I’m trying to lasso your heart, is it working?
It all adds up
Comet Leonard Closeup from Australia : What does Comet Leonard look like up close? Although we can’t go there, imaging the comet’s coma and inner tails through a small telescope gives us a good idea. As the name implies, the ion tail is made of ionized gas – gas energized by ultraviolet light from the Sun and pushed outward by the solar wind. The solar wind is quite structured and sculpted by the Sun’s complex and ever changing magnetic field. The effect of the variable solar wind combined with different gas jets venting from the comet’s nucleus accounts for the tail’s complex structure. Following the wind, structure in Comet Leonard’s tail can be seen to move outward from the Sun even alter its wavy appearance over time. The blue color of the ion tail is dominated by recombining carbon monoxide molecules, while the green color of the coma surrounding the head of the comet is created mostly by a slight amount of recombining diatomic carbon molecules. Diatomic carbon is destroyed by sunlight in about 50 hours – which is why its green glow does not make it far into the ion tail. The featured imagae was taken on January 2 from Siding Spring Observatory in Australia. Comet Leonard, presently best viewed from Earth’s Southern Hemisphere, has rounded the Sun and is now headed out of the Solar System. via NASA
I actually need to sleep for five days straight
I packed my bag without forgetting my camera and digital video camera. The rain keeps falling from yesterday dotted by lightning, this will not change my decision.

The Mansion Incident. That was the night I led the S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team into the Arklay Mountains and we touched down in the surrounding woods. We were to look into the disappearance of Bravo Team. At least, that was the bait…
