Fresh food grown in the microgravity environment of space officially is on the menu for the first time for NASA astronauts on the International Space Station. Expedition 44 crew members, including NASA’s one-year astronaut Scott Kelly, are ready to sample the fruits of their labor after harvesting a crop of “Outredgeous” red romaine lettuce Monday, Aug. 10, from the Veggie plant growth system on the nation’s orbiting laboratory.
The astronauts will clean the leafy greens with citric acid-based, food safe sanitizing wipes before consuming them. They will eat half of the space bounty, setting aside the other half to be packaged and frozen on the station until it can be returned to Earth for scientific analysis.

The Lure of the Koronus Expanse
Svard was founded about 200 years ago by the Black dynasty.
The Svard System is centred on an ancient star in the last millennia of its life. Once, it was home to numerous planetary bodies and flourishing biospheres. However, time and the brutal celestial forces of the void have reduced it to mostly asteroid fields and radiation clouds. Only a single true planet—Svard Prime—remains; a massive gas giant resting on the outer edge of the system’s dwindling bio-zone. As the star dies, however, and its gravity shadow shrinks, so too does its hold on the gas giant—setting off a rare sympathetic celestial phenomena which is diminishing the planet’s own mass. As a result, the gas giant is slowly losing the gravimetric pull to hold itself together and is gradually boiling away into the void. This has created the ‘storm’—an area of near void choked with charged particles and heavy vapours that now engulfs many of its moons. It is here among these moons, and within the storm, that the remnants of life in Svard remain.
Within the Storm of Svard-Prime, the primary moons are:
Svard, the Ice Moon – Svard is the primary settlement within the system.
Silence, the Saints Tower – Whilst the Ministorum maintains numerous shrines and temples on the moon of Svard, more extreme elements of the faith, led by a master sculptor named Quiva, decided to settle one of the nearby moons for their own purposes.
Cog, the Industrial Moon – On this moon, the people of Svard built a huge factory, which became known as the Cog, since it was the cog in the gears that made Svard turn.
Other locations with the storm include:
The Citadel of Psykers – An ancient solar station and its void born inhabitants, which has become lost in the Storm
The Hollow Worlds – Many of the smaller moons of Svard have been mined hollow over the centuries and then abandoned.
Kybu, the Hidden Jungle – Its subterranean tunnels teeming with a jungle of alien fungus created by one of Cog’s Magos.
Installation 23, the Promethium Refinery – a massive low orbital station and promethium refinery (located only a few thousand kilometres from the gas giant’s surface and well below even the lowest of the moons).

Our Solar System
They're out of this world! You'll be walking on sunshine! Insert your own space pun here!
Today’s post was written about a year and a half ago, when we released our solar system yarn. I’ve been puzzling over how to translate this striping pattern onto worsted yarn, so it’s been on my brain a lot lately and it seemed like a good time to share it here.
The solar system is mostly empty. Just nothingness and dust. Then every once in a while there is something unimaginably huge or comparatively tiny.
Mercury is around 58 million km from the sun, which sounds like a lot until you realize that Neptune is 4,498 million km from the sun. Saturn is 10 times the size of the Earth and Jupiter is nearly 30 times larger than Mercury.
In other words, the solar system is awkward to draw to scale.
The vastness of space is a real problem for someone who wants their socks to be an accurate representation of the cosmos, and an even bigger problem if that someone also does not want their socks to be longer than their legs. Since I am that someone, I had to get creative with stripes.
My first attempt at a Solar System striping pattern. The title says “Our Solar System” and the sun and each of eight planets are labeled and represented by colourful stripes. Below the stripes is a legend showing the distances represented by each colour.
I decided to use different colours to represent different orders of magnitude. So, for example, one stitch of dark orange on Jupiter is equivalent to 10 stitches of the pale orange. This compresses Jupiter and Saturn to reasonable sizes, and makes the billion and a half kilometres between Uranus and Neptune seem like a manageable distance.
The widths of the various stripes were determined by math and science. However, in regions that need both dark and light stripes, like the space between Saturn and Uranus, the placement of those stripes was determined purely by what I thought looked coolest.
My original sketches used paler colours for the smaller distances, and darker colours for the larger distances. While this was more satisfying in theory, it made for low contrast between the planets and space, and just didn't look as nice so I changed it.
Final Our Solar System striping pattern, plus actual socks knits up using the yarn.
Another change from my original sketches was including Pluto. Since it's generally considered a dwarf planet now, I left it out of the first draft. I quickly discovered that Instagram is teeming with pro-Pluto activists and folks who genuinely miss having a ninth planet in our solar system. Needless to say, I added it in. You'll need to make large socks to get all the way there, but now Pluto can be in your socks and well as in your heart.
I did not include any other dwarf planets or large moons or asteroid belts. If you are a fan of, say, Eros or Ceres, I strongly encourage you to find scrap yarn in a cheery colour and add them in yourself. You're already in a corner of the internet where people are reading paragraphs and paragraphs about solar system yarn, we are all going to just love any personal touches you add.
I used data from this NASA fact sheet. Since planets are not perfect spheres and planetary orbits are not perfect circles, distances and diameters are all averages or equatorial diameters. If, like me, you're excited but not particularly knowledgeable about the planets, this fact sheet is wildly interesting. Did you know that a day on Jupiter is 9.9 hours, or that Venus does not have a global magnetic field? Great stuff.
I've resisted the temptation to talk about the distance "between planets", even though that's how they're laid out in the graphic. Earth is, on average, 149.6 million km from the sun and Venus is 108.2, so I put 41.4 million km "between" them. Of course, Earth and Venus don't care about my yarn and spend, I assume, about half their time on opposite sides of the sun, much farther than 41.5 million km apart.
Finally, since a chart without a title is just multi-coloured chaos, I had some custom tags made and I'm including them with every skein. I hope you and/or the space nerd in your life enjoy that little detail as much as I do. Wear it with pride, nerds.

The reason that you don't see the stars during the day is that the sky is too bright. Sunlight scatters around in the air and makes the sky look bright blue.
But if you had a telescope and pointed it at a bright star you could still see it during the day. The stars are still there, just hard to see. The moon is bright enough that we can see it.

Rialto Beach is an excellent destination for landscape photographers. You can photograph pebbles, driftwood, sea stacks, and tide pools of starfish and anemones. The changing weather and tides add variety to this mix.
My goal was to get these sea stacks and the sun hitting the horizon near them. I had a difficult time finding foreground interest. Lining up the shot properly left me with few options, and the tide coming in at sunset left me with even less. There was one rock that I thought could work as foreground, but getting close enough to it would mean getting wet. Waves coming in around the tripod legs caused them to sink into the sand and tilt the camera.
So it’s difficult to get this shot. Since it’s at least a 4-hour drive from the Seattle area, it’s an overnight trip. The weather and tides have to be right, and it has to happen when I can get out there on time and stay the night. But on this occasion I’d also brought a lens I’d purchased for shooting at night, the Bower 24mm f 1.4 AS UMC. This lens is ideal for night sky photography because there is very little distortion at the edges. Edge distortion will cause stars furthest from the center of the image to look elongated and discolored.
Knowing my sunset shots were not going to work, I wanted to get a night shot that would. As always, it’s a long trip to come back empty-handed from. I went back out at the start of astronomical twilight and started shooting. The outline of the sea stacks against the sky was all I needed to put together a decent composition. I decided against trying a longer exposure with some sort of foreground because it would need artificial lighting. My biggest challenge shooting this late is getting the stars in focus. My process is to take test a shot, zoom in on a particular star in the LCD, adjust the focus a bit, and repeat until it’s sharp. Some day cameras will be capable of doing this in Live View, but for now it’s very manual.
In the end I was able to create this image. We’re facing west-northwest here so there’s no possibility of having the Milky Way in frame. That would have been interesting, but altered the feeling a bit. I like this image because it’s so quiet, so empty. You see a solitary tree on top of a sea stack, reaching up to the stars, and the rest of the universe. There’s a strong sense of timelessness, that we could go back to this location years later and find it completely unchanged. There is stability here. I hope you like it!


NASA’s space telescope, Hubble, has become the subject of chatter once again.
There was a lot of hype late last year when a change in controls for the flagship space observatory prompted the telescope to reboot — NASA had made the change to facilitate its robot, NASA’s Robonaut, from operating outside of the Johnson Space Center on Earth to operating aboard the International Space Station.
But Hubble went back to rebooting and since then the telescope has been experiencing some serious problems: malfunctions involving mirrors or sensors inside the telescope’s mirrors, according to NASA.
“On Aug. 18, Hubble experienced a calibration problem with a primary mirror mirror after a few weeks of operations. The telescope restarted itself while in the safe mode and [at] higher than usual rates. During these operations, Hubble detected small insets in the telescope mirror that had the appearance of a crater on a star. The anomalies on the mirror mirror are being evaluated and will not affect science during Hubble’s upcoming visit to the observatory,” NASA said in a statement.
The earliest Hubble is expected to turn on is Oct. 15 and shortly thereafter, NASA said, the telescope will have to undergo inspections of both its main mirror mirror as well as some of its more-complicated gyroscopes.
“You can only spend so much time working on a telescope before something goes wrong and if Hubble gets hit with bad weather it may only work for a limited time, since its science lifetime is only expected to be about 20 years,” astronaut Donald Pettit said during a televised briefing in March.
And, while Pettit and other ISS astronauts have worked for months on end to fix the Hubble problems, Hubble’s previous orbital quirks have already complicated the nature of the missions:
“The problem has been an ongoing issue for Hubble — a sometimes mirror-weakening Earth gyro might get reset and become unusable, then some controllers would attempt to replace the gyro’s parts, but the mirror and gyro was reset again,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told reporters on April 2.
Over the next several months, during a Hubble servicing mission, astronauts are expected to do some big things: they’ll be installing new science gear on the telescope, including a new wide-field camera, a new infrared imager and more. During that mission, the astronauts are also expected to do a major overhaul on Hubble’s batteries and gyroscopes, which have already been on the shelf for several years.
“So rather than dispatch one gyro as was planned several years ago, we are now going to dispatch multiple gyros on the Hubble mission,” Bridenstine said, according to NationalGeographic.com.


We went up to Cape Perpetua before our breakfast. I’d been there before after the eclipse in 2017 with Christa and friends. That year the sky was full of smoke.
Today the sun was shielded by some haze coming from the Pacific Ocean. I wasn’t clear in mind about going there a second time. The impressive view of Heceta Head lighthouse the day before hadn’t left me.
Black and white gives more meaning and feeling than faded colors. But it’s already long time ago and far, far away.

All Standard Disclaimers Apply
We were given a challenge on Zoom's boards to take any episode and negate it by undoing the reason for the A-Plot.
Superman entered the observatory with a whoosh that sent papers flying and watched the scientist peer into the telescope. "You wanted to see me, Professor Daitch?" he asked quietly.
The scientist turned around, startled. "Superman?" he gasped.
"Mind if I take a look?" Superman asked, taking a tentative step towards the large telescope.
Daitch stepped aside and gestured towards the device. "I thought you had enhanced visual abilities?" he questioned, puzzled as to why *Superman* needed to use a telescope.
"I do," Superman replied, "but even I have my limits." He walked over to the telescope and peered into the eyepiece.
Superman stared into it for a moment and then turned to the scientist. "Are you sure that it's an asteroid?" he asked, a concerned look on his face. "It looks more like a large splotch of bird guano to me."
"But Superman, there *is* an asteroid," the scientist insisted.
"Yes, there is," Superman agreed quickly. "But from the location on the telescope, it will probably miss the Earth by several million miles… what you are seeing, sir, is bird guano." He smiled at the professor. "I'll go clean the lens for you — it'll only take a second."
Superman flew quickly out the window and up to the lens. Sure enough, he had been right. He pulled a handkerchief out of one of the pockets his mother had sewn in the cape and carefully cleaned the lens, using superspit when necessary to get rid of the mess.
A few seconds later, he flew back into the observatory. "Is that better, Professor?" he enquired.
Professor Daitch looked in the telescope and breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Superman," he said gratefully. "I had better go call a press conference before the world starts to panic over a spot on my telescope!"
"My pleasure, Professor." Superman flew out the window and home to his apartment, thankful that it had been a false alarm.

1 the brightest star in Leo
2 a genus of birds of the family Sylviidae including kinglets [syn: genus Regulus]
Etymologyregulus, a petty king.
Regulus (α Leo / α Leonis / Alpha Leonis) is the brightest star in the constellation Leo and one of the brightest stars in the nighttime sky. Regulus is approximately 77.5 light years from Earth’s Solar System. Regulus is considered the last first magnitude star in the sky because the next brightest star, Adhara, has a magnitude of 1.50, officially making it a second magnitude star.
Of the brightest stars in the sky, Regulus is closest to the ecliptic, and is regularly occulted by the Moon. Occultations by the planets Mercury and Venus are also possible but rare. The last occultation of Regulus by a planet was on July 9, 1959, by Venus. The next will occur on October 1, 2044, also by Venus. Other planets will not occult Regulus over the next few millennia because of their node positions.
The Sun makes its closest approach to Regulus around August 23 of each year. For most Earth observers, the heliacal rising of Regulus occurs in the first week of September. Every 8 years, Venus passes Regulus around the time of the star's heliacal rising, most recently in 2006.
Regulus has about 3.5 times the Sun’s mass and is a young star of only a few hundred million years. It is spinning extremely rapidly, with a rotation period of only 15.9 hours, which causes it to have a highly oblate shape. This results in so-called gravity darkening: the photosphere at Regulus' poles is considerably hotter, and five times brighter per unit surface area, than its equatorial region. If it were rotating only 16% faster, centripetal force would overcome gravity and the star would tear itself apart.
Regulus is a multiple star system composed of a hot, bright, bluish-white star with a pair of small, faint companions. The pair orbits the much-larger Regulus A with a period of over 130,000 years at a distance of some 4,200 AU. The companion pair have an orbital period of 2,000 years and are separated by about 100 AU.
Etymology and Cultural Associations
Regulus is Latin for 'prince' or 'little king'. The Greek variant Basiliscus is also used. It is known as Qalb Al Asad, from the Arabic قلب لأسد or Qalb[u] Al-´asad, meaning 'the heart of the lion'. This phrase is sometimes approximated as Kabelaced and translates into Latin as Cor Leonis. It is known in Chinese as 轩辕十四, the Fourteenth Star of Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor. In Hindu astronomy, Regulus corresponds to the Nakshatra Magha.
Persian astrologers around 3000 BC knew Regulus as Venant, one of the four 'royal stars'. It was one of the fifteen Behenian stars known to medieval astrologers, associated with granite, mugwort, and the kabbalistic symbol

Holding a glorious tenth place out of ten candidates in today's presidential election in France is Jacques Cheminade, with support somewhere around a stupendous 0.2% of the total vote, who perhaps coincidentally was the only candidate with an advanced policy on space exploration:
For thirty years, space policy has been suffering from an economic logic based on short-term gain, and from lack of understanding by a hostile public opinion which considers it too expensive, unnecessary, fanciful and emblematic of a spirit of unlimited conquest. Faced with this regressive vision of a finite world, we need to revive what is proper to man: the deep desire to constantly push the limits of the known, the enthusiasm to discover new principles of the universe and use it to drive the long-term economy and improve the world for generations to come.
- Demand that the budget of the European Space Agency (ESA) be immediately tripled, and staff a large worldwide space program with a budget of $500 billion, of which $150 billion for Europe and $40 billion for France. Space should not be a military issue but the horizon of a common humanity able to renounce war.
- Launch a major scientific and cultural education project, and introduce modules on space and astronomy in our schools, in collaboration with countries elsewhere in Europe and the rest of the world taking similar initiatives.
- Install a more effective space warning system, against the intrusion of asteroids or comets in Earth's atmosphere.
- Initiate programs to build third-generation space transports, and the industrialization of the Moon, which is a future platform for Mars and the rest of the Solar System.
- Using programs already developed in electronics, computers, hybrid flight control systems, new refractory materials, thermal protection in general and mechanical and aerothermal constraints to go first to the moon, and from there to Mars.
- To shorten future trips between Earth and Mars and beyond, develop nuclear propulsion (propulsion by a miniaturized controlled thermonuclear fusion device).
A major space program is impossible in the current economic and cultural system, which is why we must change the system.
That's the summary; the full policy can be found here. (Apparently the printed version of his full electoral platform runs to 368 pages.) As my father once said, "One can learn something of the tendencies in a society by observing on which particular fringe of it the lunatics break out."
Cheminade is now considering whether to give his supporters guidance on whether to support Sarkozy or Hollande in the second round on 6 May. France is waiting with bated breath.
One response to “Space exploration rejected by French voters”
I’ve been listening to this series as audiobooks read by David Tennant — he gives an excellent performance, which more than compensates for a lot of the silliness.

Are you also tired of binging Netflix series and watching the news non-stop? We get it! And we've found the perfect remedy to give your tired eyes a break. Check out our ‘stargazing near me’ list and find the best spot for your stargazing experience.
Most of us think of pollution as CO2 and other gasses that we let out into the atmosphere that cause global warming, but there are actually many different types of pollution. Did you know that sound and light pollution is also something that disturbs our environment? Light pollution in big cities, industrial areas, villages and towns is an issue for wildlife and it means that it ever really gets dark because there are always some electric lights shining. As it never gets completely dark it also makes it difficult for us to see the stars, so if you have only ever watched the stars from a city or a village we really recommend you treat yourself to a stargazing trip! We promise you will not be dissapointed.
To make sure we will continue to have places around the world without light pollution, the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) certifies and protects areas with particularly astounding starry night skies. There are Dark-sky parks and reserves all over the world so if you are wondering “where can I go stargazing near me” then read on and find the park closest to you!
You don’t need to be an astronomy enthusiast, know all the constellations or own a telescope or even binoculars to enjoy stargazing. A starry night sky is beautiful and impressive no matter how much or how little you know about it and can certainly be enjoyed by everyone! To get started you can of course try to spot some stars through your window, in your garden or maybe from your balcony or terrace at night. But for the most amazing stargazing experience (for beginners and enthusiasts) we have made a list of some Dark-Sky parks in Europe and places you can stay in or around them. If you are not close to one of these parks, there is no need to worry. Just getting out of the city, away from the lights and dense populations, into the countryside, the mountains, or other natural areas, will often guarantee you a beautiful starry night sky.
Ireland and Great Britain have quite a few Dark-Sky Parks and Reserves that you can visit, and we have found some of our campspaces close by so you can easily go to the centre of the reserve, or just watch them from outside your tent, campervan or accommodation.
Ireland & Northern Ireland
In the south of Ireland you can find the Kerry International Dark Sky Reserve which covers about 700 square kilometres and is enclosed by the Atlantic coast also known as the Wild Atlantic to the west and the Kerry Mountains to the east. These two barriers really make the Kerry Dark Sky Park great for some surprisingly breathtaking stargazing! If you are ever in this area or anywhere nearby, don’t rob yourself of a stargazing experience here. You can bring your own tent or camper to a peaceful park or make it a luxury stargazing experience by staying the night at a yurt right next to the Atlantic.
In the north of Ireland you can find the Ballycroy National Park and Wild Nephin Wilderness, another Dark Sky park which is a huge wild area with almost no light pollution and perfect conditions for a pitch black sky on which you can really see the stars like you have never seen them before. Pitch your tent or park your camper on the edge of the ocean or in a secluded garden close to the sea and get ready to be amazed by the beautiful night sky.
Are you in Northern Ireland? Then find a spot in or near the Davagh Forest Park among wild forest and mountain sides. The core of this Dark Sky Park is farmed by the Beaghmore Stone Circle from the Bronze Age, so you can even combine stargazing with history here. A Dark Sky Observatory and Visitor Centre was opened in the forest in 2020, so you can enhance your stargazing experience from here.
One of the most well known Dark Sky parks in Europe is the Galloway Forest Park in Scotland. It has been a classified Dark Sky park for more than a half a century and with its 78,000 hectares it is UK’s biggest as well. No permanent illumination is allowed in the core of this park, so bring your red-light (and normal) torch to enjoy some outstanding stargazing and catch a glimpse of the amazing wildlife here. Visit our Scottish yurt while you are here and take a stargazing trip to the Galloway Forest Park.
The Gairngorms National Park in Scotland is not only a wondrous National Park it also forms the majority of the Tomintoul and Glenlivet - Cairngorms International Dark Sky Park. As it is a National Park you can also see Britain's only herd of reindeers if you are really lucky and even the last remaining trees of an ancient Scottish temperate rainforest called Caledonian Forest. So make it a day trip and enjoy the unique nature and impressive night sky at Gairngorms. Pitch your tent or bring your camper to one of the campspaces nearby - maybe you will even be blown away by the night sky at one of these places.
In England they have no less than seven Dark Sky Parks. So you could even do a stargazing roadtrip to find your favourite stargazing spot near you!
In the very south of England there are no less than four International Dark Sky Parks. So are you in England and want to swap the city lights for some stargazing for a bit, then you have plenty of great options! By the coast straight south from London you will find the South Downs National Park which is also known as the Dark Sky Moore’s Reserve. It might be difficult to believe that you can experience a sky dark enough for you to be able to enjoy some amazing stargazing at night, but this is the proof. You can easily find a spot to go with your tent or camper or treat yourself to a bit of luxury instead and have the ultimate stargazing experience from an amazing yurt or a glamping spot!
Moving west from the Moore’s Reserve you will find the Cranborne Chase Dark Sky Park which you can experience from the comfort of your own tent at this relaxing campspace or from a luxurious glamping spot instead. Close to the west coast the Exmoor National Park has also been classified as a Dark Sky Park and here you will find one of the darkest skies in England. Try a camping/glamping experience with dinner and breakfast included on the outskirts of the national park or opt for a yurt stargazing experience. Close by in the Cornwall region you will also find the Bodmin Moor Dark Sky Landscape where you can watch the starry night sky over the ocean.
To find the last three Dark Sky Parks in England you will have to go further north. A popular and very beautiful one is the Northumberland National Park and Kielder Water and Forest Park which is located just across the border from Scotland. A bit further south from the borderland the two remaining parks can be found: Yorkshire Dales National Park in the west and North York Moors National Park in the east not far off the coast, so if you are doing an east coast trip in England do make a stop here. You can stay in a charming little gypsy wagon or you can pitch your own tent at this neat bungalow garden and experience the dark sky magic.
If we talk about country size to Dark Sky Parks ratio Wales is definitely very high on the list. Here you can find no less than three Dark Sky Parks spread nicely from north to south, so no matter where you are in the country you will be close to one, so do give yourself a stargazing experience when you are in Wales. All three parks provide perfect conditions for absolutely stunning stargazing. The Snowdonia National Park is close to the coast and between the hills, the water, and the stars you will be sure to find peace. If you want to escape to the peaceful north of Wales a a peaceful rural sanctuary might be just what you need.
In the south the Brecon Beacons National Park is also a utopia for stargazing, and more or less halfway between these two parks is the Elan Valley Estate which is also absolutely amazing. If you want a luxury stargazing experience you can choose between some amazing glamping experiences in and around the Elan Valley Estate. Try glamping in a tipi at an amazing eco retreat, with a hot tub or in a soaring tree tent!
No matter if you are in Germany or just travelling through the country on your way around Europe we recommend a stopover at one of their four classified Dark Sky Parks which are spread across the country. The most popular one is probably Eifel National Park which is in the stunning region of North Rhine-Westphalia close to the Belgium border. So do you find yourself in this area at anytime make a stop at this warm and welcoming campspace you across the border or find your way to this beautiful camping spot in German nature.
In the south of the country just across the Austrian border you have the Winklmoosalm, in central Germany you can find Rhön, and just northwest from Berlin you will find Westhavelland, another beautiful Dark Sky Park. If you find yourself in one of these areas don’t rob yourself of an amazing stargazing experience.
In The Netherlands you can also find some very dark night sky that is perfect for stargazing. There are two parks: Lauwersmeer National Park and De Boschplaat which are both in the very north of the country by the sea. So in this area you will definitely be able to experience some top notch stargazing! This area does not only have beautiful starry night skies it is also home to part of the UNESCO World Heritage site the Wadden Sea, making this area great for day and night time activities.
You can enjoy the Dark Sky Park of Lauwersmeer National Park from one of our campspaces in the area and you won’t even have to leave it to see the starry night sky, just go outside your tent, camper, or cabin and get ready to be amazed!

In Spain there is one certified Dark Sky Park: Albanyà in the region of Catalonia, on the east coast right across the border from France. In the Bassegoda Park, which forms part of the Dark Sky Park you can join a stargazing tour great for beginners if you want to learn more about constellations and just learn a bit more about the bright and shining wonders above us. If you want to have an even closer look the park has set up a telescope for you to do exactly that. If you prefer to explore the stars on the night sky on your own, you can also find several spots in the area that are highly popular for a more private stargazing experience.
The most private stargazing experience you can probably get is at this wonderful spacious farm where you can bring your own tent or camper. If you are not crazy about the idea of farm camping you can still stay close by at another beautiful and peaceful campspace. Although Albanyà is the only official Dark Sky Park in Spain, you can still be amazed by impressive stargazing in other areas of Spain, like at this gorgeous olive farm south of Tarragona or other places in nature away from city lights.
Although Portugal does not have an official IDA dark sky park yet, you can easily find areas in this beautiful country where you can enjoy some mesmerizing stargazing. The Alentejo region in the areas surrounding the Alqueva Lake that is located right by the Spanish border does promote itself as a dark sky attraction. So if you ever find yourself in this region do go outside at night and take some time to be amazed by the starry night skies here. You can choose between luxurious glamping in an eco yurt between cork and olive trees, a charming log cabin, or a modern shepherd's hut. Are you with your own tent or camper, you can stay on a small farm in the beautiful countryside.
Forget about Paris and city trips, get out into the mountains or the vineyards where the night sky will look so big, beautiful and powerful. In France there are three certified Dark Sky Parks, all in the south of the country. Alpes Azur Mercantour by the Italian border just north of Monaco, Pic du Midi close to the Spanish border and Cévennes National Park half way between the other two parks. The Pic du Midi Dark Sky Park lies within the Pyrénées National Park and is the biggest Dark Sky Reserve in Europe. Here you can visit the Pic du Midi Observatory where you can get a closer look at the stars on a perfectly dark canvas through their telescope.
If you just want to enjoy the view, then bring a blanket and fall asleep under the stars at this cosy mini eco campspace right at the foot of the Pyrénées or this secluded and relaxing retreat in the countryside of the mountains.
Italy has also yet to get their first officially IDA classified dark sky park, but here you can also still find impressive starry night skies. Are you in the north of Italy then you can visit South Tyrol for some great stargazing in the mountains on the Swiss-Italian border. You can choose between bringing your own tent or camper to a charming campspace on the Italian or the Swiss side.
If you are in Tuscany or passing the area on your way north or south then this is of course a great spot for stargazing, and you can step into the historical footsteps of Galileo Galilei who developed his telescope here, and he made many great discoveries with that. If a region can inspire the development of a great telescope, it is worth having a look at how some stunning stargazing can inspire you. Make a luxurious stargazing experience by staying in a glamorous yurt in wild nature or maybe a caravan or a lodge between vineyards and olive trees is what you need? If you prefer pitching your own tent among olive trees then we’ve also got you covered.
Are you not close to any of these dark sky parks? Then have a look at the dark sky park map and see if you can find one close to you, or just take a trip to the countryside where the stars don’t have to compete with the city lights.

Tycho Brahe Heritage Centre, Ven
Unique scientific setting
Tycho Brahe's discovery of a new bright star sent echoes far and wide, and the Danish king, much impressed, invited him to establish an observatory on the small island of Ven in the Öresund. Over 21 years, 1576-1597, Tycho Brahe built up an astronomical centre around the island's highest point. He named his splendid residence Uraniborg, and the world had never seen its like. In this two-floor renaissance palace he also developed astronomical instruments of a level not seen previously, and when Uraniborg was no longer enough he built a new underground facility: Stjärneborg. Brahe gradually fell out with both the local population and the king. By 1597 the breakdown in relations was absolute and Brahe took up a post with Kaiser Rudolf in Prague, taking his most valuable instruments with him.
The people of Ven did not mourn the loss of this demanding scientist, and the once so enthusiastic king had Uraniborg torn down in 1616. Before long the relics of a great and remarkable scientific era were more or less eradicated.
Today the site of the Brahe Heritage Centre is protected. It includes the Tycho Brahe museum, which is housed in the former Allhelgona Church and tells the story of Tycho Brahe's life and science. Of Uraniborg all that is left is a few foundation stones and a well, while the remains of the underground Stjärneborg can be viewed from a glazed platform. Brahe's garden, which was planned with strict geometric precision, has been reconstructed. This sixteenth century garden has been recreated using plants that would have been found on Ven, or in Denmark, in Tycho Brahe's time. There is also a playground with a historical theme and a Planet Walk according to scale.

If we are the only intelligent life in the Universe - what does that make us?
Chagga-mzungu.com/ The discussion on synchronicity will argue that the the relevancy of coincidence makes our planet unique in that it is the only one that has the beauty of life in the whole universe. This remains so until we discover life in another solar system. The argument is based on two reasons - statistically we need a binary in the 'infinity' all we have is a +1 and secondly the rarest compound in the universe is H2O - what little there is - is found here and in our sector of the Milky Way. So we need to ask - if we are the only planet in the universe with life - what does that make us?

The exoplanets are 1.6 and 1.4 times the diameter of Earth respectively, with their star Kepler-62 at a distance of 1,200 light-years. In April 2013, it was announced that of the five planets orbiting Kepler-62, at least two—Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f—are within the boundaries of the habitable zone of that star, where scientists think liquid water could exist, and are both candidates for being a solid, rocky, earth-like planet.  The star was the first single main-sequence star other than the Sun to be known to emit X-rays, and is surrounded by a circumstellar debris disk, similar to the Kuiper Belt. The central star, V477 Lyrae, is an eclipsing post-common-envelope binary, consisting of a white dwarf primary and an oversized secondary component due to recent accretion. With his singing and playing he charmed the ferryman Charon and the dog Cerberus, guardians of the River Styx. The Am star has an additional close companion, bringing the total number of stars in the system to three. The brightest star in the constellation is Vega (Alpha Lyrae), a main-sequence star of spectral type A0Va.  The Kepler-20 system contains five known planets; three of them are only slightly smaller than Neptune, while the other two are some of the first Earth-sized exoplanets to be discovered.

It is unique in that it is the only known Cepheid in the Milky Way to undergo periodic phase and amplitude changes, analogous to the Blazhko effect in RR Lyrae stars.  The host galaxy proved elusive to find at first, although it was subsequently identified. Both components are themselves close binaries which can be seen with telescopes to consist of A- and F-type stars, and a faint star was recently found to orbit component C as well, for a total of five stars. Lyra is one of three constellations (along with neighboring Cygnus and Draco) to be in the Kepler Mission's field of view, and as such it contains many more known exoplanets than most constellations. The brighter and closer of the two, Delta2 Lyrae, is a 4th-magnitude red bright giant that varies semiregularly by around 0.2 magnitudes with a dominant period of 79 days, while the fainter Delta1 Lyrae is a spectroscopic binary consisting of a B-type primary and an unknown secondary.

Of the same type is V344 Lyrae, notable for an extremely short period between superoutbursts coupled with one of the highest amplitudes for such a period. They threw his head into a river, and it kept on singing all the way to the sea.  The easternmost star designated by Flamsteed, 19 Lyrae, is also a small-amplitude variable, an Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable with a period of just over one day.  Lyra was known as Urcuchillay by the Incas and was worshipped as an animal deity. Just north of Theta and of almost exactly the same magnitude is Eta Lyrae, a blue subgiant with a near-solar metal abundance.  Only 7.7 parsecs distant, Vega is a Delta Scuti variable, varying between magnitudes −0.02 and 0.07 over 0.2 days. General CommentThis is a re-write of the Greek myth of Orpheus and his wife Eurydice.Although Cave altered the content of the myth. Hades set one condition, however: upon leaving the land of death, both Orpheus and Eurydice were forbidden to look back.  The plane of the orbit is aligned with Earth and the system thus shows eclipses, dropping nearly a full magnitude from its 3rd-magnitude baseline every 13 days, although its period is increasing by around 19 seconds per year. The story of Orpheus and Eurydice is the ultimate tragic love story. He became the patron of a religious movement based on sacred writings said to be his own. He came at last to the great gate that opens upon the World of the Dead. Lyra represents the lyre of Orpheus, the musician and poet in Greek mythology who was killed by the Bacchantes. One of the first discovered by the mission is Kepler-7b, an extremely low-density exoplanet with less than half the mass of Jupiter, yet nearly 1.5 times the radius. There, he was supposed to take part in the festivities of yet another famous wedding, that of the darlings of the Ancient world, Orpheus and Eurydice.  Just short of naked-eye visibility is HD 178911, a triple system consisting of a close binary and a visually separable sunlike star. It appears prominently in the northern sky during the Northern Hemisphere's summer, and the whole constellation is visible for at least part of the year to observers north of latitude 42°S. ORPHEUS IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY Orpheus in Greek Mythology Orpheus was the most famous musician spoken of in the tales of Greek mythology. In some later Christian tombs, Orpheus is shown delivering the Sermon on the Mount or acting as “the Good Shepherd” (C. Scott Littleton, Gods, goddesses, and mythology, Volume 5, 1058) He failed to win her back and was killed by a band of bacchantes The afterglow re-brightened at 33 minutes after the original burst, only the third found to exhibit such an effect in the timeframe, and unable to be completely explained by known phenomena.  Originally classified as a VY Sculptoris star due to spending most time at maximum brightness, since around 1979 the system has been dominantly at minimum brightness, with periodic outbursts. , One of the most peculiar systems in Lyra is MV Lyrae, a nova-like star consisting of a red dwarf and a white dwarf.  Only slightly farther away is V478 Lyrae, an eclipsing RS Canum Venaticorum variable whose primary star shows active starspot activity. Orpheus’s singing and playing were so beautiful that animals and even trees and rocks moved about him in dance. one of the brightest stars in the night sky, "Elemental abundance analyses with DAO spectrograms", 10.1002/1521-3994(200207)323:2<87::AID-ASNA87>3.0.CO;2-P, "Variable Star Type Designations in the VSX", American Association of Variable Star Observers, "Long‐TermVRIPhotometry of Small‐Amplitude Red Variables.  Also discovered by the transit method is WASP-3b, with 1.75 times the mass of Jupiter. IV. English astronomer John Flamsteed observed and labelled two stars each as delta, epsilon, zeta and nu. Zeta forms a wide binary star visible in binoculars, consisting of an Am star and an F-type subgiant. Detected from a transit of its parent star, the planet has around 3/4 the mass of Jupiter, yet orbits its parent star in only three days. From the equator to about the 40th parallel south it is visible low in the northern sky during the same (thus winter) months. The system was one of the first main-sequence eclipsing binaries containing G-type star to have its properties known as well as the better-studied early-type eclipsing binaries. Ovid tells a rather different story, saying that women, in retribution for Orpheus's rejection of marriage offers, ganged up and threw stones and spears. Traditionally, Orpheus was the son of a Muse (probably Calliope, the patron of epic poetry) and Oeagrus, a king of Thrace (other versions give Apollo). These binary stars are so close to each other that they become egg-shaped and material flows from one to the other. Orpheus was famed for having travelled onboard the Argo, as well as having descended into the Underworld. Orpheus, a figure who appears in Greek mythology as the son of Apollo and a Nymph, was known for his beautiful lyre playing which charmed the wild beasts, trees and rocks.  South of Delta is Gamma Lyrae, a blue giant and the second-brightest star in the constellation. Both myths then state that his lyre was placed in the sky by Zeus, and Orpheus' bones buried by the muses. Orpheus and his lyre Orpheus was a talented musician. Around 190 parsecs distant, it has been referred to as a "superficially normal" star. Articles from Britannica Encyclopedias for elementary and high school students. When Orpheus fell in love with Eurydice, he wooed her with his song. While every effort has been made to follow citation style rules, there may be some discrepancies. He could charm rocks and rivers with his music. By signing up for this email, you are agreeing to news, offers, and information from Encyclopaedia Britannica.  Another evolved star is EP Lyrae, a faint RV Tauri variable and an "extreme example" of a post-AGB star. According to Greek mythology, the hero Orpheus was a poet and musician who sang and played music so beautifully that all who heard it were enchanted.Animals, trees, and even rocks moved about him in time to his music. The Lyre of Orpheus may refer to: The lyre belonging to the legendary Greek figure Orpheus The Lyre of Orpheus (novel), a novel by Robertson Davies Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus, an album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, or the song "The Lyre of Orpheus"  The transits have been reported to have anomalies multiple times. Unfortunately, before their wedding, Orpheus's brother, Aristaeus loved Eurydike and wanted to marry her. While parts of the constellation technically rise above the horizon to observers between 42°S and 64°S, stars within a few degrees of the horizon are to all intents and purposes unobservable. Vega is one of the most-magnificent of all stars, and has been called "arguably the next most important star in the sky after the Sun".

If before this law is constantly changing gravitational force and mass of the Sun in the direction of decreasing, and the distance in the direction of increasing, the mass of the Earth remained unchanged. The arrival of the moon changed the mass of the Earth? – They do not have moons! Not one! While all the planets passing through a 'green' zone, at least 2 of the moon. It is logical to assume that the moon comes to planets in the period of 'green' zones – life on the planet. Patrick mahomes often expresses his thoughts on the topic. F M (h + l) – total mass of the Earth and moon. Gravitational force has increased dramatically in value of the mass of the moon, which is 1 / 6 of Earth's mass. And the earth with the moon rushed to the Sun. The climate warmed abruptly. Started the rapid melting ices. The water was flowing on all the continents, filling the rivers, seas and oceans, rising sea level flooded low-lying coastal lands of the continents, clouds covered the entire sky and out of weeks of pouring rains – the water was flowing everywhere – on land and from the sky, destroying everything in its path. Only mountains can resist this element At the same time, a significant part of the land freed from the ice. Map of the Earth has become such as we see it now. The arrival of the moon was a great disaster for the living on Earth, but life on the planet lasted for many, many thousands of years / With the advent of the moon began a new life cycle on Earth.


Eclipse Information - Monday, August 21
The only “safe” time to look at the eclipse without safety equipment is during the 2 minutes or so of totality. We will not be in the path of totality. See the link for a map that shows the path of totality. https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/interactive_map/index.html
It will not be safe for anyone to look directly at the sun without safety equipment being correctly and consistently used at any time in Flanagan such as Eyeglasses designed for solar eclipse, welding helmet, pinhole viewer, reverse shadow, NASA and other website streaming. Without these items, eye damage will occur. Sunglasses are not considered safe when viewing an eclipse.
It is completely safe to be outside, to look out the window at the sunlight on the ground or the sky without looking directly at the sun. It is safe to view the eclipse on TV or the internet.
We strongly encourage you to purchase quality eclipse viewing glasses if you intend to watch the eclipse from home. The effect of the sun’s damage to your retinas is cumulative, meaning that it is not safe to take several small glances at the sun without protection.
TIMING OF ECLIPSE:
Start (Moon hits edge of sun) 11:51 am
Maximum (moon covering approximately 90% of sun) 1:17-1:19 pm
End (last edge of the moon away from the sun) 2:42 pm
WHAT WE CAN OBSERVE FROM INSIDE:
The school is planning to have showings of the eclipse in classrooms and the library. Some of our classes will be going outside to view the eclipse using appropriate safety equipment.
