Hey, I don't know what time it is or what your sky conditions are right now but Mars looks awesome right now. It's (the angle will change as the night progresses) right now about three fists length down and left from the Moon. You can't fucking miss it.

Wish I had a telescope. The past couple of days have been pretty good for viewing Mars, even in city conditions. Also, Venus and Jupiter are pretty prominent. They'll be in the western sky right about now. They're the two really bright things that don't twinkle.

I just thought it was pretty amusing that it happened to be the only thing visible out the window when I turned my head.

Also, current angle is for Boston time. You'll see the same angle at about 6:30 pm local time.

Ah, so that WAS Mars in the Eastern sky about a week ago! I thought it might be Arcturus or some other red star (been a while since I've practiced constellations). Quite a few planets visible right now.

It's been pretty good lately. They've been showing up pretty bright and clear. It's kinda tricky for me sometimes. Here in Boston you can't really discern too many constellations other than Orion and the dippers. Too much light pollution.

Hey, if you can get the little dipper, you're doing pretty good. That constellation is far dimmer than most people think, and Polaris just as much.

It is, but it's an immediately recognizable pattern. When you only see the most obvious stars it's tricky.

Though admittedly, Boston isn't the largest US city. I can only imagine how shitty the view might be in Los Angeles, for example.

Jeez, I know. I just went back outside for a minute, and I could spot maybe 3 individual stars on the ecliptic, and a few ransom ones here and there. No discernible patterns. Damned if I know which stars they were.

Also, that man is the shit, I watched a Nova thing with him on it earlier today.

Nonsense.  NDT simply willed the stars into appearing, merely by using his already-budding powers of Awesome™.

I should mention that the planets will look damn good tonight. Venus and Jupiter bright in the West after sunset, Mars large and midway up the eastern sky, and Saturn on the Eastern Horizon, coming up with the Moon and Spica as the night goes on.

Is still the full moon tonight as well, I think.

are Astrologic/Astronomic events Written about

the ROCK RECORD? as depositional features/FACTS

My opinion is those 2 do not agree about What
took place, at the time, NOR even agree as to
exacly when WHAT occured. Only that something
happened, Like landers on the Moon for example
in the 1900's {20 Cent) Gal_year ? 18 or 10-20

it may be wise to consult a third medium IcE
Well i mean Water, that sometimes is ICE &
their4 acts like ROCK in its recording of events
So suppose i took a M^2 ice core of .5Myr &
then melted/evaporated the H2O ? how much Rock
would REMain. Now i ask Science that. How Much
: :
in othere words what is the average deposition
rate (as recorded by ICE} in the time frame
recorded? does it make sence. OR is it best

``OK SF {Solar Flux) for Sunday | recently there were murmerings about

hemisphere, & my conclusion WAS in order to hit Earth it mus be in
the South, On the Approaching Limb. WELL POSITIONED. So yeah: No
March 2012 placement match. Exactly why South & not North or equatorial
i donno? there must be some kind of curvature out there of some sort

I always figured that the inner solar system ended at the asteroid belt- whats the rationale for having it as part of ganymedes orbit? Also it will be interesting to see if in the future when we have a better idea of where the solar system ends if we start referring to the region between the asteroid belt and the kuiper belt as the mid-solar system.

BIG REMINDER that the transit of venus starts in a couple hours. Should be crossing the boundary of the corona at 1704 EDT in North America, with the first section of the transit visible from east to west coast until sunset. The entire transit is viewable from Hawai'i, Eastern Australia and East Asia. Those of you in Europe can see the last section of the Eclipse after sunrise, whatever that is in your time.

If it's too cloudy to see it in person, or if you don't have appropriate eyewear, you can catch it on camera here: http://events.slooh.com/

i just wanted to draw a line far enough out to include
ganameed sometimes. { never mind
i see today DE did drop about 3
the us stuff makes no sense to me something should be happening

i did take my new {?) sony out to try to catch v crossing S . the Sun came
out fom behind the cloud : but the camera just could not handle the bright-
NEss. Boo Whoo . the other camera caught the critter but i was outside
with SoNY & so with no auto tracking feature My efforts were pretty much
FEWtile. i did get some footage | nothing from a black spot that i found YET

The Brain May Disassemble Itself in Sleep (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=sleeps-secret-repairs)

It's bumming me out that I can't get that first link to load...maybe later today.

The second one is fascinating, and I also wonder if there's any connection with the fact that I often wake up understanding math problems that I was struggling with when I went to bed.

could smell it : i do not remember for | i mean remember how long it took to
rewire my senses so i no longer smell the "ELECTRON" maybe just weeks?

My guess is he was in his liquide form {shape shifted) when that took place
as far as ICE i donno. i poise on a capacitors plate? the again i donno. She
