A Blog that brings all stuff astronomy to the masses hopefully in a clear and concise way
Recent PostsFirst of all I like to wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best in 2009.Just as I was going to call it an early night and head off to bed I got a call from Dr. Tony Phillips at Spaceweather Phone telling me that a Solar wind was due to hit Eart...
I've heard of them, read about them but up and until now I've never seen one let alone imaged one. No I'm not talking about UFOs, I'm talking about colorful horizon hugging meteors, image above. I was trying to image an Ursid meteor when I saw a gr...
Being the winter Solstice and all yesterday I thought I would take some pics of the winter solstice Sunrise, plus the fact that it was -39c and woo hoo no wind, I thought to myself maybe I could capture some crazy shaped refracted Sun shots. The Sun...
The right place at the right time with the right equipment is the only reason I was lucky enough to capture the image above. I was in my car yesterday with my trusty camera by my side when I noticed a Solar halo forming, pulled over to the side of th...
'Tis the season, season for Solar/Lunar Halos, Sundogs and Solar Pillars. I took the above image from my front yard. Halos are caused by the Moonlight/Sunlight being refracted off the hexagonal ice crystals in the high wispy cirrus clouds which ref...

World Aids Day, December 1
Today in your spare time, remember all of those lives lost to HIV and AIDS. You can make a difference in the global fight against HIV and AIDS. World AIDS Day isn't just about one day. With infection rates continuing to rise globally there is a great deal still to do, so get involved.
HIV is one of the biggest social, economic and health challenges in the world. It is a global emergency claiming over 8,000 lives every day. In fact 5 people die of AIDS every minute.
Young people (under 25 years old) account for half of all new HIV infections worldwide - around 6,000 become infected with HIV every day.
During 2007 more than two and a half million adults and children became infected with HIV. By the end of the year, an estimated 33 million people worldwide were living with HIV/AIDS. The year also saw two million deaths from AIDS, despite recent improvements in access to antiretroviral treatment.
Despite best efforts from governments, non-profit organizations and healthcare practitioners around the world, HIV and AIDS is still having huge global impact.
More than 25 million people have died of AIDS since 1981.

zawadiWow I'm just coming back to blogging again and I checked out your blog. The blog looks like a million bucks. Meaning I love it lol. nice work with the gif images also. Will have to stop by your blog more often.
Heidi CudnikThank you for making a blog about astronomy that I can understand. Enjoyed!
ChewMouseClear, easy to follow, exciting...a valuable teaching tool and fun just to browse by one's own self. I am really impressed with this and would like to blog on it myself.
(I don't blogroll. If I love a site, I write an entry on it with links and my reasoning. Perhaps I should rethink that, but I feel that a blog that has been so carefully created deserves a full review.)
Charles SappThis is right up my alley, as I have a background with astronomy and physics. Great stuff!
Ever read Black Holes and Time Warps by Kip S. Thorne?
I would love to add you as a link. If you don't mind?

Franx Budinice site..I like it
paulaI've just read most of your blog and I have to say...aside from what I find to be wonderful humor, I have forgotten to say on my blog comments that I really like your blog just for all the cool info. you have. Its fantastic that someone such as yourself has this much passion for something and are able to articulate it to others who are perhaps less learned and make it interesting. good job!
BorisVery nice and interesting blog 10
