“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”
- William Blake (Born November 28, 1757)
“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.”

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.
Security is mostly a superstition… Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
- Helen Keller

Anticrepuscular Rays Over Colorado
Credit & Copyright: John Britton
Explanation: What’s happening over the horizon? Although the scene may appear somehow supernatural, nothing more unusual is occurring than a setting Sun and some well placed clouds. Pictured above are anticrepuscular rays. To understand them, start by picturing common crepuscular rays that are seen any time that sunlight pours though scattered clouds. Now although sunlight indeed travels along straight lines, the projections of these lines onto the spherical sky are great circles. Therefore, the crepuscular rays from a setting (or rising) sun will appear to re-converge on the other side of the sky. At the anti-solar point 180 degrees around from the Sun, they are referred to as anticrepuscular rays. Pictured above is a particularly striking set of anticrepuscular rays photographed in 2001 from a moving car just outside of Boulder, Colorado, USA.

APOD: 2010 October 14 - Clusters, Hartley, And The Heart
via apod.nasa.gov
Clusters, Hartley, and the Heart Credit & Copyright:
Explanation:
An alluring Comet Hartley 2
cruised through
planet Earth’s night sky on October 8,
passing within about a Full Moon’s
width of the famous double star cluster in Perseus.The much anticipated
celestial photo-op
was recorded here
in a 3 frame mosaic with greenish comet and the
clusters h and Chi Persei
placed at the left.The well-chosen, wide field of view spans about 7 degrees.
It extends across the constellation boundary into Cassiopeia,
all the way to the Heart Nebula (IC 1805)
at the far right.To capture the cosmic moment, a relatively short 5 minute exposure
was used to freeze the moving comet in place, but
a longer exposure with a narrow-band filter was included in the
central and right hand frames.The narrow-band exposure brings out the fainter
reddish glow
of the nebula’s atomic hydrogen gas, in contrast
to the cometary coma’s
kryptonite green.In the past few days,
comet watchers have reported that Hartley 2
has become just visible to the unaided eye for experienced observers
from dark, clear sites.On October 20, the
comet will
make its closest approach to Earth,
passing within about 17 million kilometers.On November 4, a
NASA spacecraft will fly by the
comet’s small nucleus
estimated to be only 1.5 kilometers in diameter.
