Green Team Lighting HQ Fire Recovery, organized by KImberly Hill My name is Kim Hill and I am setting this up on behalf of Nate & Kristin Secord, N… KImberly Hill needs your support for Green Team Lighting HQ Fire Recovery
Friday night, Green Team HQ suffered a major and unexpected loss... Around 10:23PM, a 911 call was made that ouroffice building caught fire, resulting in the front office being mostly destroyed by fire damage. Almost everything inside our office space has melted and burned beyond use ever again. It was a very special place we all had, with love, pride, professionalism and spirit sown throughout the space. It shall be missed, along with all of our very special fishes and plants, which were all a part of our family.
The First Responders saved our warehouse area, which I cannot thank them enough for. Their hard work and pererverance to save the building literally saved our business from closing our doors for an indefinite amount of time due to total loss.
A big thank you to the 10x fire departments that came out late on a Friday night to save the building. We can't thank you all enough...
Thank you for the Chittenango, Canastota, and Madison County community for all of your support so far. It truly means so much to all of us during this incredibly painful and trying moment of time.

APOD: NGC 1850: Not Found in the Milky Way (2023 Feb 20)

Explanation: There is nothing like this ball of stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. This is surprising because, at first glance, this featured image by the Hubble Space Telescope suggests that star cluster NGC 1850's size and shape are reminiscent of the many ancient globular star clusters which roam our own Milky Way Galaxy's halo. But NGC 1850's stars are all too young, making it a type of star cluster with no known counterpart in the Milky Way. Moreover, NGC 1850 is also a double star cluster, with a second, compact cluster of stars visible here just to the right of the large cluster's center. Stars in the large cluster are estimated to be 50 million years young, while stars in the compact cluster are younger still, with an age of about 4 million years. A mere 168,000 light-years distant, NGC 1850 is located near the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy. The glowing gas filaments across the image left, like supernova remnants in our own galaxy, testify to violent stellar explosions and indicate that short-lived massive stars have recently been present in the region.

APOD: Comet ZTF over Yosemite Falls (2023 Feb 21)
Image Credit & Copyright: Tara Mostofi
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230221.html
Explanation: They are both falling. The water in Yosemite Falls, California, USA, is falling toward the Earth. Comet ZTF is falling toward the Sun. This double cosmic cascade was captured late last month as fading Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) had just passed its closest to planet Earth. The orange star just over the falls is Kochab. With the exception of a brief encounter with a black bear, the featured image was a well-planned composite of a moonlit-foreground and long-duration background exposures - all designed to reconstruct a deep version of an actual single sight. Although Comet ZTF is now fading as it glides back to the outer Solar System, its path is determined by gravity and so it can be considered to still be falling toward the Sun -- but backwards.

APOD: 2023 CX1 Meteor Flash (2023 Feb 17)
Image Credit & Copyright: Gijs de Reijke
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230217.html
Explanation: While scanning the skies for near earth objects Hungarian astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky first imaged the meter-sized space rock now cataloged as 2023 CX1 on 12 February 2023 at 20:18:07 UTC. That was about 7 hours before it impacted planet Earth's atmosphere. Its predicted trajectory created a rare opportunity for meteor observers and a last minute plan resulted in this spectacular image of the fireball, captured from the Netherlands as 2023 CX1 vaporized and broke up over northern France. Remarkably it was Sárneczky's second discovery of an impacting asteroid, while 2023 CX1 is only the seventh asteroid to be detected before being successfully predicted to impact Earth. It has recently become the third such object from which meteorites have been recovered. This fireball was witnessed almost 10 years to the day following the infamous Chelyabinsk Meteor flash.

APOD: Airglow Sky over France (2023 Feb 15)
Image Credit & Copyright: Julien Looten
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230215.html
Explanation: This unusual sky was both familiar and unfamiliar. The photographer's mission was to capture the arch of the familiar central band of our Milky Way Galaxy over a picturesque medieval manor. The surprise was that on this January evening, the foreground sky was found glowing in a beautiful but unfamiliar manner. The striped bands are called airglow and they result from air high in Earth's atmosphere being excited by the Sun's light and emitting a faint light of its own. The bands cross the entire sky -- their curved appearance is due to the extremely wide angle of the camera lens. In the foreground lies Château de Losse in southwest France. Other familiar sky delights dot the distant background including the bright white star Sirius, the orange planet Mars, the blue Pleiades star cluster, the red California Nebula, and, on the far right, the extended Andromeda Galaxy. The initial mission was also successful: across the top of the frame is the arching band of our Milky Way.

APOD: Comet ZTF and Mars (2023 Feb 13)
Image Credit & Copyright: Donato Lioce
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230213.html
Explanation: No, Comet ZTF is not going to hit Mars. Nicknamed the Green Comet for its bright green coma, C/2022 E3 (ZTF) did, however, pass almost in front of the much-more distant planet a few days ago, very near in time to when the featured picture was taken. The two sky icons were here captured behind a famous Earth icon -- the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Italian Alps with a picturesque peak. Both the foreground and background images were taken on the same evening by the same camera and from the same location. The comet's white dust tail is visible to the right of the green coma, while the light blue ion tail trails towards the top of the image. Orange Mars is well in front of the numerous background stars as well as the dark nebula Barnard 22 to its lower right. Although Mars remains visible in the evening sky for the next few months, Comet ZTF has already begun to fade as it returns to the outer Solar System.

About Us “The Team”
The Green Team was founded in September 2015 by Nate Secord as a Sole-Proprietorship. The Green Team headquarters is in Canastota, NY and is a centrally located in Upstate NY, enabling easy access to Western, Eastern, and the Southern Tier regions of NY. The Green Team serves the same upstate New York territories that are serviced by National Grid and NYSEG utility companies, using the energy efficiency programs these utilities offer to get customers the best value from their investment.
The Green Team was built on the understanding that light is a necessary part of everyday life. Light is something that is in poor quality around the world, even while there are excellent sources of clean, safe light that are available. Light is a necessary element to functional businesses, whether it is on the interior of the building or the exterior. The Green Team has identified safe, reliable, and efficient lighting sources that typically reduce power consumption generated from lighting by 60% or more, depending on the existing lighting system attributes.
As a responsible and ethical company, The Green Team ensures that customers are well educated of all the possibilities that lay before them to simultaneously save money and protect the environment. Partnering with local utility companies, The Green Team helps customers take advantage of every incentive and grant opportunity that helps pay for the investment in energy efficient lighting. The Green Team is also working with state and government grant agencies, like NYSERDA and the REDC in New York State. This cooperation allows customers to reduce initial investment costs significantly, seeing savings sooner rather than later.
It’s hard to ignore that we live in an age of ever expanding technological advances. The Green Team strives to stay ahead of the tide, staying up to date with leading lighting research and lending its own research and information to manufacturers and designers whenever it can. It is a company that stands by quality and the free sharing of information to better advance society.
