Solar Eclipse in Solaris
Did anyone get to see the solar eclipse yesterday? I’ll get pictures of it one day. Coming up is the equinox on the 20th or March. I know some people that are looking forward to the increasing da...
Leonids (November 17th and 18th) in Solaris
The Leonid meteor shower is just a couple days away. The following taken from Seasky.org : November 17, 18 - Leonids Meteor Shower. The Leonids is an average shower, producing an up to 15 meteors...
Partial Eclipse Sept. 13th in Solaris
If you are in the southern hemisphere, specifically southern Africa, don’t forget to check out the partial lunar eclipse! http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEplot/SEplot2001/SE2015Sep13P.GIF
“A lot of people give up just before they’re about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.” - Chuck Norris Things keep piling on, and I doubt that...
Departure of Lyrids in Solaris
The peak of the Lyrid meteor shower has passed, but you can still see some shooting stars if you look towards the sky tonight. Just a thought for anyone that has a quiet Saturday night ahead of t...
Lyrids - upcoming meteor shower in Solaris
If you’re looking for something neat, check out the sky next week. April 22, 23 - Lyrids Meteor Shower. The Lyrids is an average shower, usually producing about 20 meteors per hour at its peak. I...
Not so much a fan of holidays. They seem to be more of a bother with the daily activities. Today was a day to grocery shop, and apparently judge. There were people either very dressed up, or peop...
Total Lunar Eclipse in Solaris
In two days (on April 4th) there will be a total lunar eclipse. This will be a good one, people! Visibility will be amazing. More details HERE.
I am not amused in Solaris
April Fool’s Day is a day I find severely lacking. The pranks played on people are just absurd or insensitive. Rarely do I find any of them funny. What happened to the world’s originality? Did pe...
There are days I feel like a passenger, and then days I feel strong. Today was one of those days where I was in charge, and my strength went uncontested. Today was shaped by me. I grabbed today b...
Solar Eclipse March 20th in Solaris
For those unaware, there is a solar eclipse on March 20th. More details here: http://www.space.com/28820-total-solar-eclipse-march-2015.html
My thoughts are always scattered about, much like my entry frequency here. I don’t make an effort to write daily, as I just want a place to jot my scattered thoughts as they form. Today is hazy, ...
When faced with unlikely events, it only makes sense that they should be embraced and observed. Doing so then begs the question, do you always accept and study, or do you selectively question or ...
The first evil in Solaris
All my life, I favoured the “good” characters. That hasn’t changed, though I now find myself having a weak spot for a few “bad” characters, too. Specifically Daleks. I quite like the daleks. I lo...
To follow up my last entry: “By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.” - Oscar Wilde
Raining Up in Solaris
I know there are some stupid people out there, and I know this has circulated for a few years now: “Me and my friend are having an argument, she says that it rains in Australia but I know it can’...
I’m certain that we write our own destiny. That’s rather reassuring, isn’t it? We have the power to make things happen in our own lives. The good, the bad, the in between. We have the power to wr...
There were no dreams last night, though there was very little rest. Thankfully, I have not been upgraded nor exterminated. I have heard that upgrading is compulsory.
EXTERMINATE! in Solaris
I have a feeling that any attempt at rest in the immediate future shall be met with futility. Just a hunch. YOU WILL BECOME LIKE US.
I often find myself creating battles for myself. Ironically, they are also with myself. I expect so much from myself that I tend to think I need to go way past what is really needed, and then I e...
Occasionally I find myself torn between writing down my thoughts, or simply thinking my thoughts. Writing them would obviously make it easier to come back to, but sometimes I feel like it is a be...
I’m not a big fan of loose ends. I like concrete information, whether it is something good or not. Vagueness is not my friend. The feeling of abandon is not necessarily one to be feared, and ther...
“Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.” - Leonardo da Vinci
I am not certain if I feel overwhelmed all the choices laid before me, or simply overwhelmed by the fact I have to choose between them and they aren’t the choices I was hoping for.
“Everyone should have their mind blown once a day.” - Neil deGrasse Tyson
