This is crazy! With advances in planetary science, two researchers are now saying there is a chance there are two more planets out there beyond the dwarf planet Pluto! Being a Doctor Who fan, I of course would love for one of them to be named Mondas after the Cyberman home world (first mentioned in the First Doctor Adventure, The Tenth Planet. Nancy Atkinson has…
January 16, 2015I’m still working on processing a massive Gorn Photo update from my recent trips. Until I get the over 100 photos from the last 5 trips, please enjoy the photo above from Madeira, Portugal. This was New Year’s Day, and one of my absolutely favorite days from the trip. Hopefully, I will have time to edit and post these photos, as well as finish the…
January 14, 2015Barely visible here in Southern California with all of the lights, Daniel and I drove up into the foothills with my low power binoculars and were able to see the fuzzy nucleus in the constellation Taurus. It was a little hard to spot at first, and it makes me want a nice telescope more and more. I wish I saw the comet as the photo…
January 13, 2015I was home sick today and one of the things I like to do is to watch The Price is Right. I tuned into today’s episode and as much as I love Drew Carey and the show, it always feels a bit off. Maybe its the HDTV, maybe its the faster pace of the show (its almost 3 minutes shorter than a classic show) or…
January 12, 2015Sploid has perfect timing with this gallery of rocket launches! I. Am. So. Ready. I doubt my photos will be as good, hopefully the NASA stock photos will be great.
January 10, 2015A couple weeks ago, I saw a tweet from NASA asking for people to volunteer for a NASA social event covering the launch of the SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) Satellite at Vandenberg AFB on the central coast of California. Me loving all things NASA, I went ahead and applied for the chance. At first, I was put on the waiting list with a promise…

January 8, 2015It’s great to be back home after 10 days overseas. I am amazed that I was able to at least post a photo a day from the trip and managed to keep diary notes for each day. I still have to write up my Barcelona days to complete the full diary which I will post both here and on the Trip Diaries site. Along with…
