinking it was just an odd cloud or contrail remains, that I didn’t snap any shots of it.
Back then, we had never heard of proton arcs... since redesignated STEVE, since protons have nothing to do with it.
Haven’t seen ‘him’ since.

Well, I’m relieved. I was afraid “A Glowing STEVE” was until recently a “Security” crewman on Star Trek.
Great pic, anyway!
