The crown jewel in the night sky, the red ruby of the cosmos, Mars, is closer to the earth than it has been in decades and will not be this close again until 2016. It is the bling of
our gallery, red and glowing even with a full moon. And speaking of other bright things the ten brightest stars in the sky are ranked as such, Sirius, Canopus, Alpha Centauri, Arcturus, Vega, Cupella, Rigel, Procyon, and Achernau rounds out the top ten...

I for one am all for the idea that they exist because I’ve seen them myself in three different places, Washington state, upstate N.Y. and Spain of course I’ve been called crazy, too...

Talking about bright lights, a recent cosmic explosion baffled scientists. The gamma ray burst (GRB) is thought to be that of the death of a massive star. Brad Cenko of California Institute of Science described it as “a bright burst with blackness on all sides…” It seems the explosion actually happened 9.4 billion years ago. That’s a time before time...

Billions are things only the likes of Buffett, Gates and the War in Iraq know about or will cost, but billions in space is as ordinary as a boiled egg. We’re seeing light from stars and planets in space that started their trip here billions of years ago so that our squinty eyes can see them, but in a real contradiction, Larry Rudnick looking into the great expanse of stars and planets, black holes, comets and other special anomalies saw nothing at all. Yes, in the middle of all space there is a Great Void, a place where scientists see nothing just darkness and this isn’t a small space of nothingness, it is a billion years across, that’s right so big it can only be measured in time and what does a billion years look like out in space, this void would appear or actually not appear to be 40 times the size of a full moon to our sight and that’s not lunacy that’s just a lot of nothing...
