The planet parade continues into February .

Planet parade continues

February is a fantastic month for stargazing, with a planet parade happening! Here are some tips to help you make the most of it:
When to Watch:
* Early February: The planet parade is happening from February 1st to 9th. This is your prime time to see multiple planets lined up.
* Throughout February: While the main parade is early in the month, February offers other great stargazing opportunities, including the Full Snow Moon on February 12th and Venus at its brightest on February 16th.
What to Look For:
* Planet Parade: During the first week of February, you’ll have a chance to see six planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune) aligned in the sky.
* Moon and Planet Pairings: Keep an eye out for the Moon passing close to different planets throughout the month. These pairings make for beautiful sights.
* Venus: Venus will be particularly bright this month, reaching its peak brightness on February 16th.
Tips for Viewing:
* Find a Dark Spot: The less light pollution, the better. Try to get away from city lights if possible.
* Check the Weather: Clear skies are essential for stargazing. Check the forecast before you head out.
* Use Binoculars or a Telescope: While some planets are visible to the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope will enhance your viewing experience and allow you to see fainter objects.
* Be Patient: It takes time for your eyes to adjust to the darkness, so be patient and allow yourself time to take in the night sky.
* Use a Sky Chart or App: A sky chart or stargazing app can help you identify planets and other celestial objects.
* Dress Warmly: February nights can be cold, so dress in layers to stay comfortable.
Specific Dates to Note:
* February 1st: The crescent moon will be close to Venus and Saturn.
* February 5th: The moon will be near Uranus.
* February 6th: The moon will be close to Jupiter.
* February 9th: The moon will be near Mars.
* February 12th: The Full Snow Moon will be visible.
* February 16th: Venus will be at its brightest.
Remember to check online resources or stargazing apps for the most up-to-date information on celestial events and their visibility in your location.
Enjoy the show!

Enjoy it for you and yours…K

Solar Maximum

Sources are saying that the sun is at solar maximum r. And will continue maybe even in the 2026. The 11-year cycle seems to be not to the minute. Look for more magnetic storms particles going by the Earth, producing Aurora Borealis light effects that you might enjoy.

Fall is the line, go sublime. KDG
The wait is no point when terrors die.
You know that time will come again and you fit the groove.
Take fair soloists to your bed, you matter in this charge.
That again the pattern to your pleasure will rise and then Fall again for your tour de-life...

The particles also reflect back heat.

Did you get some viewing of the electro magnetic storm activity as it sent particles past the earth lately?

Thanks Governments and agencies for the exploration and science that will enable us to come to better understanding and coping with our environment and its levers.

Polar lights are on the ends of the earth and are bent by our magnetic fields.
More sun activity, business insider

Mars,

Aside

Spacex is a private contractor brought along by NASA to commercially provide service to space projects and development. The company is involved with the Artimas return to the moon program that will send  four people back to the moon and have two of them land.

The view that we cannot rely on the earth to preserve our species existence drives  Spacex through its founder Elon Musk. The view  is strengthened by many nations taking it for strategic purposes that would result in permanent occupation of the moon and it  used as a base to do the same on Mars.

This is incredibly expensive and dangerous . The view that we would be better served making earth a better cared for and safer place is mitigated slightly by the advance of science involved in space exploration.

Property on the moon.

Not permanently attached

The moon base that is being planned is not attached to the moon. On Earth and in particular Canada the juristiction for regulation comes in two forms one being the government established over the land making by way of legislation that level of control, this is secured by the permanent attachment of buildings to land under the level of constitutional power given and its presence to govern.

The other being finance, dead pledge or other lenders and financers have laws that they can use to have returns of investment or other rewards out of underwriting.

Like Antarctica the moon is treaty bound not to be owned by any separate jurisdictions and like a trailer park equity is hard to realize. In tangibles such of knowledge can be freely exercised but like photos once printed they surly lose claim to tangible value as knowledge can seldom be bound.

Treaty since 1967

The governance and allocation of rights to the moon are indeed guided by an international treaty known as the Outer Space Treaty. This treaty, which came into force in 1967, outlines principles for the use and exploration of outer space, including the moon. It establishes that the moon and other celestial bodies are not subject to national appropriation by any means, and that they are to be used for peaceful purposes. Additionally, the treaty stipulates that the exploration and use of outer space, including the moon, should be carried out for the benefit of all countries and should not be subject to individual appropriation. Therefore, the tangible value of the moon cannot be owned or shared in the traditional sense, and any rights or claims to the moon must comply with the guidelines set forth in the Outer Space Treaty.

Trailer park boys, cast aways, desert Island folks welcome

Poetic justice is available to all that did not respect the permanence of this blue pearl, home is were the heart is so be respectful as you realize what you are giving up for your adventure.

Good luck, out.

Colour and stars

Stars are suns like ours.

12-P Pons-Brooks

This comet is called 12-P Pons-Brooks,the comet will make its closest approach to earth on April 8th. Comets are made of dust and ice and usually pose no threat. However superstition can cause great discomfort and loss of clear thinking when omens are over-believed.

There are about four different colours of comet trails.The trails depend on the chemical make up for colour as they come close to suns they will change accordingly to chemical brew.

Chemicals in comets play a crucial role in determining their appearance and behavior. These cosmic wanderers are composed of various substances, including water ice, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia. As a comet approaches the sun, these volatile compounds are heated, causing the release of dust and gas, which forms the characteristic coma and tail. The distinct colors observed in comet trails are a result of the chemical composition, with different elements producing different hues as they react to solar radiation. This fascinating phenomenon provides valuable insights into the composition of these celestial bodies.

Comet 12-p will likey b green as the chemicals are Dia Atom (two Carbon) and when mixing with outgas from the sun and heat will make that chemical signature.

April 10th look 7 degrees from the thin lunar slip in Aries.

All planets larger then earth

The Earth is about two dozen thousand miles, or 40,075 kilometers and NASA’S recent discouvery of this solar system has a possible 7 planets that are larger. The completed Solar system indicates that our type system is “more common” then thought.

Kepler-385 is a star located approximately 5000 light-years away from Earth. It is a star similar in size to our sun and belongs to the Kepler field. The Kepler mission, a space-based observatory launched by NASA, aimed to discover Earth-like planets within our galaxy.

The star Kepler-385 has been found to have six verified planets orbiting around it. These exoplanets are located within the habitable zone, which is the region around a star where conditions may be suitable for the existence of liquid water and, potentially, life as we know it.

Studying exoplanets like those around Kepler-385 can help scientists better understand the diversity of planetary systems in our universe and shed light on the possibilities of finding habitable worlds beyond our own. Kepler-385 and its planetary system continue to be a subject of interest and study for astronomers and astrophysicists alike.

Here is an image of the Kepler-385 star system:
