Forever Space: You Will Never See the Dark Side of the Moon
http://foreverspace.blogspot.com/2007/02/you-will-never-see-dark-side-of-moon.html
Tuesday, February 13, 2007. You Will Never See the Dark Side of the Moon. Well, technically nobody will ever see the dark side of the moon, because no such thing exists. All sides of the moon receive sunlight, but there's still a side you will never see first-hand.unless you're an astronaut. On a lunar mission. It's the farside, not the dark side. The concepts are similar; the names are different. Oh well, I guess one side is better than no sides. This comment has been removed by the author.

Forever Space: Parallax
http://foreverspace.blogspot.com/2007/02/parallax.html
Saturday, February 10, 2007. One of the earliest arguments against the multi-dimensionality of outer space was parallax. It could've been the ruin of the Copernican Revolution. Parallax is the apparent shift in background (right hand) as the point of observation (head) relative to the observed object (left hand) moves. Copernicus resurrected the heliocentric (sun-centered) model. Parallax wasn't proven until 300 years after Copernicus's model. After all, if the earth is moving, the ground beneath the fal...

Forever Space: Finding North
http://foreverspace.blogspot.com/2007/02/finding-north.html
Monday, February 12, 2007. North It's the "never" in the mneumonic device "never eat spider webs," which translates as North East South West, or the compass directions in a clockwise motion. But where is it? North is north- yes, that's easy. It's where Canada is when you're stateside or the North Pole is when you're anywhere else. It's where birds migrate during the spring and summer and where chill winds from in the bleaker months. Where is north according to the sky? Polaris is very easy to find, even ...

The Obesity Epidemic: High Calorie food
http://theobesityepidemic.blogspot.com/2007/03/high-calorie-food.html
Monday, March 19, 2007. Some food you might have thought was healthy turns out not to be. This includes granola bars and bagels, which most people consider healthy. I knew some things were unhealthy, but applescauce? I never knew there were so many calories in it. I have tried to be healthy and have to admit, I've used some of these foods, thinking they were healthier than other choices. Apparently I was wrong. March 20, 2007 at 5:25 AM. And don't forget the dressing! March 21, 2007 at 8:35 AM. I am a se...

Forever Space: March 2007
http://foreverspace.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 21, 2007. The start of the spring season is far less romantic than the first bloom, the larking robin, or the shortening of sleeves and pant legs, exposing skin and luring your fancy. Instead, the vernal equinox (Latin for spring equal night) happened for only a minute or two, just 7 minutes past midnight today. That marked the moment the sun was directly over the equator, working its way back to the northern hemisphere. Sexy! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Alfred: News and Noise.
