Low in the west at sunset all week, Jupiter and Venus heading for each other. Closest on 30th, when they will appear to be almost touching. That should create a busy night on the 999 switchboards

New Horizons will fly by Pluto around 1pm Tuesday 14 July - although probably the images won't be beamed back until 15th.

Here's the view from 3.7 million miles (July 8th)

What does the surface of a comet look like from a height of 9 metres?

Image

Astonishing images from the Philae lander riding along on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko as it closes in on the Sun.

And here is an animation of the Philae lander's view as it closed in to land on the comet:

OK i get that the world has become massively dumbed down, and I get that social media has instantly provided a voice for nutters, befuddled and fanatics, but what i don't get is how easily even dumbed down folk swallow the bullshit. On 28 September a total eclipse of the moon will occur, not a rare evnt, but lovely and interesting to watch. Er, that's it. Except on FB, Twitter, YT etc there is a tide of morons posting apocalyptic shoite about Armageddon, raptures, end times, and most idiotic of all a huge asteroid. Apart from the religious nutjobs, I assume that everyone else starts these things as a wind-up. But it has even reached the stage where sober organisations such as NASA are asked to respond with debunks of this arrant nonsense. (To which the standard response is "well they would say that")

I mean, how many times in recent years have the nutters and shysters predicted apocalypses and similar. Doesn't this make the penny drop even through the thickest, densest skull? FFS.

What on earth is the matter with people? :evil: :SHOOT:

Life on Mars?

"NASA will detail a major science finding from the agency's ongoing exploration of Mars during a news briefing at 11:30 a.m. EDT on Monday, Sept. 28 at the James Webb Auditorium at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

"The event will be broadcast live on NASA Television and the agency's website."

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas
