Astronomy Night on Pier 86

Date: March 19th & 20th
Astronomy Night on Pier 86
Starting at 11:59pm on March 19 and going until 2:30am on March 20, the Intrepid Museum will host astronomers from all over the tri-state region to view the occultation of Regulus, one of the brightest stars in the sky. Astronomers are predicting that shortly after 2:00am, the asteroid 163 Erigone will move between the Earth and Regulus causing the star to completely disappear from view for a brief moment. Come join us at Pier 86 in New York City to witness this beautiful, rare occurrence in the night sky!

Hey, thanks! I actually got an email from them about that this afternoon.

Got done early today, was able to meetup with the family at the National History museum.

Capital Building, Washington's Monument & Ford Theater

The Capitol Building in Washington is probably my all-time favorite piece of American architecture. I'm not a fan of many of the people inside the building, but the structure itself is beyond impressive and inspiring.

The model isn't structurally sound enough anymore to be suspended or hung. As the Smithsonian rotates exhibits semi-frequently, and it themes its placements (you aren't going to see stuff about the Mars Rover alongside '50s airplanes or whatever), there wasn't really a way to give the Enterprise a permanent home. However, as part of the renovations of the museum a while back, a new three-story gift shop was installed, and so the Enterprise was placed in the lower level -- you can get close to it and examine it in detail, but it's on a stand so the model doesn't suffer any further structural degradation.

It's not the most optimal solution, but it makes sense.

Yes, it does. I had never heard an explanation before, so thank you. I will now stop complaining.

My cat Wicket is 13 years old TODAY!

I am going to have a CAT MITZVAH for him because today he is a (old) man. There will be chicken.

Here he is a moment ago reclining regally on some rubbish.




(I think a Cat Mitzvah is the best idea ever, it should totally be a thing!)

Mazel tov, Wicket! You're a very handsome cat mitzvah boy.

My older cat is ten this month. I am sooo doing this in three years!

Donner? Blitzen?

He and his siblings were all named after reindeer by their foster parent. Comet was actually a good name, so we kept it.

I also really love the name Wicket.

Insomnia + boredom + Sharpies = random doodle.

Cheers!

Interesting, these have similar compositions.

One of my old restaurant co-workers is now making her way as a part-time painter. I commissioned this from her two days ago, and I picked it up tonight!

Pretty pumped about it.

 

[Ruaidhri]

Very cool.
