Last night the sky was clear so Logan and I pulled out the starmap and flashlight and did some observing from the backyard. Recently I've been focusing on the Southwestern horizon simply because of the lack of line of sight obstructions, but decided to check out the Northeast sky. I'm really glad I did! Here are the most interesting objects we observed last night. Cassiopia The first constellation that caught my eye was Cassiopia (click for larger): As you can see, Cassiopia has a distinct...

[UPDATE]: Spectroscope build instructions delayed until I fix whatever the hell is wrong with my digital camera. Sorry :\ This weekend I was blessed with a dearth of homework, so I decided to build two types of spectrometer from more-or-less useless items found around my bedroom. But before we get to the fun part (building), we need to learn some science-y shit first.

Holy hell. I found this article via Coast to Coast. A Canadian senior is suing the CIA for brainwashing techniques used in the 1950s. She was suffering from post-partum depression and checked herself into the renowned Allen Memorial Institute in 1950. Over the next 15 years, she was subjected to massive electroshock therapy, expiremental drugs, dosed with LSD, induced into coma, and listened to repetitive messages for days on end. This is a technique called psychic driving that is supposed to... Read Full Story

I found this online today and it’s pretty neat. An undergrad at West Virginia University discovered an extrememly powerful extragalactic radio burst in archived data from Parkes radio dish in Australia. The signal lasted only 5 milliseconds but in that time released approxiamately the same amount of energy the Sun puts out in a month. They’re not really sure what it is, but it’s very interesting. One hypothesis is that it’s the result of two merging neutron stars, but data archived by gamma... Read Full Story
