Stargazers looking up as darkness falls on Monday (Jan. 21) will notice an eye catching pairing-off between two of the brightest objects in the nighttime sky, weather permitting.
The moon, appearing as a waxing gibbous phase, 78 percent illuminated, will appear to stand close below a very bright, non-twinkling, silvery “star.” But it won’t be a star that will be keeping the moon company on America’s Inauguration Night, but the largest planet in our solar system: Jupiter.

the evening of Jan. 21, 2013. This diagram shows the appearance of the pair
from Jan. 20 to Jan. 23rd, looking south, high in the evening sky.

It sounds like the bizzare script of a Hollywood B-movie.
In a parallel universe the Nazis have won the war, Adolf Hitler moves to LA where he mingles with the stars of the silver screen while running his evil empire from a luxurious ranch deep in the LA hills.
But during the 1930s, American sympathizers were so confident this exact scenario was actually going happen they spent millions building a deluxe compound ready for their fuhrer’s imminent arrival.

A little long but very beautiful if you have time.
The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he’s from Canada. He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies we hold our hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist. Enjoy!
You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite! I would have those kites so tangled up, you could never get them separated again! And of course, make sure the volume is turned up because the music is wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the kits. Beautiful.

Which is our universe’s oldest star? Astronomers now say the honor may go to HD 140283, a gassy giant that’s celebrated an estimated 13.2 billion birthdays, give or take a couple hundred million, according to the January 2013 issue of Nature.
“We believe this star is the oldest known in the Universe with a well determined age,” Howard Bond, an astronomer at Pennsylvania State University, told Nature. The finding was announced January 10, at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Long Beach, Calif.

The oldest known star in the universe is ‘HD 140283,’ estimated to be 13.2 billion years old (not pictured).

As news of the death of respected activist and developer Aaron Swartz rippled across the Internet yesterday, admirers kick-started what would become a mass demonstration honoring his commitment to open access to information.
Swartz, who committed suicide Friday, faced charges for attempting to publicly release academic papers from the digital library JSTOR, which potentially could have sent him to jail for more than 35 years if he were convicted. In a statement, Swartz’s family blamed the intensity of the charges for contributing in part to his suicide.

Iamus is one of those rare musicians who’s attained global stardom without the outsized ego or sense of entitlement that often goes hand-in-hand with fame.
Iamus is also one of those rare musicians who is an algorithm.
The computer-composer, created by a research team led by Francisco Vico at Spain’s University of Malaga, has released an album, composed symphonies performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and “written” over 1 billion songs in every genre imaginable. (Vico says rock and funk were among the most difficult styles for Iamus to master).

Brooke Greenberg was born prematurely in Baltimore in 1993. She had an unusual organ system and disfigured hips. Almost no doctors expected her to live more than a year.
What no one expected, however, was that at 18, Brooke would be the only known adult to still be physically and mentally 11 months old. She has shown no signs of aging and the only body parts that have grown at a normal rate
are her fingernails and hair.
She has trouble digesting and needs to be fed through a tube.
Despite this, she is still a happy infant and enjoys the same activities most babies do. Doctors have found that her body is growing at different rates.

When he ended his life last year by shooting himself in the chest, Junior Seau had a degenerative brain disease often linked with repeated blows to the head.
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health said Thursday the former NFL star’s abnormalities are consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
The hard-hitting linebacker played for 20 NFL seasons with San Diego, Miami and New England before retiring in 2009. He died at age 43 of a self-inflicted gunshot in May, and his family requested the analysis of his brain.
