The Lake House is coming out 6-16-06. with Sandra Bullock and K. Reeves.  If it is playing in your area I would say that.  Cars looks like it would be hiliarious.  Don't think I would do See No Evil would probable dampen the evening.  Break Up saw the previews it looks pretty funny.  If your local movie theatre has a website you can check it out  by clicking the i for more info or going to www.screenit.com

The number of visible stars is the same whether it is overcast or not.  The question is whether we can see them from our particular vantage point.\n\nAnyways...\n\n\nIf the relative humidity is very high, then there is an excess of moisture in the air that particulate can stick to.\n\nLogic says yes, it would make it harder to see the stars.\nFOr instance, if you look toward the horizon, there is so much atmosphere that the views from this angle would be limited in quality.\n\nBut maybe on a clear night with high relative humitidy, looking straight up wouldn't effect the view too much.  Good question.  Another thought is, after it rains really good, and the clouds clear, the humidity would be high but particulate in the air at a minimum for a short while.  SO, maybe the viewing would be better at that point.

I've seen the forecast for tonight, it looks as if we might be in for a bit of a blow! What really worries me is that Meridian News, our region's local TV station, had a live report on the weather from Margate................I live in Margate, and if they think weather is going to be so bad that they need a film crew here, I'm afraid......very afraid!

The leonids peak 04:35 and 05:00 UT on 19th November, so I guess it should be around 2035 (8:35pm) and 21:00 (9.00pm)Pacific Standard Time on 18th November.\n\nBut thats not important. All you have to do is to start your observation, from a clear dark sky, around or after midnight and try to keep a watch the skies in the eastern direction. You will be rewarded with meteors. The frequency will increase as day break approaches.\n\nBest wishes

How astronomers come up with the timetable I don't know. It isn't as if we can watch the lifecycle of a single star, to see if we are right!\n\nBut..\n\nOur sun (Sol) is considered a  young star. Antares, a red supergiant, has burned up most of its original fuel, and has started converting energy in a different way, hence it's larger size and changed color. Technically, Antares is "older" than Sol.\n\nOf course, if you ask it, it may tell you it isn't a day over 29...

Just heard a blurb on the news the other day stateing that Fla. is at the top of the list for home repo`s. Oh and by the way, have`nt heard of any UFO sitings recently, but the aliens HAVE landed!!!! And "Mopar", they`re not palmetto bugs. They`re COCKROACHES!!!!!!!!! All silliness aside, although I reside in Fla. You could`nt pay me to live in most of the hubbles they`re throwing together down here. I`m still scratching my head wondering why anyone would construct a domicile of wood in a region infested with insects that have this material as their only food source. These are the same people that are building multimillion dollar houses on "marshes". Ya`ll know what marshes are. Most of the rest of the country call them swamps!!!!  The idiots building on the ocean are`nt any better. A small contingent of ocean front owners in Ponte Vedra want the state to pay to rejuvinate their erroded beach. I say, why should I pay for it. Sorry but you built on "SAND"!!!! Mother`s gonna take what`s hers. Sometimes with a vengence. Regarding the people coming in droves!! Be prepared for road rage, the traffic already SUCKS!!!! And there aint no relief in site!!!  RED HOT? Yeah all tempers!!

The scientists are saying that a "big one" is going to happen. It's not a question of "if", its "when." And they don't know when, it is still, unfortuneatley, impossible to predict earthquakes. They have specials on this topic on the Discovery Channel, so check out your local listings so you can see. I think there's even a movie. Anyways, there is also a huge fault by Washington.

This is caused by thermic convection of the air. In the deserts you normally have high differences in temperature between day and night, so hot air is rising rapidly while cold air is moving downwards after sunset. This different densities in the air makes the light bend and the stars seems as if they are dancing, just as if you were looking through an irregular glass. \nIt's a bad night for astronomers.

I did too. Watched it out the kitchen window while drinking my cup 'o joe. It was very pretty. The moon was full too as I took the dog for her walk this morning...very pretty out today. \nI have an empty field too - it's on the west side though - I would miss the sunset....hopefully I don't get a Wallyworld or skyscraper either! :)

Thank you very much for the link you gave. I read this news yesterday night on Yahoo. I have forgotten about this until you have remind me. Thank you again.  \nIs there any other way for us to view it other than using a telescope? I don't have a telescope.

Wow! Thanks for the "heads up".  I wasn't aware of that.  I'm in Florida, so around 2pm here I should be able to set up some equipment so that the whole office can see it.  We have a lot of optical equipment here so it'll be a great opportunity.\n\nFor Jessi:\nYou can take a telescope and point it towards the sun. (Don't look through the telescope)  Then project the sun's image onto a blank sheet of paper and focus until you see the sun's image.  You'll be able to see sunspots and Mercury passing from right to left along the bottom side of the image.  It should last from about 2pm edt until sunset.

I did.  You had to go out after 3 AM, because otherwise the point at which the meteors were coming in from wasn't up yet.\n\nI saw probably 10 or 12 really good ones even though I live in the outskirts of a city.

If the weather's on your side, do something outdoors.  My hubby goes long hauling a lot and we love to have a picnic in a.. ahem... very private spot where we can say goodbye properly.  We pack some food and a bottle of wine or sixpack of beer, lots of bugspray and sunscreen, and a good blanket and watch the sun go down and the stars come up.  Way better than TV or a movie, and costs virtually nothing!

Your life may look like crud at the moment, but it will improve.\n\nSadly, the stars suggest that the cookie was wrong. Those clouds are settling in.\n\nGood luck!

Well, maybe they are trying to stay out of plain sight. They probably aren't wanting to make a lot of waves right now. I haven't noticed any difference where I live, however, like someone rudely said up there about not getting out much, I don't get out to other cities very often myself, since I do have the need to work for a living and PAY MY TAXES. Plenty of times I leave before the sun comes up and get home after it sets. Some of us do work jobs.\n\nWhat kind of lingo is that thing up ^ there (eguerrerojb) using? I have never seen such jibberish. I can't quite decipher what it's trying to mutter. Sounds a little like it might be jealous of you Cher, better watch out!! LOL\n\nB.A.R.B.A.R.A - Children should be seen and not heard. You kids need to go take a nap. Let the adults discuss the problems of the world, it's too complex for your under developed brains. \n\nThey might have a little of the green-eyed monster in them too, Cher, sounds like it might have something to do with your Glock. lock and load! LMAO

What stable? You can't see the storms so you think its stable. Many big stars disappear, only God knows how long this earth is here.
