- This coming Sunday, 20 May, a very special solar eclipse will take place. Viewable only in Asia and on the West Coast of North America, this is a once-in-a-lot-of-lifetimes event. Read about it here: https://www.facebook.com/sun.gazing47
An excerpt from that page appears here:
“On May 20, 2012, for the first time in 26,000 years, the Sun and Moon, and the constellation responsible for our spiritual evolution and ascension, the mystic Pleiades, will align in a spectacular, full Annular Solar Eclipse and a rare solar eclipse alignment will happen between the Earth, the Sun and, our central Sun, Alcyone in the Pleiades Constellation.”
Stay tuned for advice on how to take advantage of the very special energy aligned with this event or, if you have sources of your own that can tell you, search them out. Feel free to post your findings and advice in a comment below.
Special note to Starpeople: If you’re from the Pleiades cluster, you’re especially going to want to take part in the celebration of this eclipse!


A State Party to whose register an object fired in outer space is transported shall retain jurisdiction and control over that object and its personnel in outer space or over a celestial body. The ownership of objects fired in space, including objects landed or built on a celestial body, and their components, is not influenced by their presence in space or on a celestial body or by their return to Earth. Objects or items found outside the borders of the State Party in whose register they are inscribed shall be returned to that State Party, which shall, upon request, transmit identifying data for response prior to their return. „The Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the Return of Objects Launched into Space“ The Signatories agree to take all possible measures to assist or rescue astronauts in distress and, if necessary, return them to the nation from which they took off. In addition, the signatories undertake to assist in the return to the sponsoring nation of space objects that land on Earth outside the country from which they were launched. Starting in 2013, NASA`s plans to capture an asteroid by 2021 raised questions about how space law would be applied in practice.  Since the Cold War, the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (the „Outer Space Treaty“) and the International Telecommunication Union have served as the constitutional framework and as principles and procedures constituting space law.   In addition, the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) and its legal, scientific and technical subcommittees are responsible for examining issues relating to international space law and international space policy. The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) is the secretariat of the Committee and promotes access to space for all through a wide range of conferences and capacity-building programmes.  The challenges that space law will continue to face are four times greater: they cover the dimensions of national compliance, international cooperation, ethics and the emergence of scientific innovation.    In addition, universal guidelines for the definition of airspace have yet to be defined.  Inspired by the great prospects that open up to humanity through man`s entry into space, a „good set of rules“ creates guaranteed sanctions „in case of non-compliance“, Dr.

Eta-earths are planets out in space that are about the same size as earth and that fall in the Goldilocks zone – not too hot and not too cold, with water. restricting themselves to 42,000 well-behaved stars, Eric Petagura and his team from the University of California, Berkley, found 603 planets among which 10 might well be eta-earths.Using data sent back to earth from the Kepler probe, Dr. Petagura said about finding them, “It was a ton of work.” He and his team had to try out 10s of billions of different periods for each star. The team used a virtual computer model counting the blips each planet made passing its star. If the conditions on our rocky planet earth could eventually produce intelligent life, couldn’t eta-earths do likewise? Although the closest eta-earth if only 12 light years from our earth, will we figure out a way to get there before we drown ourselves or blow ourselves up? It seems as if it is too late to save some of us from drowning.
James Balog, using time-lapse photography, in his National Geographic video, Chasing Ice, shows just how far several glaciers in Alaska, Greenland and Iceland have receded in just two years. His video is not based on computer projections nor charts and graphs, but on actual time-lapse photography over a two-year period using several cameras in three different countries. Balog’s work provides uncontroversial proof of global warming. Further, he shows how cryocarbite, a mixture of Sahara sand, carbon dust from coal fires and alga bore holes in ice to loosen large chunks of ice from glaciers which eventually calve into the ocean. It is predicted that within a generation, nearly two million people will be homeless due to rising tides which will swamp their lands. “Calling eta-earth, calling eta-earth …”

Shapes in the Night Sky
Long before TV and radio, movies and organized theater, there were only the stars
at night and the tales told about them, often around a crackling camp fire, to entertain us.
Shepherds, cattlemen and
hunters would go to sleep out in the open on hot summer nights and
look at the stars in wonder. What were these points of light that
seem to stay in a constant formation and travel across the night sky
together? And what were the other points of light, those that seemed to wander? These wandering stars were called Astra Planeta in the language of the Greeks. We now know these wandering
stars as planets.
The Planets didn't stay in
formation like the other stars but seemingly zigzagged across the heavens, their trails discernible only over
a period of time. The Greeks had no way of knowing that the planets, including our earth, were orbiting the sun and that it only our earthbound perspective made the planets' paths look chaotic.
predictable part of the planets’ course was that they all traveled
in the same narrow path through the sky, even the sun and the moon.
Ancient people looked into the heavens and projected meaning onto the patterns
they perceived. In much the
same way, people of today look up and try and see shapes, including animals, in
This narrow path had star formations that
the ancients became familiar with over time. These constellations of stars were named after famous gods, heroes and mythic beasts. The
narrow path became special, and each of the constellations became closely associated
with the seasons of the year and of our lives. These constellations eventually evolved into our
When are We?
“What day is it? And more importantly when is
Determining the exact time of the year was very important to
the ancients as one had to know when to expect the next change in
seasons. The only problem was that there was no exact way of measuring a
The earliest and most obvious way to measure a year is by the
phases of the moon. Starting with an empty sky the new moon is born
and then gets larger every night until it's a whole round disk and
then shrinks back to nothing. The problem is as we know now a year is
365 and one fourth day long and a cycle of a moon is on average 29.53
days long and 29.53 goes into 365.4 days in a year 12.35 times.
That’s twelve and a third moon cycles in a year. So if you track
time by the moon you will get roughly 12 moons, or months as we call
them, in a year. But then there are some days left over and after a
few years these left over days add up. Soon the spring festival is
happening in the middle of winter, and no one is sure when to plant
crops. So an extra month has to be added so the months match the
correct season. This adding up of extra days into a new month usually
happens in winter.
The Dreaded 13th Month
You're in the 12th
month and everyone is looking forward to Spring. Then the New Year
starts and Winter doesn't go away. It should be the end
of Winter, only it’s not getting any warmer. So a new month is
tacked on to the year. The dreaded thirteenth month. Everyone hates
that thirteenth month. Yet at the end of the thirteenth month
things are finally getting warmer. It's Spring, the crops begin to
grow, and the stricken land begins to heal.
thirteenth month was added in different places to the old calendar. Sometimes it
was added before December and sometime after December. Julius Caesar,
the Roman General and statesman, created the modern calendar
with 365 and ¼ days. Re called this extra month “Undecimber”
as it was the eleventh month and it came after December. (December
means tenth month).
There is even a Zodiac sign for the extra month
which appears between Scorpius (November 23) and Sagittarius
(December 18). This extra Zodiac sign is called “Ophiuchus - the
Serpent Healer” and appears November 30.

We'd spotted an exhibition at the National Maritime Museum we both wanted to see and had been saying for months "oh, we must go to that exhibition soon!"... then all of a sudden the end of the year, and the exhibition, was almost upon us so off we went.
The National Maritime Museum is worth a visit just to see the awesome (and huge!) ship in a bottle on display outside.
We had a cuppa and some yummy cake in the museum's cafe, explored the excellent and fascinating Ships, Clocks and Stars exhibition, bought some postcards then went back to the cafe for lunch. Based on the cake alone I am looking forward to making a return visit sometime to check out the rest of the museum!
Our exhibition tickets included entry to the nearby Royal Observatory, so we headed there next. The Observatory is on a hill in the middle of Greenwich Park, with great views over London...
... if you look closely on the left you can see the Gherkin in the distance.
The Royal Observatory was super interesting in a nerdy "science is awesome!!!" kinda way.
It was especially cool to see the Time Ball...
... and to stand on the famous Meridian line!
Before heading home we popped into the neighbouring Astronomy Centre and oohed over the amazing photos in the Astronomy Photographer of the Year exhibition. I definitely want to come back here sometime to see a show at the Planetarium.
Thanks to the short winter day, it was already getting dark when we headed home so we got treated to a sparkly nighttime view of London...
... and we got to see the awesome Meridian Laser which marks the route of the Greenwich Meridian from the Observatory. So cool.
All in all, an excellent Nice Day Out to finish my year of travels!

Global Game Jam 2018
CosmoSwing is a 2 player experience built for the PC for the Global Game Jam 2018 under the theme “Transmission”. This was built by a 4 person team in a period of 2 days. I did level design and gameplay programming and made a prototypes for the team to iterate upon.
Brainstorming and Ideation
When we received the theme of what we’re going to make, we spent a while brainstorming on ideas that would make sense with “Transmission”. After we bounced around a few ideas, we liked the concept of carrying a message in space. But along with that, we also were looking for a fun game mechanic to go along with it and we discussed several ideas that could blend both with the theme and a good game mechanic. We settled on the player being able to control a rocket in space, jumping across planets.
The idea was that the rocket continuously rotates a planet and to jump correctly, the player should aim the rocket towards the edges of the orbits of the destination planet. If they aim towards the center of the planet, the rocket does not catch the orbit and crashes into the planet. This was kinda based on real rockets using planets’ rotation to gain velocity and achieve efficient landing, like in the movie “The Martian”.
It was a unique mechanic, but we weren’t quite convinced how fun it would be. The only way to find out was by prototyping the simplest planetary jump quickly, and working upwards from there or getting rid of it entirely. We set to work and I used Unity’s in-built functions and a bit of math to get a prototype so that we could start testing as a team.
After adjusting interplanetary distance, rotational speed and translational speed, we found that it was indeed fun and kinda tricky to jump planets. You had to have very sharp timing and notice the angles to pull of the jump. We decided to go ahead with the game, which was the rocket would serially go into a randomly highlighted planet, collect an alphabet from there and go to the next one. At the end, we would have to unscramble the group of letters that we found to find the code,or transmission.
But after we integrated the blasts when the rocket hit the planet, the gameplay became so fun that we decide to pivot the game and just make the gameplay all about the jumping planets, with blasts and all. So we decided to add another rocket, and make the game a two-player race where the winner is the first person who can maneuver past all the planets and reach Earth.
The rest of the game was all about level design and testing it out. It was hard to get the game balance, because if interplanetary distance was too little then it became easy, but we also wanted the player to get across the screen.So after multiple iterations, we decided to have a U-shaped layout, which gives the player the freedom to risk it all by making a big jump directly to Earth, or play it relatively safer but planet hopping. After a long night, we finally got the game balance to just right, after multiple external playtests. Our hard-work was rewarded, as we were chosen as the game with the Best Game Mechanic!

Due to chaotic behaviour of the Solar System, it is not possible to precisely predict the evolution of the Solar System over 5 Gyr and the question of its long-term stability can only be answered in a statistical sense. For example, in
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v459/n7248/full/nature08096.html (Existence of collisional trajectories of Mercury, Mars and Venus with the Earth, by
J. Laskar and M. Gastineau) 2501 orbits with different initial conditions all consistent with our present knowledge of the parameters of the Solar System were
traced out in computer simulations up to 5 Gyr. The main finding of the paper is that one percent of the solutions lead to a large enough increase in Mercury's eccentricity to allow its collisions with Venus or the Sun.
Probably the most surprising result of the paper (see also http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.5996) is that in a pure Newtonian world the probability of collisions within 5 Gyr grows to 60 percent and therefore general relativity is crucial for long-term stability of the inner solar system.
Many questions remain, however, about reliability of the present day consensus that the odds for the catastrophic destabilization of the inner planets are in the order of a few percent. I do not know if the effects of galactic tidal perturbations or possible perturbations from passing stars are taken into account. Also different numerical algorithms lead to statistically different results (see, for example, http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.07602).
Some interesting historical background of solar system stability studies can be found in http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.4930 (Michel Henon and the Stability of the Solar System, by Jacques Laskar).


I almost put the words "If you advocate for people with mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety but don't advocate for schizophrenics fuck off" and then realized how unwise, cruel, and small that was. I like to think I've learned to keep others out of the way of my anger but sometimes I slip up. I guess that just makes me human. However in my opinion humanity does not excuse cruelty, it just provides a general explanation for it.

A historic mission
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has successfully returned to Earth with a sample of asteroid Bennu, a carbon-rich rock that may hold clues to the origin of life and the formation of the solar system. The sample capsule, containing at least 60 grams of dust and pebbles from the asteroid, landed in the Utah desert on Sunday, September 24, 2023, after a seven-year journey that spanned more than 4 billion miles.
The mission, which began in 2016, was the first for NASA to collect and return an asteroid sample, and only the second in history after Japan’s Hayabusa missions. Scientists hope that by analyzing the pristine material from Bennu, they can learn more about the history and evolution of the solar system, as well as the potential for asteroid impacts on Earth.
A daring maneuver
The sample capsule was released by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft four hours before landing, from an altitude of 63,000 miles above Earth. The capsule then plunged through the atmosphere at a speed of more than 27,000 miles per hour, enduring temperatures of up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Two parachutes deployed to slow down the capsule, which landed safely on a remote expanse of military land in Utah.
The recovery team, consisting of NASA and U.S. Air Force personnel, located the capsule using helicopters and radio signals. They then transported it to a temporary clean room, where they opened it and confirmed that the sample was intact. The capsule will be flown to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston on Monday, where it will be stored and analyzed in a new laboratory.
A scientific treasure
The sample from Bennu is expected to be the largest and most diverse ever returned from an asteroid. Bennu is an ancient and primitive asteroid, dating back to the early stages of the solar system, about 4.5 billion years ago. It is rich in carbon, which is a key element for life, and may contain organic molecules, water, and minerals that could shed light on how planets and life emerged.
The sample also represents a valuable resource for planetary defense, as Bennu is one of the most potentially hazardous asteroids known, with a 1 in 2,700 chance of impacting Earth in the late 22nd century. By studying the sample, scientists can better understand the physical and chemical properties of Bennu, as well as its orbit and trajectory, which could help devise strategies to prevent or mitigate a future collision.
A new adventure
While the sample capsule has completed its mission, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is not done yet. It still has enough fuel and resources to continue exploring the solar system, and NASA has already selected a new target for it: a small asteroid named 1999 RQ36, which is similar to Bennu in size and composition. The spacecraft will fly by the asteroid in 2029, and perform a series of scientific observations and measurements.
The OSIRIS-REx mission is part of NASA’s New Frontiers program, which aims to explore the solar system with innovative and cost-effective missions. The program also includes the Juno mission to Jupiter, the New Horizons mission to Pluto and beyond, and the upcoming Dragonfly mission to Saturn’s moon Titan.


Illustration 1: Cosmic dust
The collapse of a cosmic black hole reduced all energy to one invisible dot of singularity. The unfoldment of this compressed energy referred to as the Big Bang created our Universe.
It appears to have been lots of mineral dust particles suspended in Hydrogen gas. As these mineral particles rubbed against each other they created static electricity which aided greatly to the flocculation of minerals into an Earth sized ball. As these floculating minerals passed through a sea of hydrogen, oxygen from the minerals merged with that hydrogen creating blobs of heavily mineralized water.
Illustration 2: The first continent, Pangaea
The metal particles have an electrical attraction to each other and floculate into a Pangaea sized chunk of Earth floating in this world of water.
The Bible explains that at first it was all water.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
As particulates continued floculating within this pool of water the continent Pangaea enlarged until the waters were leveled out into oceans, rivers and streams as the continent appeared.
Other physical objects moved into geometric orbits around the sun our planet was left with two floculated moons, a small inner moon and a larger outer moon. These moons settled into elliptical orbits. The inner moon had an erratic path which brought it very close to the Earth each time it passed. In contemporary YouTube mythology this moon is described as Thea, an intruding planet the size of Mars.
I don’t mean to be contrary but I differ.
Here’s why: Earth has a bulge in Her center created by this object melding into the side of the earth. Contemporary soil samples do not find any traces of anything other than Earth. Astronauts brought Moon samples back and they totally resemble the crust of Earth. The collision seems to have been two floculated balls of Earth flung off into orbit, both with irregular orbits…the smaller one, much closer to Earth, had the most irregular orbit brought which brought it closer to Earth on each pass.
I’m data mining Hebrew biblical mythology here. In Jewish folklore, from the satirical book Alphabet of Ben Sira (ca 700–1000 CE) onward, Lilith appears as Adam’s first wife, who was created at the same time (Rosh Hashanah) and from the same dirt as Adam – compare Genesis 1:27. Remember the second wife Eve came from his rib.
This second wife Lilith and was a real troublemaker… in fact she is the story of the erratic path of Earth’s problematic inner moon. When the inner moon passed it had a huge effect on weather, tides, menstrual cycles… Lilith was bad.
Illustration 3: Lilith morphed into the Sucuba and onto the Halloween witch
Lilith is coupled to water events and was the faceless female of wet-dreams. Lilith is imaged as an ancient woman (Witch) flying across the face of the moon.
Illustration 4: Lilith, the smaller inner moon made from the Earth.
The erratic path of the inner moon eventually collided with Earth. Lilith was an iron core object which merged into Earth creating its bulge. And knocking we Earthlings off axis.
Illustration 5: Eve represents the outer moon and second wife of Adam (Earth).
The outer moon was not only pretty to look at but in charge of regulating life IE: female menstrual cycles, males arousal cycles, tides and time.
Life evolved nicely around Earth’s irregularity for a long time… long enough for humans to evolve from water and inhabit the Earth.
Illustration 6: I love this illustration. It speaks for itself, ok?
1- Earth floculated from the cosmic soup with two clumpy moons.
2- Life evolved from water onto land and thrived for many years.
3- The inner moon’s erratic orbit caused it to bump into Earth and re-merge into earth’s core, creating a slight bulge in the center and knocking Earth off axis. The magnetic pole shifted, Pangea broke into seven pieces and the drift began. Remember at this time Pangea had been evolving for billions of years and was inhabited by people.
4- This collision created: a near extinction event, precession of the equinox, and four seasons.
5- The existing light skinned unsutured sculled Nephelim children of God who had grown very large and intelligent were decimated. Before their demise they had figured out sacred geometry and practiced it in foundations around the globe on the 0 parallel. Angkor Watt etc… These Nephelim were beloved creatures and not the fallen ones.
6- The mean cousin Nephelim had developed collapsible skulls and added melanin to their skin. These attributes gave them a large advantage over their giant light skinned cousins,
7- to help regain balance to the globe, Earth began the great water take-up and deposited this mist as glaciers on the North and South poles. These glaciers were Earth’s response to being knocked off balance.
8- Glaciations occurs regularly now because of precession of the poles.


The secondary field in Astrophysics builds the foundation from which students may consider some of the deepest questions of the physical universe. What was the state and composition of the Universe at the moment of the Big Bang? What is the nature of the force that currently dominates the expansion of the Universe? How do space and time behave in the vicinity of a black hole? How do galaxies form, and how do stars and planets form within those galaxies? Are there habitable worlds other than our own?
The goal of the secondary field in Astrophysics is to provide students with an understanding of the physical universe beyond the Earth that emphasizes the interplay between the remote observation of astrophysical phenomena and the construction and testing of mathematical models to interpret those observations. The heart of the secondary field consists of two courses, Astronomy 16 and 17, that together provide a survey of astrophysics that is firmly rooted in single-variable calculus and freshman mechanics. These courses may be taken in either order, and each course includes the hands-on use of various astronomical observatories located on the Harvard campus.
In order to encourage students to pursue the secondary field while maintaining a rich schedule of other academic interests and extra-curricular activities, the requirements number only 4 courses including the prerequisite physics. The secondary field is intended to serve a broad audience: since there are no requirements other than single-variable calculus, any student can undertake the secondary field in astrophysics, and it will benefit a wide range of careers including science education, public outreach, policy, or journalism. Many of the questions listed in the first paragraph lie at the interface of astronomy with physics, earth and planetary sciences, applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering sciences; and so concentrators in those departments may wish to consider the secondary field in Astrophysics closely. The structure of the requirements below is the same as the foundation for the Astrophysics concentration, so that students who develop a strong interest in the field and wish to concentrate in it may do so easily.
REQUIREMENTS: 4 courses (16 credits)
- Physical Sciences 12a, Physics 15a, or Physics 16, providing an introduction to mechanics. This serves as the co-requisite for Astronomy 16 and Astronomy 17.
- Astronomy 16, providing an introduction to stellar and planetary astronomy.
- Astronomy 17, providing an introduction to galactic and extragalactic astronomy.
- One additional course in Astronomy, either Astronomy 98, or any course in Astronomy at the 100-level.
Together Astronomy 16 and 17 provide a complete introductory survey of astrophysics using single-variable calculus and freshman mechanics. These courses are not sequential and thus may be taken in either order.
Study abroad and summer courses taken at other institutions may be substituted for substantially equivalent Harvard courses with the permission of the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
No course counted for secondary field credit may be taken Pass/Fail.
ADVISING RESOURCES AND EXPECTATIONS
Students pursuing the secondary field in Astrophysics enjoy many of the benefits afforded concentrators in Astrophysics: they choose a faculty adviser, are encouraged to participate in all departmental events and activities, and have access to several on-campus observatories. Students are also encouraged to consider research in astrophysics conducted either during the semester or the summer. The Department of Astronomy (http://www.cfa.harvard.edu) is located within the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA; http://www.cfa.harvard.edu), which is home to over 300 scientists and thus offers significant opportunities for undergraduate research. Astronomers at the CfA make regular use of observatories located across the globe and thus there are numerous opportunities for research-related travel for undergraduates.
Students who are considering the secondary field in Astrophysics are encouraged to contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Professor Karin Öberg, at 617-496-9062 or email@example.com.


We've been having an un-seasonally fine week here in Perth with sunny days and clear skies in the middle of winter so, I thought I'd take advantage of the clear skies and try out some astro-photography.
I hadn't looked at the galaxy in a long time and taking time to sit back and see it, gave me a unique perspective on how lucky we really are.
One thing that is unique about astro-photography is you need to expose your shot for at least 25 seconds and a photo would take a minute to render. This was something that I was unfamiliar with. I was so used to having instant feedback with everything. I hit record on my camera and it would record in real-time, swiping on my phone, scrolling through Facebook and Instagram; it was all instant, but this had a cost. Everything is so fast-passed that often I'd not fully engage in these moments.
Waiting for that 'click' gave me time to sit back and soak it in. It was quiet. The air was still and all I could hear was some distant sirens and the occasional muffled voices from neighbours as they carried across the night sky. I hadn't really looked at the Milkyway in years. I didn't really look up at night like I used to as a kid. Most nights I was snug up in my roofed house and if I did look up, there was too much light coming from the suburbs to really notice the stars. But, here I was waiting for my camera to click, forced to slow down.
My thoughts took me back to those times as a kid and I remember camping with my grandad. My siblings and I all sat around the campfire and my grandad would offer $2 to the first grandchild who spotted a satellite. You could see so many stars back then that the satellites felt sparse, but looking up now, almost every few minutes a satellite zipped by. It made me want to venture out somewhere far from light pollution, but for now I'd try my luck with the backyard.
I looked around for star clusters and realised much of the stars were focussed into just one band across the sky, the Milkyway. I'd seen the Milkyway many times, but never had never really thought much of it, but tonight, a question popped into my head. Why was the Milkway a band of stars across the sky, when we are in it? Why doesn't the cluster of stars surround us?
I remembered seeing a picture of what our galaxy looked like and it dawned on me that the Milkyway was actually a spiral disc and that band of stars in the sky was actually the arms of the spiral. This meant that above and below the Milkway were other parts of the universe, galaxies and suns shining back from beyond our own. But this only lead me to another question, why is it a disc and not a sphere like Earth and the rest of masses in our solar system?
I took my last photo and called it a night as the temperature dropped to 7 degrees Celsius, but I couldn't stop thinking about that question. I knew it involved gravity, but I couldn't workout why space created a 2D shape and other times a 3D shape. As I waited for my photos to copy, I did what any modern day questioning mind would do who wants answers; Googled it. I stumbled upon this video >> See end of post. It is hard to get your head around, but it explains how it works.
How spheres and discs form in the universe
So, basically there are three factors that create these shapes in the universe; the force of gravity, the density of matter and rotational spin.
Gravity shapes, moves and attracts matter. In space it acts like a plughole, pulling matter in and is the force that forms masses.
Matter is the physical stuff that makes up everything; such as gases, atoms and particles.
Masses are a collective of matter.
The density of matter is determined by how much those bits are compacted together. If it's rock for example, it has a high density because all the atoms are jam packed together. If its gas, it has a low density because the particles are further apart.
The other thing is, density of matter effects gravity. This is where things might break your brain, but the denser the matter, the more gravity it has and the more it can withstand the force of gravity. So, a rock for instance has a high density and stronger gravity and can also withstand its own force of gravity, so it won't collapse on itself. While, a cloud of dust and particles has very little density and gravity, so it collapses easily.
So, the denser the matter, the more it pushes back against the force of gravity, the less dense the matter, the less resistance it has to gravity.
CREATING A SPHERE
In the case of creating a sphere, matter has swirled around and formed into a mass that is dense enough to have its own gravity, but also enough density to create pressure that resists gravity. Once it reaches an equilibrium its pressure is what stops it collapsing in on itself and forms a sphere.
As matter is drawn in by gravity, it spins around the centre, colliding with other matter until it reaches an equilibrium; where both forces from matter and gravity reach a point where they cancel each other out.
SPIRALS & DISCS
In the case of spirals and discs, smaller pieces of matter are gravitating towards a giant mass; a nearby a planet, much like Saturn and its rings or a blackhole. The surrounding matter clusters as it orbits, reaching equilibrium and this cluster forms a disc.
In the case of the Milkyway, the gravitational mass is a giant blackhole and the surrounding matter are the suns and solar systems that spiral around its centre. So, this is why our galaxy is a spiral disc and not a sphere.
If you got through all of that and understood it, give yourself a big bloody big pat on the back! Now you know why things form spheres and discs in the universe.
Out of all the solar systems in our galaxy and all the galaxies in the known universe, it just goes to show how crazily-lucky we are to be on this blue planet; just a grain of sand amongst trillions and trillions.

Dark Matter Distribution in the Abell 901/902 Supercluster
Astronomers assembled this photo by combining a visible-light image of the Abell 901/902 supercluster taken with the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope in La Silla, Chile, with a dark matter map derived from observations with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The magenta-tinted clumps represent a map of the dark matter in the cluster. Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that accounts for most of the universe’s mass. The image shows that the supercluster galaxies lie within the clumps of dark matter.
Hubble cannot see the dark matter directly. Astronomers inferred its location by analyzing the effect of so-called weak gravitational lensing, where light from more than 60,000 galaxies behind Abell 901/902 is distorted by intervening matter within the cluster. Researchers used the observed, subtle distortion of the galaxies’ shapes to reconstruct the dark matter distribution in the supercluster.
Solar energy that doesn’t block the view
A team of researchers at Michigan State University has developed a new type of solar concentrator that when placed over a window creates solar energy while allowing people to actually see through the window. It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones and any other device that has a clear surface. And, according to Richard Lunt of MSU’s College of Engineering, the key word is “transparent.”
It wasn’t always easy being my brother.

This summer, there has been a visible Comet zooming through our Solar System. Comet Neowise, which last looped around the sun about 7000 years ago is putting on a great show. Visible to the eye, about an hour after sunset, this Comet is in the North-North-West part of the sky, above the horizon and getting higher in the sky each day.
I’ve been able to view Comet Neowise for a few nights with clear skies and a good sightline. Using my telescope is challenging, as it is not as bright as other planets and a little hard to see and capture. However, using my Android Pixel 3 smartphone, with its special “Astrophotography” mode, I am able to take longer exposure pictures that have turned out well.


Atmospheric radiation (Troll og Zeppelin)
Atmospheric radiation is continuously measured at the Zeppelin Observatory in Ny-Ålesund and at the Troll Research Station in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Both sites have instruments mounted on a platform which moves with the sun, enabling us to measure the light that comes directly from the sun separately from what is dispersed by the atmosphere and originates from the rest of the sky. One instrument measures all incoming sunlight from all directions, while another measures infrared light radiated by the atmosphere. Using these measurements, we are able to monitor an important part of the climate system – the energy that is available to heat the surface of the Earth. We can also better understand the importance of processes in the atmosphere that affect sunlight and the radiation of infrared light (e.g. clouds).


ESA is announcing the cancellation of the rescheduled ESA Summer 2020 (October) event.
We have been monitoring the situation with COVID-19 closely and come to the conclusion that it will not be possible to hold a live event as planned. We will not be replacing the October event with an online event and will take this time to prepare for the next main event in 2021.
We’re saddened about not being able to hold ESA Summer this year, however we are thankful for all of the support we’ve received from our community during ESA Together, ESA Corona Relief and ESA Summer Online!
Looking forward to seeing you all again next year and will keep you updated with dates for the 2021 Winter and Summer events.


Space Ted, Wills, Back from Space Adventure
Our very own Bear, Wills, was launched into space today by a large weather balloon. As the children counted down, the balloon whisked Wills up into the air at a speed of 5 metres per second. As it was a clear sunny day we could see the balloon for a long time before it finally disappeared behind a cloud. The epic journey continued for Wills until he reached the dizzy height of 38.7 kilometres - the 3rd highest altitude achieved by the organisers! Once the balloon reached its optimum height it burst allowing Wills to return to earth, a little quicker than his ascent! He landed safely in a field about 30km away near Worcester. All components came down with him and were safely disposed of. We look forward to Wills returning to school so we can continue our space project, learning about the science and geography behind the launch and writing about Wills's adventure!


Celebrating the Winter Solstice
Winters on Lake Champlain are known for their long hours of darkness. As the sun sets early each evening, and rises late each morning, those who have settled in this valley may feel the days blend together into one long winter’s night. There might even be times when you miss the sun altogether – leaving home before sunrise, coming back after sunset. On those days it can be easy to long for the spring.
But there is also a sense of peace that comes in the winter. Longer nights allow you to turn inward, settle in at home, and sleep longer. There’s a seasonal rhythm on this Earth, just as there’s a rhythm between night and day – there are periods of activity, and times of rest.
The winter solstice is the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year. In the northern hemisphere it occurs in December, while in the southern hemisphere the seasons are flipped and it happens in June. This is due to the Earth’s axis being tilted 23.5° – while one of the hemispheres is tilted toward the sun, experiencing summer, the other is tilted away and goes through the winter.
As you move closer to the north pole the time between sunrise and sunset grows shorter. Across the great north-south length of Lake Champlain there is a full 11 minute difference in the amount of daylight on the winter solstice. On the northern shore, in Venise-En-Quebec, the sun rises at 7:28 AM and sets at 4:13 PM: an 8 hour and 45 minute day. Far to the south, in Whitehall NY, the sun rises at 7:23 AM and sets at 4:20 Pm: an 8 hour and 56 minute day.
While the winter solstice marks the beginning of the astronomical winter (which concerns the Earth’s position relative to the sun), it is closer to mid-winter by meteorological measurements. Meteorology is based on the temperature cycle, and groups seasons into three-month segments – the northern hemisphere’s winter being December, January, and February. So, why is the longest night of the year not the coldest night? It’s due to something called seasonal lag. The Earth’s thermal mass (primarily its oceans) retains the summer heat, and releases it into the atmosphere as it slowly cools to match the air. This process can be seen on a smaller scale in Lake Champlain, which is often shrouded in steam fog as it sheds its heat throughout the autumn and early winter.
Interestingly, until 1912 each successive winter solstice often marked not only the longest night of the year, but also the longest night in Earth’s history. Ever since the Earth developed a moon and liquid oceans it has experienced tidal friction, which slows its rotation by fractions of a second every year. For reference, 4.5 billion years ago each rotation was only 6 hours long, 350 million years ago it took around 23 hours, and today it’s up to 24 hours. With the melting of glacial ice the planet’s rotation has actually sped up slightly, and other factors like earthquakes, ocean currents, and seasonal wind changes can also act on rotational speed. However, tidal friction is eventually predicted to overcome all other influences, and the winter solstice will once again set new records as the longest night.
Many cultures have developed traditions around the winter solstice. For the Abenaki and Iroquois, the aboriginal people of the Champlain watershed, winter is a time of storytelling. Long nights are filled by oral histories and lessons. Some stories can only be told at this time of year, when their subjects are sleeping under the snow.
On the Vermont and Quebec shores of Lake Champlain, the Abenaki traditionally measure time through the lunar cycle. The last new moon before the winter solstice is seen as the ending of the old year, and this lunar cycle is called “Pebonkas” or “Winter Maker”. The following moon signals a time of renewal, and is called “Alamikos” or “Anhaldamawikizos” – “Greetings Maker” or “Forgiveness Moon”. During this time there is a custom of going to the doors of people you are in conflict with, and saying “Anhaldamawi kassi plilawawlan”, or "Forgive me for any wrong I may have done you in the past year." By asking for (and giving) forgiveness the year begins with restored friendship and respect.
The Iroquois people, on the New York shore of Lake Champlain, have a similar winter celebration of the new year timed around the phases of the moon. This mid-winter celebration, called “Haudeshaune”, typically takes place in January or February and lasts for nine days. There are traditional ceremonies and events, usually beginning with the Stirring of the Ashes, and ending with a closing ceremony. During this time new council members are introduced, babies born in the past year are given their names, and there are dances for healing and welcoming the new year.
Ancient cultures across the world have also marked the solstice as a time of celebration, and their traditions are still reflected today. In northern Europe stone monuments were built to mark the seasons; Stonehenge, in England, aligns to frame the winter solstice sunset, while Newgrange in Ireland frames its sunrise. The Saxons and Celts who lived in this area lit bonfires on the night of the solstice to call back the sun. A large oak log (the “yule log”) was traditionally burned, and if it stayed alight for 12 hours (or 12 days, in other legends) the household would experience good fortune in the coming year. In Wales this holiday was called “Alban Arthan”, or “The Light of Winter”. Many traditions that are today associated with Christmas – hanging small gifts from evergreen trees, bringing holly and ivy into the house, and placing mistletoe in doorways – had their origin in the Northern European solstice.
In Iran the winter solstice is called “Yalda Night”, and is a time when families gather to eat, drink, and read poetry. It’s one of the most ancient holidays in Central Asia, and celebrates the triumph of light over darkness. Watermelon, a summer fruit, and pomegranate, symbolizing rebirth, are always eaten.
In China the winter solstice is called Dongzhi, and is a family-centric holiday. Traditionally the family comes together to eat Tangyuan (balls of glutinous rice) that symbolize reunion or unity, and are often brightly colored. The day is seen as a turning point in the balance of energy, when the yang of light will begin to overtake the yin of darkness.
In the Champlain Valley today many of us light candles, gather around glowing wood fires, and string colored lights indoors and out to brighten our nights at this time of year. Everyone pushes back against the long nights in their own way; some hustle from store to store, others curl up under the warmth of a thick blanket. There are even those who embrace the night, who take long walks in the quiet woods, under the bright starlight. In the words of the Poet Wendell Berry, “To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings.”


We all make mistakes. Even the rocket scientists at NASA.
Granted, the tweets posted by NASA are probably not penned by rocket scientists, but they should probably be proofread by them.
Yesterday, NASA posted this tweet, which included an image of the view from the Space Station. It read: “What’s our new cover pic? The sun & Earth, as seen by @StationCDRKelly from the @Space_Station. Enjoy! #YearInSpace”
The problem? It wasn’t the sun shown in the photo. It was the moon.
NASA deleted the original tweet and issued a correction. But there are two little words that prevent delete/retweet as a viable solution. “Screen shot.”
We all make mistakes, and a lot can go wrong in 140 characters. But if you want to save yourself a little embarrassment, take 300 Seconds and have a colleague look over your shoulder before you press the “tweet” button. And if there’s no colleague around, remember, there’s always Victoria.

Lyrid meteor shower: The best times to look up and see shooting stars
CINCINNATI (WJLA/WKRC) -Calling all stargazers! It’s the first major meteor shower of the year. The annual Lyrid meteor shower occurs in mid-April and, this year is visible from April 16 to April 25 with peak viewing between midnight April 21 and dawn on April 22. The meteors appear to originate near the star Vega in the northeast sky. You don’t have to look to the northeast to catch the meteors. The shooting stars will be seen anywhere in the sky.

X said:Also, Merkuri, I like your concept with the system of planets that have varying technological levels (I think its' pretty damn cool to be honest), but I have one question: What's to keep the more advanced culture from landing and conquering the planet with a lower tech level, and or corrupting it's social and technological advancement?
In my original concept of Godlings, the universe was post-apocalyptical. Everything had been broken and changed. The main reason why the high-tech planets didn't land on the low-tech planets was that they couldn't find them. They had lost the technology for long-distance flight travel without the aid of what I called "starways" (wormholes, tunnels through space, whatever you want to call them). So you couldn't get to a planet unless it had a starway nearby. And, of course, none of the low-tech planets had starways because then they would have become high-tech planets again. It was possible to get to them, but without the right technology or knowing exactly where the planet was that you were heading for, you were pretty much taking shots in the dark. Now, the drawback to this is that there's an upper limit on the tech level, but there's always the possibility that tech from before the apocalypse could be rediscovered, for those games where the players and/or GM want a very very high tech world. Of course, then for that GM's incarnation of our universe the low-tech worlds would probably go bye-bye (unless somebody came up with a "prime directive" of sorts, but I doubt it).
And I think X has a point that we should put off on the system discussion until later. Either that or we could start up another thread about system and we could just discuss setting/theme here.

Chitnis first the place is selected as Thumba as it was very close to the magnetic equator of the earth, making it an ideal location for scientists because of to conduct upper atmosphere, low-altitude, and ionosphere studies of the earth. Also, the major condition is to see the rocket launching very close to the center that takes off satellites. The Indian soil that has a dream of launching satellites from its own space. Therefore, after a long time it came true. At Kerala space centre scientists see the launches by standing on the beach.
Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre History
In the year 1972, Government of India established the Space Commission and created a new Department called the Department of Space (DOS). ISRO now came under the DOS as its research and developmental center. The Space Commission lays down the policy, the space center actually executes has the policies through ISRO. The Secretary of DOS is also the Chairman of both the Space Commission and the ISRO centre. It is still there only.

Manpower in Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC)
The VSSC has grown into a giant complex to become the major Technological base of the ISRO. The manpower in VSSC was less than dozen in the beginning has grown over the years, to the present strength of over 5000 engineers, scientists and other supporting staff.
R & D in Vikram Sarabhai Space Research Centre
Today VSSC stands as the largest centre of all ISRO units and is charged with the responsibility of developing sounding rockets, launch vehicles and certain technologies associated with spacecraft. The centre discharges this responsibility by a two prolonged approach:
- By supporting in-house, R&D programs in all major fields of relevance to space technology &
- By maximizing the utilization of..
(a) available industrial infrastructure in the country and
(b) expertise available with the academic and research institutions.
Organisation of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre
To carry out R&D in rocketry, the centre is divided into many entities, groups and divisions dealing with Aerospace dynamics, Avionics, Propellants & Chemicals, Propulsion, System reliability, Computer and Information, Mechanical Engineering, Composites, Materials, Programme Planning and Evaluation and Administration.
The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre Library
Library is an important part of the information system in any R&D organization. So, it may be more appropriate, at this stage, to explain the background and status of the VSSC library used by the Space Technologists. The VSSC library had a very modest beginning in 1964 when it started at the Bishop’s house in Thumba. There were only about 1000 documents and a tiny reading room.
Later in 1969, it was shifted to its present location on the Veli hills, where it saw fast growth in size (now spread over 4250 square meters), staff-strength and readership, keeping pace with the other technological advancements in the centre and now become a major technical library in India with unique resources in the multidisciplinary areas of space science and technology.
It caters to the information needs of scientific and technical personnel of VSSC, LPSC and IISU for their R&D activities, Projects, and Facilities. This Library has been attracting academic community from Thiruvananthapuram and adjacent towns. All the Library services are extended through the Branch Library located at IISU Complex (Vattiyoorkavu) and Documentation Cells, PSLV/ MVIT (Valiamala Complex).

This morning, the moon once again sneaked between the Sun and the Earth. However, the event was only partially visible in Germany. For all that, there was no stopping our team from witnessing the spectacle. At our Leipzig location, the highpoint was attained as 10:44 am. Naturally, all safety precautions were adhered to: no unprotected gazing at the Sun! We could observe the natural phenomenon very well with the aid of protective glasses or home-made peephole cameras.
We won’t get to see the next total eclipse in Germany until 3 September 2081, but on 12 August 2026, the sun will become as dark as it was today throughout Europe.


Correct for Dynamic Dark
The pixels of the CCD detector are thermally sensitive, which causes a small
dark current, even without light exposure. To get an approximation of this
dark current, the signal of the first 14 optical black pixels of the CCD-detector
can be taken and subtracted from the raw scope data. This will happen if the
correct for dynamic dark option is enabled. As these 14 pixels have the same
thermal behavior as the active pixels, the correction is dynamic.
Percentage of the new dark value pixels that has to be used. E.G., a percentage
of 100 means only new dark values are used. A percentage of 10 means that 10
percent of the new dark values is used and 90 percent of the old values is used
for drift correction.


|Yale professor Meg Urry explained black holes to her audience in Scarsdale. YWAA treasurer Rich Fabbro '76 (top, L) introduced her before the presentation, Dec. 9 (YWAA photos)|
Urry, a professor of astronomy and physics, is Chair of Yale's physics department, head of the American Astronomical Society, and a leading researcher in black holes. At the Scarsdale Library in front of an audience of about 90, she was afforded a chance to expound passionately on something she knows and cares about in a way that allowed her listeners to follow her step by step, equation by equation with dark, colorful images on a lit screen behind her.
First, let's define black holes in the way NASA describes them: "A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying."
|After her presentation, Urry speaks to audience members about the mass of supermassive black holes. (YWAA photos)|
No one present doubted her passion. Most wondered how she would explain the phenomena of black holes, concepts of "space-time," and theories of special and general relativity to a group with a familiarity of calculus from nothing to basic to advanced.
Somehow she succeeded with a display of cartoons, drawings, and even movie excerpts from "The Wizard of Oz." She used the piano on stage to explain how galaxies expand. (And she amused all by pointing out an egregious math error in the "Oz" movie when the scarecrow receives his brain and rambles on about isosceles triangles.)
She exploited numbers, statistics, and familiar expressions. She explained, "The Milky Way is the galaxy that is our hometown." From end to end, it's about 100,000 light-years across. "It would be hard to have a conversation with our neighbors on the other end," she said.
Urry kept it simple and logical. She started with basic principles of Issac Newton and gravity and explained with hand-and-fist gestures the difficulties Albert Einstein had with Newton's notions of gravity. Describing gravity and the concept of escape velocity helped her explain black holes and the challenges scientists have in calculating the mass of black holes.
"All galaxies have a supermassive black hole in their center," she said and showed with graphics. "Galaxies send matter into black holes," she added, "while black holes send out energy." Someone asked: What happens if black holes suck in all matter within a galaxy? She paused, envisioned and described such a scenario without resorting to equations and arcane jargon.
She reminded her audience a few times that the galaxy is 13 billion years old. One member of the audience asked her what should we expect in the next 13 billion years. Glad to address that question, Urry relished having to contemplate a universe 13-billion years hence.
A sudden wrinkle has interrupted our understanding and study of the universe, she said. The discovery and importance of dark energy (and dark matter, too) over the past 15 years mean scientists now have to incorporate something that has proven to be too prevalent to ignore in the universe. "Another topic for another time," she said as time wound down.
During a question-and-answer period, responding to a query about why there might be inadequate numbers of physicists and astronomers, Urry said, "Physics isn't always taught right. Scientists use too much jargon." Moments later, she added, "It's really simple stuff. (Physics) can explain everything."
After an hour or so of explaining gravity, black holes, and galaxies in dramatic, lively and vivid ways, she summarized her enthusiasm. "No person on earth can't learn physics, if I'm given enough time," she wrapped up in a light-hearted way. Her audience applauded, chuckled, and generally agreed with her.

Laura is a student in Astronomy at the University of Cambridge. Her work on exoplanets – planets orbiting other stars – is largely unnoticed by the scientific community. However, it attracts the interest of a secluded elderly Russian astronomer, Professor Kasparov, on the basis of his own research thirty years ago. He tries to contact Laura and her supervisor, Julia, but dies in mysterious circumstances.
In the attempt to find out more about Kasparov’s old data, Laura and Julia travel across the globe. During their journey, science becomes entangled with poetry, while astronomy gets embroiled with mystery. They face a dark pattern of strange accidents and deaths. Their quest for clues gradually becomes a frantic pursuit through some of the most fascinating and deadly environments.
Will Laura and Julia uncover the truth? The whole truth? And… will they survive to tell the world?
Just from the synopsis I was immediately drawn into this book. I don’t know much about astronomy so eventhough this is a fiction book I have learnt a lot and want to learn a lot more. If you want a book that grips you then this one is for you.
Thank you so much kaleidoscope tours for letting me take part in the blog tour for this book.


After extending the record for the longest single space mission in history by an American to 355 days, NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei returned to Earth on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, with two Russian cosmonauts.
Vande Hei departed from the International Space Station (ISS) with Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov at 03.21 EDT (14.21 WIB) and managed to land safely on Earth using a parachute at 07.28 EDT (18.28 WIB) southeast of the city. remote Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan, explains NASA.
“Mark’s mission not only broke records, but it also paved the way for future human exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
The extended Vande Hei mission will provide researchers with an opportunity to observe the effects of long-duration space missions on humans as NASA plans to return to the Moon in the Artemis program and prepare for Mars exploration, NASA said.
Vande Hei and the two Russian cosmonauts were launched on a Soyuz MS-18 rocket on April 9, 2021. Vande Hei’s second trip into space of 355 days was the longest single space mission by a United States astronaut, with the previous record being 340 days, NASA says.
Vande Hei shared his excitement just before leaving the ISS. “I’m excited for the opportunity to return to Earth to see my family physically present with my wife, where… I haven’t been around here since January last year. So that would be awesome,” he said in a video broadcast from the ISS, Tuesday.
But the space explorer also acknowledged that his return to Earth was bittersweet as it marked the end of his active astronaut career. “I’m sure I’ll have a lot of conflicting emotions,” he said before the flight to Earth.
“I promised my wife I’m not going to fly into space again, so it’s going to be bittersweet,” he said, adding that “I’m so, so grateful to have this amazing opportunity to come to the space station here with these people. a wonderful person whom I consider a friend for the rest of my life; to serve my country and all of humanity.”
Before Vande Hei’s return to Earth, there was speculation that given the US had condemned Russia’s actions to invade Ukraine and spark a war, Vande Hei might not be flying home in the Soyuz capsule with the cosmonauts. However, it appears that Vande Hei’s planned return, remaining unchanged, has proceeded safely and successfully.
