April 28, 2013 SPACE – Comet TENAGRA: Cbet nr. 3478, issued on 2013, April 19, announces the discovery of a apparently asteroidal object (discovery magnitude ~19.6) by M. Schwartz and P. R. Holvorcem on CCD images obtained with the Tenagra II 0.41-m f/3.75 astrograph located near Nogales, AZ, U.S.A. After posting on the Minor Planet Center’s NEOCP webpage, this apparently asteroidal object has been found to show cometary features by our team. Stacking of 12 R-filtered exposures, 50-sec each, obtained remotely from Haleakala-Faulkes Telescope North on 2013, April 18.4, through a 2.0-m f/10.0 Ritchey-Chretien + CCD (operated by LCOGT), shows that this object is a comet: compact coma about 5” in diameter elongated toward PA 110. The new comet has been designated COMET C/2013 G9 (TENAGRA).  –Astro Watch

 

Cassini – meteoroids are breaking into streams of rubble and crashing into Saturn’s rings

The Watchers - 28 April 2013 - by Chiffre

New results from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft show that small meteoroids are breaking into streams of rubble and crashing into Saturn’s rings. Saturn’s rings are the only place besides Earth, the moon, and Jupiter where researchers along with amateur astronomers have been able to observe impacts as they happen, as this new observations show. By studying the impact rate of meteoroids from outside the Saturn’s system scientists can better understand how different planet systems in the Solar System formed. There are a lot of small, speeding objects in our Solar System. Planetary bodies are very often pummeled by them. The meteoroids...

Planetary alignment / earthquake watch – April 27-28, 2013

The Watchers - 28 April 2013 

Two very strong planetary alignments (Mars-Earth-Sun-Saturn), supported by (Mercury-Venus-Jupiter) fall during this time-frame with an added influence involving the Asteroid Ceres and astrological aspects involving Pluto indicate a potential for a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on either one of these forecasted days. This is my own analysis using heliocentric imagery, geocentric portrait and harmonic translations to predict possible effects here on Earth. I am using astrological aspects in this forecast in-conjunction with lunar modulations.   Targeting a large Coronal Hole (CH566) in Northern Hemisphere of the solar corona: after further analysis I have isolated an area (16-24°N latitude) this Coronal Hole...Two very strong planetary alignments (Mars-Earth-Sun-Saturn), supported by (Mercury-Venus-Jupiter) fall during this time-frame with an added influence involving the Asteroid Ceres and astrological aspects involving Pluto indicate a potential for a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on either one of these forecasted days.

Heavenletter #4538 - Love Gone

MomT's picture

God said:

You may believe you have been running toward love and have been thwarted more than once. The truth may be that you may have been running away from love and, in so doing, naming yourself a victim. Therefore, you convinced yourself and found someone else to take blame for the love that you yourself deflected.

You may be confident that someone rejected you. They may have, and yet you may have instigated it. You are not the fall guy no matter how much you may feel you are. You are the instigator. You set yourself up. It’s hard for you to believe, yet you ejected yourself from love, landed in an empty field while lingering embers prevented you from forgiving another for your flight. Yes, you set yourself up.

Sydney bathing in late season warmth

It has been six years since Sydney has been as warm this late in autumn, bathing in 26 degree sunshine for the third day running. You have to go back to May 2007 to find the last time the city has had three consecutive days this warm this late in the season. It is also only the eighth time in the last 150 years that it has been this warm this late.

 

A big plus for many people is that the current unseasonable, sunny warmth is falling on their long Anzac weekend. It is also the final weekend of the school holidays. It is also not too bad for those who have had to put up with a standard two-day weekend. This is the warmest weekend this late in autumn in 23 years. For both Saturday and Sunday to reach at least 26 degrees has not occurred this late in autumn since 1990.

Weatherzone, By: Sam Brown, Sunday 04/28/2013

 

It was the coolest night last night since the end of last year for parts of Queensland and northeast New South Wales. Last night was the coolest night since October last year for Taree in NSW and at Winton in QLD, dropping to 7.1 degrees and 11.9 degrees respectively. It was also the coolest night since November in Ballina NSW (11.7 degrees) and Moranbah QLD (12.9 degrees).

 

This cool night was due to clear skies, allowing heat from the previous day to return back into the atmosphere and cooler air to replace it.

Sam Brown, Saturday April 27, 2013 - 13:01 EST

 

Storm force winds and huge seas are battering Tasmania, although the worst is yet to come. At 7:20am this morning the Cape Sorell waverider buoy registered a maximum wave height of 10.5 metres. All recordings so far today have been above 6.9 metres and maximum wave heights have remained above 5.5m since Thursday morning.

 

Wind gusts of 131 km/h at Maatsuyker Island, 128 km/h at Scotts Peak and 109 km/h on Mt Read have already been recorded today. Winds averaging around 70 km/h with peak gusts of up to 130 km/h are forecast for parts of the Western and South East districts this evening. Gusts may be even stronger at higher elevations.

Possible late season cyclone for Queensland

Silver's picture

Weatherzone, By: Drew Casper-Richardson, 04/27/2013

 

The north tropical Queensland coast may be impacted by a late season tropical cyclone next week. A weak low has formed within a trough over the Solomon Sea. Over the next few days this low is expected to intensify and move slowly in a west-southwest direction, towards the eastern Cape York Peninsula coast. The Bureau of Meteorology are rating Monday as a high likelihood (that is, greater than 50% chance) of this system developing into a tropical cyclone.

 

Should a cyclone form it will be named Zane. Sea surface temperatures in the region are around 29 degrees which provides ample energy to fuel tropical cyclone formation and development.
