Super Full Moon- March 19

Damn! Not a chance to see the super- full moon today. It will be the biggest in 20 years! But it´s cloudy and rainy here;((( Maybe some other bloggers will have more luck with their observation.

Astronomy-day

Today Space-Shuttle Discovery returned. So I focus on astronomy today.
Something interesting here- universe today.

Moon, Sun, Sci Fi, Music

 It´s nice to see you 2011 again;)

Due to my holidays here, I haven´t posted a lot- BUT...

I finished my second novel, that means, I have started to revise my novel;) Although this part of writing has always been the hardest for me.

Other interesting news? Nope.
Visited fam and friends, ate too much good food;) - nothing spectacular, but nice and relaxing.
Finally I had time to do really nothing for some days. Watched some movies- Avatar (great animation!), Chicago (great actors-R. Gere;)) C.Z. Jones, and phantastic music!!), Mamma Mia (the same description as before, just other actors;), Music of the heart (Touching story) , Doubt ( film adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize winning stage play, open end, great actors- Streep, Hoffman, Davis) ...some movies with one of my fav actresses-Meryl Streep.

Have you seen one of these?

Now back to something different. Astronomy.
The lights in the city are too bright for observing stars, therefore my telescope is placed in the countryside.
But unfortunately I couldn´t see a lot of the partial solar eclipse here on January , 4  ;( The weather was not that good.  I couldn´t observe anything during the holidays:(-- too many clouds again. But here a pic of the astronomic event:

Wish you a happy weekend!

**************************? No.

Didn´t see one meteor yesterday:-( because
-it isn´t dark enough in the city
-it was a bit cloudy
-I went to bed too early;-)

Newspapers wrote about 100 meteors within an hour.
Ok, I saw pictures, heard M.´s story about observing them,...
Next year - next possibility****************************

Finished my course today; actually tomorrow is my last meeting- conference time.
Ready to start the project- after Hamburg.

Oohh-my goodness! what a thunderstorm...starts hailing...hope everyone´ll come home without troubles-especially md.

so, forgot what I wanted to write; I really worry too much sometimes...
Take care out there.
