So back in July, I had a couple of days off, and that kid and I were trying to think up something to do. We talked about going for a bike ride and the idea of doing the Planet Trek came up. It's a pretty cool thing—a scale model of the solar system spread out over 23 miles of bike path. Every object has its own placard describing its stats and relative size. The sun is represented by a 24-foot...

" Desmoulins graph : green peaks = JEV most aligned days. The Sunspot cycle which averages 11 years is still a mystery, with no real conclusive science that has been put forward with any certainty on what controls the varying length of the Sunspot cycle.

Saturn is close to the dawn horizon and is close to the crescent Moon on the 13th. The variable star Mira is still bright. The Leonid meteor shower is worth watching on the morning of the 18th. Morning sky looking north-east showing...

Talk about a packed weekend! Friday was a Girl Scout sleepover at the Girl Scout house in town, and I was recruited to give an astronomy presentation. I took the moon and Venus globes along, but more importantly, the Maroon Barsoom telescope. On the downside, seeing conditions were horrible, as there is an unbelievable amount of light pollution in that area. Also, there was little to see in the sky...

My eye on the sky The Moon moves through Leo emboldened by Mars in the sign, ready to take all comers. Comers include Scorpios and Aquarians. I would not to be quick to bet against Leo seeing as they’ve got the knife. Saturn and Pluto are very tightly square now and the Jupiter conjunct Neptune, widespread confusion be damned.

Once more, I have discovered that I haven’t blogged for a while. This is partly due to the fact that I’ve moved to university, and, given the rather large work load, I simply haven’t had the time. When I have had the time, and not been in lectures or working on lab reports or being sociable with flatmates, I have had no idea what to blog about. It’s all very well just randomly...

Clearly, Jupiters are a garden-variety planet across the entire universe.

The Centre of the Universe After lunch Miss Gale told us to push our desks to the edge of the classroom. We are going to learn about the universe she said. We are going to learn about the solar system. Miss Gale then asked who wanted to be a planet. Who wants to be Saturn, she said. Who wants to be Jupiter?
