last night...

Venus


i was looking at Venus thinking its Saturn
and when i checked the chart it was Venus with Pleiades (The Seven Sisters)



the above is an "infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope"

i took some pictures and they were pretty bad so i'm not going to put them here

Jupiter


we were getting thrashed by the aussies...
and i just couldnt watch match...
so i decided to go have a look at Jupiter...
and there it was... with three of its moons...
i called my bro and asked him to have a look...
and he was like "ko ko"... he's blind or something... 'cos it was there
and then after a few tries he goes "ahhh... dakka dakka"
i took a few pictures but they were all blur...



the above are Galileo's notes on observing Jupiter...

The Telescope


i borrowed a Meade ETX-90EC from a friend of mine... with attachments for my Canon EOS 350D Camera...

i had to take the telescope out of the house 'cos we dont have a balcony and the roof doesnt support my body weight...
there was a street dog (female) who had a few puppies and she was like "what're you doing"... and i was like "there dog... jupiter!!!!" and she goes "hmmmmm... thank you... just what me and my pups want..."

Subha Aluth Awruddak Wewa!!! or IS IT???

Subha Aluth Awruddak Wewa!!!
but i think the times are wrong

Aluth Awrudu dawns at 12.29pm on Saturday... and at 12.29pm the Sun is still at Pisces!!!! The Sun crosses over to Aries on April 19!!!

check the following animation..... (click the image to view the animation)

i used a software called stellarium to generate the chart


April 14
April 16April 17
April 18April 19
 


i think these astrologers should download a sky atlas software... the one i'm using is FREE... its open source...
'cos they must be using an ancient star chart!!! not realizing that there are deviations in spacetime over time!!!
PFFFTTT!!!!

if this is greek to you... in english this is what it says...


On April 14
Sun is CLEARLY at Pisces (Meena Rashiya) !!!!
if you look at the April 14 image you'll see that its inside the polygon connecting the stats of Pisces
The Sun crosses over to Aries (Mesha Rashiya) on April 19!!!
so all the other auspicious times the astrologers claim to be "Suba Nakath" are way off...
and i also hope they dont kick my ass!!!

and also the star charts!!!

Pi is wrong! It should be 2.Pi





Malinga ruled out of New Zealand game

CricInfo says:

Lasith Malinga may be out for up to two weeks

Lasith Malinga, the World Cup's equal leading wicket-taker, has been ruled out of Sri Lanka's match against New Zealand on Thursday with a grade two tear in his left ankle. With the recovery period set between seven and 14 days, Malinga will almost certainly miss the Australia game on in Grenada on Monday and perhaps even the Ireland clash there two days later.
