TIMES, TIME, AND HALF A TIME. A HISTORY OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

Comments on a cultural reality between past and future.

This blog describes Metatime in the Posthuman experience, drawn from Sir Isaac Newton's secret work on the future end of times, a tract in which he described Histories of Things to Come. His hidden papers on the occult were auctioned to two private buyers in 1936 at Sotheby's, but were not available for public research until the 1990s.

Look Skyward: Astronomy Guide for November 2012


The Leonids are coming to night skies later this month. A moonless view should make a good show. Image Source: NASA.

See below the jump for this month's amateur stargazing guide, prepared by Web masters of the official site of the Hubble telescope. This video guide is mainly for the northern hemisphere. For more precise information, try the wonderful, free open source planetarium download, Stellarium. It allows you to enter your coordinates anywhere on earth, and will generate a local stargazing guide according to any date you enter.

There is a total solar eclipse visible from Australia and New Zealand on 13-14 November.

The Leonid meteor shower is coming this month, which peaks on 16-18 November. The Leonids are mainly visible in both hemispheres.

The video also mentions a penumbral lunar eclipse on 28 November visible to Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, and most of Asia.
