Remember back in the day when Republicans in Congress and ‘baggers across the nation were decrying Obama’s bailout of the auto industry? Yeah. Well, they’re pretty silent these days. Why? It seems that not only have they paid back the money – with interest – but the Big Three are now out of bankruptcy and just yesterday Chrysler announced they will keep a plant open which was slated for closure in 2012 and the industry has added 55,000 jobs overall. [...] The problem in the end may be that those who like the skies dark at night may viewed as “those intellectuals” or, “those people hate children!” as we hear the sports mafias intone until we’re ready to puke. But to vilify someone for wanting the skies dark, which may be the reason they moved here in the first place, is unfair and unjust. That the skies have been dark this long should speak to all of us.

BIGGEST FULL MOON OF THE YEAR: The Moon that’s causing trouble for the Geminid display happens to be biggest full Moon of 2008, as much as 14% wider and 30% brighter than lesser Moons we’ve seen earlier this year. An astronomer would say this is a “perigee Moon” because it occurs at perigee, the side of the Moon’s elliptical orbit closest to Earth. Go outside tonight and take a look. The meteor rate may be low, but the lunar beauty index is off the charts. Check http://spaceweather.com for updates [...] |
