If you find yourself sleepless, you may want to check out the lunar eclipse tonight. It's about 3 hours long, so there's a good chance you could get to see it. There's also a meteor shower out there.
Check out this site from Globalnews for more info:
So, Voyager 1 is now 11 billion miles from Earth. It is continually playing a mix of audio that contains directions on how to find Earth as well as many of humanity's most important cultural music. You guessed right, there's no Justin Bieber on it.
If you could send out audio clips, what would you put on it?
The Geological Society recently held a vote for the top 100 geosites in the world. We will be looking at them in series - the first category that we'll take a look at is: Landscape.
Here is my personal favourite. Which one is yours?
I shall only post the first few panels of the following comic by Treelobsters. Click on here to get the rest - it's cute and will bring a smile to your face.
Mr. McCumber went to a Bill Nye talk, and Mr. Shin recently went to the Dunlap Observatory in Richmond Hill, which has the biggest telescope in Canada. We're trying to gear up for the space portion of this course!
So my friend got a $600 Quadracopter and I sat there one day for hours on end trying to pilot it. Comparing grade 9 math to calculus is like a playing with remote controlled car and trying to attempt this Quadracopter. Even after hours of practice, I couldn't maneuver it consistently within the rooms of the house.
On the other hand, this man took a Quadracopter, attached go pro camera, and went to Iceland to get some serious volcano footage.
There was a point in which he captured the volcano eruption and the Aurora Borealis at the same time. What a beautiful (potential) moment that illustrates both the power and beauty of Earth at the same time. Let me know if you could find it in either the video above or below.
