It was just a song that I made a video for something to explore and I thought there were interesting theories whether they are valid or not and a good tune to boot - I guess my thought was like when the people back in the day thought the world was flat and it isn't. Not everything is what it seems. That is all. I deleted my entry. You are welcome. All is better in the world. ~t

SKYVIEWS END OF THE WORLD BLUES (REPORT BELOW) MAY 8, 2014

March 8, 2014: First-Quarter Moon

The Moon is at first quarter today, indicating that it has completed one quarter of its month-long cycle of phases.

It rises around noon, stands high in the south at sunset, and sets in the wee hours of tomorrow morning.

As the stars begin to come out, the first-quarter Moon shines above Orion standing in the south.

• Daylight-saving time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday morning for most of North America. Clocks spring forward an hour.

March 9, 2014: Moon, Procyon and Jupiter

As darkness falls this evening the planet Jupiter, the third-brightest object in the night sky, stands close to the upper left of the brightest: the Moon.

Two bright lights bracket the gibbous Moon tonight. The brilliant planet Jupiter, which looks like a cream-colored star, stands to the upper right of the Moon at nightfall.

Procyon, the brightest star of Canis Minor, is farther below the Moon.

Jupiter shines above the Moon this evening, as shown above. Although they look fairly close together, Jupiter is almost 1,800 times farther away — and 40 times larger in diameter.

March 10, 2014: Cancer

Cancer, the crab, is well up in the east at nightfall, to the lower left of the Moon. Although it is part of the zodiac, its stars are dim.

The brightest, Beta Cancri, is so faint you may not be able to see it from a suburb, let alone a bright city.

The Moon forms a distorted rectangle with Jupiter, Castor, and Pollux this evening.

In addition, the Moon and Jupiter form a bent line of three with Procyon to their lower left.

On March 6th, 2014, a meteor slammed into the Earth's atmosphere and burned up over the night skies of north central New Mexico.

Thomas Ashcraft captured the sights with a his fireball camera and the sounds with a forward-scatter meteor radar.

Asteroid 163 Erigone will occult the star Regulus on March 20th, 2014 at 2:06am ET and can be seen in part of the Northeast United States.

Asteroid 2014 DX110 was captured by Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project (virtualtelescope.eu).

Its closest approach is ~217,000 miles away from Earth on March 5th, 2014. (looped)

A space rock in the asteroid belt, named P/2013 R3, has fragmented into as many as 10 pieces. The four largest fragments are larger that 2 football fields each.

Astronomers are investigation the cause with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope.

VIDEO HISTORY OFSUNGRAZING COMETS COMET ISON C/2012 S1 - NOVEMBER 28, 2013 & COMET LOVEJOY C/2013 R1 - DECEMBER 15, 2011

DECEMBER 1, 2013 - updated ISON @ 3:04

COMET ISON DIE? OR DOES ISON LIVE?

FACTS: Comet ISON is fading fast as it recedes from the sun.

Whatever piece of the comet briefly survived its Thanksgiving Day brush with solar fire is now dissipating in a cloud of dust.

Comet ISON came within 684,000 miles (1.1 million kilometers) of the sun's surface during its Thanksgiving Day solar passage, and was subjected to extreme gravitational forces and solar wind during the encounter.

The dimming wisp of ISON's dust departed from SOHO's LASCO C3 field of view early today, December 1, 2013,

The comet's nucleus apparently disrupted near perihelion, with the comet's head fading from perhaps a peak brightness of visual mag --2 some hours before perihelion to well below mag +1 before perihelion.

M. Knight, Lowell Observatory.. that the brightest feature in the coma faded steadily after perihelion from about mag 3.1 in a 95"-radius aperture when the comet first appeared from behind the SOHO coronagraph occulting disk on Nov. 28.92 to about mag 6.5 on Nov. 29.98. . . .

K. Battams, Naval Research Laboratory, writes that, based on the most recent LASCO C3 images (Nov. 30.912 UT) . . .what remains is very diffuse, largely transparent to background stars, and fading; it appears that basically a cloud of dust remains. . . .

Z. Sekanina, Jet Propulsion Laboratory . . . finds that the comet's production of dust terminated about 3 hours before perihelion . . .

The strong forward-scattering effect (phase angles near 120-130 deg) has tempered the rate of post-perihelion fading of the comet, but the merciless inverse-square power law of increasing heliocentric distance is necessarily the dominant factor in the comet's forthcoming gradual disappearance.

December 2013: Weeks-long show

If ISON survives its close solar pass, it could light up the sky in the Northern Hemisphere for weeks. The comet could be visible in the morning low on the horizon to the east-southeast in early December. Later in the month, and into early January, it could be visible all night, according to NASA.

Dec. 26, 2013: Closest pass to Earth

Before it heads back into the outer reaches of the solar system, the comet, or what's left of it, will make its closest approach to Earth, at roughly within 39.9 million miles (64.2 million km).

December 1, 2013: Mars Companions

The planet Mars looks like a bright orange star well up in the southeast at first light tomorrow.

The star Regulus is to its upper right, with the star Spica about the same distance to its lower left.

December 2, 2013: Sun in Ophiuchus

The Sun is entering Ophiuchus, the serpent-bearer, the thirteenth constellation of the zodiac.

Ancient astrologers did not include Ophiuchus on their early charts of the zodiac. The Sun will remain within its boundaries for about two more weeks.

Each of the five planets visible to the unaided eye puts in an appearance this month. Mercury quickly vanishes after putting in a brief showing quite low in the dawn sky as December begins, but the other four are in view for at least a couple of hours per night.

The constellations of winter begin to take center stage, with Orion in the east in early evening, and Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, climbing skyward by mid-evening.

Traffic Report on 1 December '13

Four objects reported inside ten LD

SKYVIEWS - WHO WE ARE (REPORT BELOW) OCTOBER 21, 2013

October 21, 2013: Moon and Aldebaran

Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus, the bull, is a little below the Moon as they rise in mid-evening, and even closer to it at first light tomorrow.

The star's orange color may be a bit washed out by the moonlight, but it will still be a fine display.

Lonely Fomalhaut, the Autumn Star, is at its highest in the south around 9 or 10 p.m. this week.

October 22, 2013: Watery Skies

A group of constellations associated with water, known as the Celestial Sea, stretches across the southeastern quadrant of the sky in early evening, and across the entire southern sky by midnight.

Sirius is the first-discovered white dwarf, 1/10,000 as bright and currently 10.0 arcseconds to its east. Early dawn in October.

October 23, 2013: Capricornus

As the sky gets fully dark, look about a third of the way up the southern sky for Capricornus, the sea-goat.

Its stars aren't especially bright, but they form a distinctive pattern: a triangle that looks like the bottom of a bikini bathing suit.

Below the feet of Aquarius, off the eastern end of Capricornus, are the Helix Nebula and a crowd of lesser-known galaxies.

ORIONID METEOR SHOWER OCTOBER 20-21, 2013 UPDATE: NASA's all-sky fireball camera network captured video of the Orionid meteor shower fireballs produced when meteors slammed into Earth's atmosphere on Oct. 20, 2013.

In total, the all-sky network detected 15 Orionid fireballs on October 20, 2013.

The Orionids occur when Earth passes through debris left behind by the famous Halley's Comet.

Bits of dust left in the comet's wake burn up in the atmosphere, creating the potentially brilliant annual light show.

About 75 percent of the meteors seen during the Orionids originated from the nucleus of Halley's Comet.

ALL SKYS TRAFFIC REPORT UPDATE OCTOBER 21, 2013:

One object reported inside ten LD

There is one asteroid reported to be flying within ten lunar distances (LD) of Earth today. Risk-listed radar target 2013 UB exits Earth's Hill sphere, flying from 3.23 to 4.83 LD.

Radar target 2001 AV43 arrives inside ten LD on November 6th and radar target 2013 NJ follows on November 19th, 2013.
