I got a telescope for Christmas! Unusually for us I’ve started using it already in the hopes of maybe seeing comet ISON which may break up at the end of this month. Telescope is a Sky-Watcher Heritage 130p and its … Continue reading

Blue skies, smiling at me, nothing but blue skies, do I see…

Just remember that we’re standing on a planet that’s evolving…
…and revolving at 900 miles an hour. It’s orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it’s reckoned, a sun that is the source of all our power. The Sun and you and me and all the stars that we can … Continue reading
