This is not really space “weather” but more like a close visual encounter.  Tonight’s full moon and the planet Jupiter will be only 6 degrees apart.

I am going to try and snatch a peek at this event. I need to be reminded that all the bullshit crap I am going right now really means nothing to the universe. So if you are feeling that way too…go out and snatch a peek for yourself.

Its a sad day for star gazers cause Jack Horkheimer, our favorite star gazer who rocked the universe in a members only jacket for many years, has gone up to that supernova in the sky.

If its clear out this evening, lift your head up and take a peek at some stars for Jack.

Ever wonder what our planet and its moon look like from 114 million miles away?

NASA’s Messenger space craft snapped this photo of our hood on its way to Mercury. Messenger is actually flying around searching for small rocky asteroids flying around the I-Sun known as “vulcanoids”. It is very humbling to see our planet from so far away, but it is comforting to see that their are no toll booths hovering in space on the highway back. Imagine the fee on that take ticket…

Ever have something minor happen to you, which seams major at the time and causes a volcanic like explosion of emotion and useless anger? Well the I-Sun feels that way too, and today it blew it’s backside off in a class C-4 solar flare. This was due perhaps to the magnetic field conversion of two sunspots. Or maybe the I-Sun just lost it because of the slow old lady in the checkout line, or the asshole comet that didn’t signal.

The next solar wind stream is scheduled to hit the I-Earth sometime around the 24th, so back up your files cause the I-Sun appears to have a major cause of the ass.
