Cold Sugar in Space

"Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's giant Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have discovered a frigid reservoir of simple sugar molecules in a cloud of gas and dust some 26,000 light-years away, near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. The discovery suggests how the molecular building blocks necessary for the creation of life could first form in interstellar space."

Stonehenge, stone circles, dolmens, ancient standing stones, cairns, barrows, hillforts and archaeology of megalithic Europe

by Paola Arosio & Diego Meozzi

We both enjoy computers and megalithic sites. During our journeys to Ireland (1989), Scotland (1990 and 1998), Sardinia (1991 and 2001), Southern England (1992), France (1996), Wales (1997), Apulia and Corsica (2000) we took several thousands of pictures and collected a lot of information about local stone circles, dolmens and standing stones. After joining the Internet community - in 1995 - we decided to share the knowledge gained by our experience in those countries. Thus, in February 1996 we started the Stone Pages: the very first online guide about European megalithic sites and other ancient monuments.
Since then, this website has grown to over 2,000 pages and we set the standards for many other websites devoted to the same subject. For instance, we broke the ground with the first CD-ROM devoted to megalithic monuments (for SCRAN in 1998); we coined the term ambience to describe an ancient site by its location on an environment presumably close to the original (in 1996); we pioneered the use of QTVR 360-degree panoramic movies to show prehistoric sites (since 1997); and our open forum has been the first of its kind for all users interested in European megalithic monuments (since 2000).

We live with Alice (our daughter born in 2002) in Trevignano Romano, a peaceful village on the lake of Bracciano, about half an hour drive north of Rome (Italy). Our hopes and resources are now directed to a new project: Cartabianca, a publishing company specialized in history, archaeology, travel and technical guides. But we don't forget we are "megalithomaniacs", so in the future we'd like to build new Stone Pages sections about Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Malta and Valcamonica (Italy).

Paola was born in Milan (Italy) in 1964. She is a journalist. She has worked in magazines dealing with travel, young people and popular science. Since 1991 she has worked in the monthly magazine Airone, an Italian kind of National Geographic; later she has worked mainly on the Internet, writing reviews, creating and maintaining Web sites. Among her interests: reading books, socializing and cooking spaghetti, gnocchi, fettuccine... all kinds of pasta! Paola is fond of cetaceans, particularly dolphins.

Diego was born in Rome (Italy) in 1963 and he has worked as a freelance journalist for over 20 years, writing more than 2000 articles for several Italian magazines dealing with electronic music, computers, photography, video and astronomy. He is also a webmaster and a photographer. His photographs have been published on the cover of music, video and astronomy magazines, on the NASA website and on several books. One of his Stones of Stenness images is on the cover of Van Morrison's The Philosopher's Stone. He is also a QTVR expert and he worked for FIAT and Alfa Romeo, making virtual movies of FIAT Multipla and Alfa 166. A few years ago he made some professional videos on Turkey and Portugal. Diego plays guitar and keyboards and he has a small recording studio (in his bedroom!). He has little time to play. But he had the chance to work for Peter Gabriel's latest live album (Secret World Live), recording computer data from electronic instruments. Diego is fond of nocturnal birds, particularly nightjars, and he has published some research papers on this odd species.

Tuesday, the 8th of June 2004, the planet Venus will pass in front of the sun. A lot of people world-wide will see a little black spot moving in front of the sun, this progression is called "a transit", which will occur for more than five hours. This phenomenon is very rare, it occurs twice : once every 122 years, and once 8 years later.

Two distant observers will not see exactly the same position of Venus in front of the sun, this is the effect of perspective. This effect allows measuring the distance between Earth and Sun or " the astronomical unit".

Carpathian Adventure
by Tim Hunt

This blog is a record of my adventures in the Romanian Carpathian mountains. I and my colleague Phil Grayson set off to photograph the onset of winter in this beautiful wildlife park, but were caught out by the atrocious weather. We were separated and I spent many days and nights alone on the mountain, starving and freezing. Thankfully I came out of it: you can read all about it here and see some of the pictures. I won't post any more to this blog since the adventure is, thank God, over.

Stonehenge Aotearoa

For millennia people have gazed in awe at Stonehenge, often totally unaware of how structures such as this were used. Stonehenge Aotearoa will be a full-scale working adaptation of Stonehenge that is intended to inspire New Zealanders young and old, to explore and experience for themselves how technologies of ancient times were used, and still can be used, to give practical and detailed information on the seasons, time and navigation.

why doesn't everyone build their own computer?

More and more people these days are building their own computers. Not only does it cost less to put together a machine yourself, but you also get to avoid the ignorant, shifty-eyed salesmen in PC World who only exist to pressure you into buying a worthless extended warranty. So why doesn't everyone build their own computer?

Space Art encourages us to dream...of what is and what may be. Since the dawn of time, humans have gazed upon the sky with awe and curiosity, imagining what may be found in the vastness around them. The universe is not black and white. Beyond the reaches of our atmosphere lie splashes of wondrous color against the inky backdrop of space. It is fitting that these things be represented in fantastic artistic images. Space artists bring these dreams to life and we believe some of the best examples of this work are right here.

Solar Voyager hosts one of the largest collections of Space Art on the internet today. We are pleased to bring you a diverse assortment of work from a variety of talented artists. New additions to the site are made on a regular basis. This is a non-profit gallery, created for the sole purpose of displaying these incredible astronomical works of art in an organized and attractive fashion.

We hope you enjoy Solar Voyager - feel free to contact us with any questions, comments, etc. Please refer to the FAQ for more information.


Submissions

We feature space art from both amateurs and professionals alike. Our Member's Gallery (located in the forum area) is open for all site members to submit and display their work. It is an excellent place to receive comments and critiques from peers. We encourage everyone to get involved with this area; it is the driving-force behind the site. Even if you are not an artist, feel free to share your comments and insights about the images posted by others. This interaction allows everyone to improve and fosters a sense of community.

blogshares and the hidden link experiment

.


BlogShares is a simulated, fantasy stock market for weblogs where players invest fictional money to buy stocks and bonds in an artificial economy where attention is the commodity and weblogs are the companies. Weblogs, or blogs for short, are valued by their incoming links from other known blogs. In effect, links become the business deals in the simulation and players speculate on the fortunes of thousands of blogs by buying and selling shares. A whole host of options exist for advanced play including gifting shares, leveraged buy-outs, stock splits, additional share issues, market and player bonds.

the hidden links chapter : "naughty games by alter ego"

bought some shares and linked to see the effects on value.
some links were put nearly invisible on some pages, curious if someone would detect them, added secret message too.
good detective is Elektra

hope to make good surprise by offering 1250 shares if decide to play along, and many sorry's for the shock
