Just a Lil Orbit Last Night for Shts and Grins...

Figuer'd I go see what was go'n on up in the dark abyss of our system so I brushed off the ol thumb and stuck it out and waited.

Before re-entry, I snapped this one. Not much but it is a rather captivating eclipse...

I have no idea what that is.

But I do know, without a doubt, that is someone gets is right and PMs you their address you will send them $5. No social experiment, no BS, just cash in the mail.

It's a failure analysis of some sort under high magnification. My guess is bearing failure being photographed with a scanning electron microscope. What appears to be the sun setting behind the earth to make an eclipse is the point where the bearing is failing, aparently burning from the friction being generated.

It's a picture of the inside of a Porsche cylinder as the spark ignites.
It's taken with one of those clear things that screws into the spark plug position.

It's a camera flash in your eyeball in the mirror.

edit: or perhaps just the bathroom mirror or something, but my wager is that that's a closeup of your (or someone's) eyeball.

I'm going to say it is a picture taken through some sort of oil. Maybe through a cylinder of some sort. There are clear circular markings on what appears to be the wall of the object.
