Arnie, you are amazing. I really think you need to write a book of all your homemade, homeopathic remedies!

Hope you had a good time! I love our planetarium. We have that and our Science Center. When I was really young the planetarium WAS our science center, but the science center of today came along a bit later when I was an adolescent. My dad and I went to the planetarium a lot, so I have a soft spot for the place. Plus, it's super cool looking.

Oh lord Zeke, I wish he wouldn't go. You must be so worried.

Is your son considering taking the semester off?

I'd buy it!

I would too! And I'd help market it!

Hey Sim and KI! He's definitely considering staying here in the states. In the event he does fly back, I've ordered some colloidal silver spray and N95 masks.

Unfortunately, there aren't alot of eating options there so everyone ends up ordering delivery to the dorms. But you don't know who's been coughing over your food or what the prep conditions are at these places. I don't think they have much (if any) food safety regulation.

Oh lord that's a good point about the food. I sure hope he decides to stay put.

Hope no one has posted on this. This is the first I'm reading of it.


Burst of Gravitational Waves Hit Earth But Scientists Don’t Know Where It’s Coming From

On January 14, astronomers detected a split-second burst of gravitational waves … but researchers don’t know where this burst came from.

Gravitational waves can be caused by the collision of massive objects, such as two black holes or two neutron stars as shown in a new scientific publication. However, these impact-generated bursts are typically longer and occur as a series of waves that change in frequency over time. In contrast, the new signal is a burst and not a series of waves.

It’s also possible that this signal was just noise in the data from the detector. However, this burst of gravitational waves was found by all three LIGO detectors: one in Washington state, one in Louisiana and one in Italy. So it’s a genuine signal.

In addition to this, on the website's FB page for this event I noticed this comment:

"What I caught on Allsky at time of wave hit" (video).

One of the virus threads had a post that the Senate is going to be briefed by health officials on the coronavirus.

Went back looking for the posts about the KS legislators being taken - without advance warning - to a briefing by DHS. It was mentioned by Arnie or someone about the time that the big EQ hit Hutchinson. But what if it wasn't about the EQ - it was a briefing about what was coming down the road with the virus?? It was already active in Wuhan about that time, but hadn't made the news here. Someone said that it would be interesting to know if the leaders of other states had been pulled in for an emergency briefing. I'd bet that they did a better job of not broadcasting what was going on in other states. I'm not sure I would even begin to know how to search for that kind of information, but it sure makes you wonder. Our gov't keeps such a close eye on everything related to China, I can't help but believe our intel would have seen this happening last week. Makes sense tht if the feds are considering some kind of containment - restrictions on travel, gatherings, etc - that they would be contacting state leadership in advance.

Oh well, I may just be reaching...I'm a died-in-the-wool conspiracy theory person.

Atmospheric electricity is still too excited due to the critical planetary and lunar geometry on the 20th and 21st. Larger seismic activity is possible tonight or tomorrow. [link to ditrianum.org]

We did, thanks.

Our planetarium is at the local university. It started off kinda small years ago, but has steadily gotten nicer as time passes. We go once every couple of months. My lovely wife works at the University and is one of the ones in charge of buying the shows that they show at the planetarium. We get the inside scoop on what is coming before hand.

Our doesn't look nearly as cool as the one you showed...just a building with an observation platform on top.

One of the 3 USA firefighters killed in that plane crash in Australia, is from Great Falls Montana. From our National Guard unit!

That's cool about your wife's job! Is there an admission fee to get into your planetarium? Both of ours are free, but some special exhibits or features, like going to see whatever's on the IMAX at the science center, will have a fee. St. Louis is unique in that we have a ton of major attractions that are all free. Zoo, art museum, history museum, Arch (and museum), etc... It's a wonderful thing, and very rare. It allows people of all income levels to experience awesome stuff! Even at the art museum they have Free Fridays all day/night, which means you don't have to pay for the special exhibit. I've seen some great ones, and always for free!

Aww man, that's too bad. Bless that man for giving his life to help the people of Australia. What a hero.

I think he was the pilot! Very sad!

Check out the dates when the CDC KNEW there was going to be problems with the virus!!! All the way back to early January, becasue this mess has been cranking up in Wuhan since in December!!! Guarantee that DHS has been active to prepare for whatever pandemic precautions have to be taken.
So how do they take steps to isolate possible patients when they are now admitting that some of the Chinese patients didn't even show fever??? That's what they are checking for at the 5 US airports that have lots of incoming flights from China. But not everyone infected will have fever...so they HAVE to know that LOTS of infected people are going to make it off the planes. And they are very contagious, even without symptoms.

You can bet that DHS has plans in place already. Guaranteed.

Sorry. I'm a dufus at bringing quotes over from other threads. Don't know if this will work either.
