Whassup in the Milky Way?: December 2010
http://whassupinthemilkyway.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Whassup in the Milky Way? Living out loud in the orion spur. Thursday, December 9, 2010. In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, December 14, the Geminid meteor shower will peak. This is a great opportunity to view one of the more reliable meteor showers of the year, if you're an early riser or if you don't have to work on Tuesday. I fall into the latter category, which is a good thing, since I'm far more adept at. Up I plan to begin viewing after midnight, since a big old waxing. The best viewing position ...

Whassup in the Milky Way? Living out loud in the orion spur. Thursday, April 29, 2010. The universe waits for no one. Celestial events and phenomena are occurring all the time, some with more frequency than others. Astronomical objects are coming in and out of view— monthly, seasonally, cyclically. 1) Total Lunar Eclipses. It’s a phenomenon that’s even visible in the city, and you won’t soon forget the eerie sight. You won’t see many “shooting stars” in the city, so find yourself a dark...Because the pla...

Whassup in the Milky Way? Living out loud in the orion spur. Thursday, November 25, 2010. Honk If You Love the Heliosphere. I’ve heard that there’s a point, marked by turbulence, that marks the edge of the solar system as a satellite passes out of it. What causes the turbulence? What is out there to be turbulent? Racing from the Sun in all directions at about a million miles per hour, the solar wind. High-energy particles traveling through space. We heart the heliosphere! NASA’s Voyager 2. Had crossed it...

To do so is to begin to have some understanding of our place in the universe. Ryan from Albuquerque, age 9. 8220;I was wondering how thick the atmosphere is on Earth.”. Or revolves) ...
