  • could that be the sea in the background? I have never seen a good enough image to tell if you get sky or sea behind the buildings. If it is sea I think they are white caps. If that isn't sea, call Mulder and Scully!

  • @Edano we can order digital globe photos but they are really expensive.
    by Nancy 5/7/2011 2:16:19 AM

  • Yes- the sea! whitecaps...whew

  • @marie rich I'm really sleep deprived right now, it was really playing tricks with my head.

  • The only post I see today on PhysicsForum regarding the lean is one that claims it is not accurate. That would be #6027 on page 377

  • Here's an interesting one, ge.ssec.wisc.edu
    by Jim 5/7/2011 2:18:47 AM

  • @Nancy Sorry, I'm just no good with images. The more I look, the more sure it's only whitecaps. Really sorry!

  • marie.. take it easy he he .... I been watching those waves too ... whewwww. you see all kinda of things

  • @bo I looked at his photo. You can still see the angles of the building frame vs. his vertical lines.

  • @dean Blind and brain-dead, that's me!

  • vertical line for reference and traced the building framework to compare www.houseoffoust.com

  • @All try that link it shows the tippy cam at first but then goes to something..not sure..try it.
    by Jim 5/7/2011 2:23:39 AM

  • Thanks Nancy
    by bo 5/7/2011 2:23:40 AM

  • Click auto-update
    by Jim 5/7/2011 2:25:18 AM

  • @bo I think we really need some other angle photos to know. Hoping maybe something new comes out over the weekened from inside the plant.
    by Nancy 5/7/2011 2:27:02 AM

  • we will all go crazy watching the tippy thing and be in the WACKO house...
    by dean 5/7/2011 2:27:30 AM

  • reminds me of.. this engineer who had a picture in his office of a beautiful lady on a beech in a bikini with the caption.... .if you stare at the photo long enough you will see a BEACH..
    by dean 5/7/2011 2:28:36 AM

  • @dean I better not go there...
    by Jim 5/7/2011 2:28:48 AM

  • @dean LOL. I try not to watch it other than to check it periodically.
    by Nancy 5/7/2011 2:29:29 AM

  • well marie.. I keep looking at it and think I'm seeing a man in white coveralls on the right side on top
    by dean 5/7/2011 2:30:23 AM

  • @dean I remember that..and it worked!
    by Jim 5/7/2011 2:30:33 AM

  • @dean Lol- no, silly, that's a ghost
    by marie rich 5/7/2011 2:33:36 AM

  • @dean g'nite
    by bo 5/7/2011 2:41:39 AM

  • I think the guy on the Physics Forums was right. I'm not that great in optics so I can't really explain it.

  • Wind Map around Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (Google Maps Tiling)

    Wind data from the numerical weather prediction model GPV (meso scale model) by Japan Meteorological Agency at the surface level (10 meter height) is visualized on Google Maps. You can see wind direction all over eastern Japan centered on Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant by Tokyo Electric Power Company. Moving the slider shows you the prediction of wind direction ans speed. agora.ex.nii.ac.jp

  • Look at cam. What's those
    by Cat 5/7/2011 3:14:34 AM

  • Not seen those flashes before.
    by Cat 5/7/2011 3:16:29 AM

  • maybe just sun glinting off clouds?
    by Cat 5/7/2011 3:17:51 AM

  • @Cat They are thinking ocean waves.
    by Angie 5/7/2011 3:18:30 AM

  • @Cat These are Sea Caps from the Oceabn

  • @all Saying Hi!
    by smoss 5/7/2011 3:21:43 AM

  • @Nancy I think I've found an earlier video that may offcer a frame of reference to the issue of #4 leaning. Will try to embed it here:

    by smoss 5/7/2011 3:21:49 AM

  • @Cat sorry WE think its waves......better!
    by Angie 5/7/2011 3:22:27 AM

  • ok but that means horizon is off the top of the screen. I was trying to work out horizon line and assumed it was to murky to see.
    by Cat 5/7/2011 3:24:47 AM

  • @Cat Dpoesnt look like we see horizon, look now, geting more waves
    by Veenie 5/7/2011 3:27:30 AM

  • @Cat it is public money going up in puffs of smoke
    by bo 5/7/2011 3:30:58 AM

  • @bo That must be going on all over the world then. Should have recognised it
    by Cat 5/7/2011 3:38:03 AM

  • i52.tinypic.com

    The "Tippycam just got clear enough to see the roof line of R2. Look.

    by radioguy via I52.tinypic 5/7/2011 3:46:06 AM

  • Perspective perhaps. The shot is not square on but we make it so?
    by radioguy 5/7/2011 3:47:17 AM

  • Looks like we're likely to have rain here in Japan for our "high density" release tomorrow. Nice.
