Moon and Venus 2:14

2d ago2:14

2:14

It’s hard to imagine a less comfortable place for life than the clouds of Venus. They’re made mainly of sulfuric acid – something you wouldn’t want to dip your fingers into. Yet studies in the past few years are raising at least the possibility that microscopic life could inhabit those clouds. There’s almost no way for anything to live on the surfa…

Stellar Pearls 2:14

3d ago2:14

2:14

Star clusters line up in the evening sky at this time of year like pearls on a necklace. As the sky gets nice and dark, they climb straight up the northeastern sky. They stretch from the bright star Capella, which is quite low; up through the “W” of Cassiopeia; then to Cygnus, the tail of the swan, high overhead. There’s a good line of clusters bec…

Daylight Saving Time 2:14

4d ago2:14

2:14

Many people gripe when we “spring forward” in March, at the start of Daylight Saving Time. And many studies suggest they have reason to complain. For a few days after the switch, there’s an uptick in car accidents, workplace injuries, and even heart attacks. And a recent study shows other consequences: more junk food and less time at the gym. Dayli…

Ninth Month 2:14

5d ago2:14

2:14

To look at a modern calendar, you’d think the early Romans couldn’t count very well. Today, for example, is the first day of November, the eleventh month of the year. But the name “November” means the ninth month. The name is a holdover from the earliest Roman calendar, in which the year began with March. The start of the year was moved to January …

Halloween Monsters 2:15

6d ago2:15

2:15

Some “monstrous” stars decorate the Halloween sky this evening. They’re in Perseus, which is low in the northeast at nightfall but passes directly overhead in the wee hours of the morning. The constellation is marked by a couple of ribbons of moderately bright stars. In mythology, Perseus rescued the princess Andromeda from a nasty sea monster. In …

Triangulum 2:15

7d ago2:15

2:15

Autumn’s evening skies offer some constellations with great names, intriguing back-stories, and beautiful star patterns. And then there’s Triangulum. As the name suggests, it consists of three main stars that form a triangle – an accurate if dull description of one of the smallest constellations. The triangle looks like a thin wedge. And there’s an…

Dark Skies II 2:15

8d ago2:15

2:15

The skies above most cities and towns are glowing. Artificial light sources beam a lot of their light into the sky. That makes it harder to see the heavens. And it can cause health problems, endanger wildlife, and waste both energy and money. One big contributor to the problem is streetlights. They can be improved by adding shielding that directs t…

Dark Skies 2:15

9d ago2:15

2:15

There are many reasons you might feel tired, irritable, and headachy when you wake up in the morning – illness, allergies, noisy neighbors. But you might also blame it on too much light – especially blue light. Looking at your phone or TV before bedtime can mess with your natural sleep cycle. Another source of trouble is outdoor lighting. Streetlam…

Seeing Stars II 2:15

10d ago2:15

2:15

When you walk from a brightly lit room into a dark one, you might stumble for a while until you can see what you’re doing. And the same thing happens when you step out under a dark night sky – it takes some time to see its full glory. When you enter the darkness, your eyes adapt in several ways. First, the pupil opens wider, letting in more light. …

Seeing Stars 2:15

11d ago2:15

2:15

Late-October evenings are great for skywatching. The nights are fairly long and cool. And there’s a lot to see. The Summer Triangle is still high in the west, and Taurus is climbing into view in the east. And this year, three planets are visible before midnight: Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter. One thing that’s not visible for the next few evenings is t…

The SS Vico does what all Oberth-class starships does, it inexplicably is destroyed doing basic space science. NEVER server on an Oberth, y'all. It doesn't help that it's also got Timothy on it, who's the kind of kid who assumes he'll doom a whole ship with the press of a button. Which he didn't do but still we had to hear him freak on it.

But on the plus side we've got a Soliton Wave Rider, which is a cool test ship that can go to warp without a warp core thanks to a wildly dangerous beam of energy casually shot at another planet... w…

the IKS Kruge is like other Klingon Birds-of-Prey, swoopy and glorious on the outside, and harsh concrete on the inside. Yuck. Do Klingons really sleep directly on metal? Captain K'Vada might claim so, but the son of Mogh seems to be enjoying lovely fur blankets every time we watch him canoodling. Despite this obvious lie, K'Vada is pretty clever, …

If you're Etana Jol of the Ktarians, you get sexy with Will Riker and use him to addict the Enterprise to the worst Occulus Quest VR game ever. And it would have worked too if it hadn't …

Gul Dolak isn't a Gul Dukat. He's not suave, definitely no ladies' man, and he's stuck in a boring assignment in Nowheresville in a remote border region. So when he has the chance to destroy a burning trash-heap of a Bajoran ship, he'll risk angering the flagship of the Federation to do so. Meanwhile, the Brothers Weems get all fanboyish over Ensig…

When you're in the Klingon Civil War, there's not a better ship in Gowron's fleet to serve on than the IKS Hegh'ta, where none other than the two hottest singles in the Empire, the Sons of Mogh, serve.

The only thing worse for a new officer in Starfleet than being assigned to an Oberth-class starship is being assigned to an Oberth-class starship that's being used as a retired admiral's bus.
