Some interesting pictures of our universe....

True image of a false kiva.....

Is there any place in the world you could see a sight like this? Yes! This digital mosaic shows the night sky as seen from False Kiva in Canyonlands National Park, eastern Utah, USA. Diving into the Earth far in the distance is part of the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. Much closer, the planet Jupiter is visible as the bright point just to band's left. Closer still are the park's picturesque buttes and mesas lit by a crescent moon. In the foreground is the cave housing a stone circle of unknown origin named False Kiva. The cave itself was briefly lit by flashlight during the exposure. Astrophotographer Wally Pacholka reports that getting to the cave was no easy trek. Also, mountain lions were a concern while waiting alone in the dark to record the mosaic.

A small asteroid 2008 TC3 fell to Earth at dawn on October 7, 2008, tracking through the skies over the Nubian Desert in northern Sudan. That event was remarkable because it was the first time an asteroid was detected in space before crashing into planet Earth's atmosphere.

AND...here she is.....I called her "Sudan..."

We should hitch a ride on the shuttle and go look at space from way up there. It would be so cool.

SUNDOGS AND DONKEY SHADOWS: The next time you're out walking on a sunny day and you meet a donkey, duck into its shadow. It's a great place to find rings around the sun:

Thank you Wendy...I will.

I love astronomy. Very often I will drive my car up to the beach in my jammies with a big mug of coffee and look for comets with my fishermen neighbors:-6
