About me
LIKES: astronomy, geology, history/archaeology, geography; travel, hiking, camping; photography, drawing/sketching, computer art; sci-fi (current fandom: Stargate SG1, former fandom: Star Wars); cats; children (because they're so much more sensible than adults).

DOESN'T LIKE: smoking, alchocolism, religious fanatism; pro-global warmers, child abusers, cat abusers, people who drive while using cell phones, politics, people who preach what they don't do themselves or know nothing about, people who stick their noses into areas out of their expertise; snow, fog, rain, ice.

Why I use Clipmarks
Mostly for quickly storing things fround on the Net.
The printing-what-you-want option is too cool and useful to miss, as well.
Don't have much time for *another* social-networking site, so I think I'll pass that up, for now at least. But you're welcome to drop me a note if you wish - as I like to say: my inbox is always open

POPSPersian Clouds - NLC's going south

by mariana3  7-22-2008   
 Spaceweather says: "Noctilucent clouds (NLCs) are supposed to be a high-latitude phenomenon, most often seen in Canada, Russia and northern Europe. On July 19th the electric-blue clouds crept south, all the way to Iran: "I took this picture from Mt. Sabalan, a 15,784 ft extinct volcano in northwestern Iran," says Siamak Sabet. "It is the third highest peak in our extremely mountainous country." When noctilucent clouds first appeared in the late 19th century, they were confined to latitudes above 50o N. Mt Salaban is located at 38o N, far below the old threshold. Just last week, NLCs were sighted in Turkey at 40o N and in recent years they have appeared at least as far south in the United States as Colorado and Utah, also around 40o N. Why are NLCs spreading south? That is an unsolved mystery of these puzzling clouds. Some researchers believe it is a telltale sign of climate change, but this remains controversial. One thing is certain: Sky watchers at all latitudes should be ale

 QUOTE: "...May 9th, as the sun was rising over Gdansk, Poland, an exploding fireball split the sky. Eye-witness Krzysztof Polakowski of the Polish Fireball Network describes it as a "magnitude -8 meteor" or 40 times brighter than Venus. Believe it or not, this shadow-casting fireball was ... nothing special. According to calculations done by Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, magnitude -8 fireballs appear somewhere on Earth around three times a day. That's almost one hundred a month! Lesser fireballs occur even more often...They are caused mainly by random bits and pieces of asteroid and comet debris crashing into our atmosphere as Earth orbits the Sun...."

POPSU.S. Senate Report: Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007

 Not that this is anything new. Being in the geoscientific circles, I can safely say that those collegues who don't care about global warming-politics (and fortunately most of them don't), find this whole climate change hubbub too ridiculous to pay attention to. It's all about money, power and control. And anyone who thinks differently should take any college level book on earth sciences or physical geology and get acquainted with planet Earth.
