Strange Universe: August 14, 2011 : SETI
http://ihatetheverse.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-14-2011-seti.html
Sunday, August 14, 2011. August 14, 2011 : SETI. There are great challenges in searching across the cosmos for a first transmission that could be characterized as intelligent, since its direction, spectrum and method of communication are all unknown beforehand. SETI projects necessarily make assumptions to narrow the search, the foremost being that electromagnetic radiation would be a medium of communication for advanced extraterrestrial life.

Black holes of stellar mass are expected to form when heavy stars collapse in a supernova at the end of their life cycle. After a black hole has formed it can continue to grow by absorbing mass from its surroundings. By absorbing other stars and merging with other black holes, supermassive black holes of millions of solar masses may be formed. Posted by Adam Hake. Cruithne...

The Man in the Moon is an imaginary figure resembling a human face, head or body, that observers from some cultural backgrounds typically perceive in the bright disc of the full moon. The figure is composed of the dark areas (the lunar. Maria, or "seas") and lighter highlands of the lunar surface. One medieval Christian tradition claims him as Cain, the Wanderer, forever doomed to circle the Earth. John Lyly says in the prologue to his. In Norse...

Strange Universe: End?
http://ihatetheverse.blogspot.com/2012/06/end.html
Sunday, June 10, 2012. So you've certainly noticed by now that I haven't posted anything in nearly a year. That's probably because I've completely forgotten about these blogs. I should have posted a note like this earlier, but I kept putting it off. I'm no longer updating the blogs. I won't be even in the foreseeable future. I may come back to it. I may not. I did enjoy doing it for a while, but then it started to feel like a second job and drained the fun out of it. Posted by Adam Hake.

Sunday, August 7, 2011. August 7, 2011 : Phineas Gage - Impalement and Mental Change. On September 13, 1848, 25-year-old Gage was foreman of a work gang blasting rock while preparing the roadbed for the Rutland and Burlington Railroad outside the town of Cavendish, Vermont.

Possibly because the sand was omitted, around 4:30 PM:.

Strange Planet: August 7, 2011 : Fog Bow
http://ihatetheplanet.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-7-2011-fog-bow.html
Sunday, August 7, 2011. August 7, 2011 : Fog Bow. A fog bow is a similar phenomenon to a rainbow, however, as its name suggests, it appears as a bow in fog rather than rain. Because of the very small size of water droplets that cause fog—smaller than 0.05 millimetres (0.0020 in)—the fog bow has only very weak colors, with a red outer edge and bluish inner. In many cases when the droplets are very small, fog bows appear white, and are therefore sometimes called. Posted by Adam Hake. August 14, 2011 : Gian...
