 Greetings from Palmia Observatory

Well, smoke and ash filled skies give us a red Martian landscape look, but the clouds are expected to clear away for a chance to again see the latest Starlink "string of pearls."

Well here we are trying to summarize the other half of a week's worth of online conferences that occurred at the very same time.  Last time we did the LISA XIII Symposium and this time we report on the Humans To Mars Summit, August 31 - September 3, 2020.  It is easy thinking about living on Mars, especially right now because of fires in nearby mountains the sunlight coming through the clouds takes on a definite reddish tint.

Well this week has been a busy, over scheduled week of two online conferences, which both occurred at the same time of the day.

Galileo sat too! Maybe integrated crane and launch facility in Boca Chica; My RaspberryShake didn't feel the earthquake; Take the Physicist Wannabe Test; More on superposition; KTLA5 and Entanglement?

 Greetings from Palmia Observatory

Well last week we reported on our experience with the Galileoscope and now have some further observations about that and other news events.

Mars and Jupiter together and Jovian Moons; Building a Galileoscope from a kit; Looking at Jupiter and the Moon with the Galileoscope

 Greetings from Palmia Observatory

Well, the latest Mars rover is now on its way to Mars.  When we look up in the night sky and see Mars and wonder what will be found, we note that Jupiter appears also nearby, but of course it is much further away.
