The camera is a total sham when it comes to photographing stars and planets.
Wherever you are tonight, look at the full moon, and have a look for Jupiter too. It is beautiful. I wish i had some good equipment for viewing and photographing such spectacular celestial sights. This is about the best i could do.
Tomorrow [...]

Komika bildo ke mi ĵus trovis ĉe xkcd:
Mi konfesas, mi ofte scivolas kio estas la efektiva kialo de kordoteorio …
(Sorry i’ve been in a major Esperanto mood for the last few weeks since i discovered the Esperantists in Second Life! I promised my blog won’t go entirely Esperanto!)

There are estimated to be 1022 stars in the entire universe. That’s ten thousand billion billion. That number of grains of sand would cover the entire United Kingdom to a depth of several centimetres. Yet a single cube of sugar contains more atoms than stars in the universe!
Science is fascinating! :)
I read it this morning [...]

Such a cute Sinfest strip today:
Let’s blow ourselves up for an alien to marvel at!
Today i am mostly doing chores, getting ready for a day off tomorrow. We’ll be going to London for lunch with a friend, and then to a workshop about Jewish people and their non-Jewish partners.
Last night i was investigating the Universal [...]

Here is an email i just sent to my mum. I have just caught a glimpse of something so exciting! It’s wacky and crazy, about parallel universes and how we move through them, but i think it actually makes sense! Unless it doesn’t. Which entirely depends on which universe you are about to experience yourself [...]

Heheh, it felt like Christmas Eve at work today. Most of us are away next week, so it was a very laid back atmosphere. We were meant to be hammering a test system and i kept logging quotes from Scroobius Pip, such as “Thou shalt not make some noise for Detroit” - “Thou shalt not [...]

I saw a shooting star! :D
I persuaded my partner to come out with me; we went to a field nearby where it was much darker and we could see the Milky Way! I pointed out Mars, Orion, Pegasus, Triangulum, Andromeda, the Plough and the North Star. That’s about as much as i know at the [...]

Astronomy is suddenly cool, it seems! This morning one colleague came in and said, “I saw Mars last night!” Another said, “I saw Mars this morning, and possibly Venus too!” I said, “I think i might have seen Mercury this morning!” and another colleague sent us all an email alerting us to the Geminids meteor [...]

This is a LONG post about life, death, afterlife, religion, cosmology, extra-terrestrial intelligence … and probably more! Did i mention it’s LONG?!?!?!! You have been warned! ;)

We have our good friend Nat with us for the weekend, and are having a lovely time together.
I got up early yesterday and went for my run. I saw both Venus and Mars, with a nice half-moon between the two, plus a whole lot of stars. It was beautiful. My run was a bit harder [...]
