The Celestial Chronicle: September 2010
http://thecelestialchronicle.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
An Amateur Observational Astronomy Journal. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. Double Stars do not suck! Partly Cloudy - Calm. I also struck luck and caught the International Space Station zooming west to east as the sun just set. It was difficult, but I was able to track it with my 25mm lense panning the telescope as it raced across the sky. I could easily make out a rectangle shape which was clearly the solar panels. A glass of red wine, the space station and a double star. I guess life could be worse.

The Celestial Chronicle: March 2012
http://thecelestialchronicle.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
An Amateur Observational Astronomy Journal. Tuesday, March 27, 2012. 8216;We Don’t Know What’s Driving 96% Of The Universe’. I just watched an online video featuring astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I kind of equate Neil as sort of the “Carl Sagan” in this new era of future generations. He is incredibly intelligent and also has the ability to show and explain the intricacies of the Universe in ways that are palatable to the average person – like me…. In this recent online video. 4% of the Universe?

The Celestial Chronicle: Edge of the Universe?
http://thecelestialchronicle.blogspot.com/2010/10/edge-of-universe.html
An Amateur Observational Astronomy Journal. Monday, October 25, 2010. Edge of the Universe? This means we could be close to taking our first glimpse of the edge of the universe. What then? What exists beyond the edge? Is there an edge? It certainly could explain an edge. Are we living in the confines of a black hole? A Universe within a Universe? Is the center of the Big Bang a point in space or a point in time? Therefore in theory, there would be no edge? Is that space before what would constitute an ed...
