Here is a recent painting I did… Mario pixel painting:

It is the day of celebration for the birth of the mom of mob.

Long, but interesting report by Robert Fisk.

“With chaos stretching from Afghanistan to the Mediterranean, we have never lived in a more dangerous time. Over the next 7,000 words, our man in the Middle East looks back over a lifetime of covering war and death, and lays out a bleak future for all of us - one that even those living in the comfort of the Home Counties cannot escape”

The Age of Terror - a landmark report

Living in the country I get the opportunity to drag my telescope out and stand in the chilly night air looking at the moon and so forth, but I needed something to help me locate and pinpoint the positions of the planets and follow their ever changing progress. So..I found Stellarium which is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.

You dont need to be a crappy astronomer like me to enjoy it, and it can be configured to your current location.

 

What is this???
