Bright Venus and mythical Atlantis

Space Weather News for Jan 14, 2009

FANTASTIC ICE HALOS: Researchers in Finland have discovered a new way to create luminous ice halos in the night sky. Their tools are as simple as a bright lamp and icy, blowing air.

Some of the arcs they routinely photograph were previously seen only in remote parts of Antarctica. Sample photos and must-see movies are featured in today's edition of SpaceWeather News.


HOURS OF VENUS: Today and for the rest of the week, Venus is at maximum elongation (greatest apparent distance) from the sun. This means the silvery planet is "up" for more than three hours after sunset.

Go outside after dark, face south, and take a long look. Venus is so bright it outshines city lights and even pierces thin clouds. The view through a backyard telescope may surprise you.

Notes of a reluctant astrologer:

Venus is highly implicated in the Dec 21, 2012 Mayan Calendar vortex of argument and speculation concerning the end of time as we know it, or some sort of catastrophe including, but not limited to, melting of polar ice caps and earth's poles shifting.

Therefore, it's best to keep a close eye on the lady, esp since she signifies America's totem, the Statue of Liberty.

Now you know the purported deal about melting ice caps and mythical Atlantis, don't you? That the prescient Atlanteans hid secret scrolls or manuscripts within the shelter of the Pole/s.

The secrets 'they say' are hidden there are worth melting the ice from a satellite in space, people of earth (as Craig's monkey puppet so often warns) - it seems they contain the secret of immortality....as if this corrupt planet is a grand place to park your permanent flag.

Still, if any of this stuff is true, I must wonder what the Plutonians will have left to subjugate after all is flooded, soggy, and infested with mold and mildew. Selfish psychopaths, she typed grumpily.
