Imagine a future when space travel is common-place and you can visit the planets. What will be the top tourist sights in our solar system? (This is an activity I like to have my students think about as they get near the end of my introduction to the planets class.)
If you are an astronomy fan, play the game yourself. What would you pick for those once-in-a-lifetime sights that future travelers may want to visit and photograph on a honeymoon trip or graduation journey?
For those of you who happen to be in Northern California on Saturday evening, June 20th, I will be revealing my favorites in a free public talk on Mt. Tamalpais just north of San Francisco. (My first-ever outdoor lecture with slides!)
For those elsewhere, I'll give you a sample. Some of my favorite stops include the 4,000-mile lava channel on Venus (always a good planet for a hot time), the towering Mount
Olympus volcano on Mars (three times the height of Mount Everest), the
awesome Verona Cliffs on the moon Miranda (which are the tallest “lover’s
leap” in the solar system), and the recently discovered steam geysers on
Saturn’s intriguing moon Enceladus (nicknamed “Cold Faithful.”)
After the lecture, there will be a laser-guided tour of the
night sky by Paul Salazar and stargazing through the telescopes of the San
Francisco Amateur Astronomers. This is an OUTDOOR venue, so we ask that people
dress appropriately (it can get cold), and bring a flashlight to help find your
way to and from the parking lots.

Admission is free, but seating
is on a first-come, first-served basis.

If it looks like rain, please call the Mt. Tam hotline at
415-455-5370, after 4 pm. Since this is an outdoor event, it gets
canceled if it is raining.

Want to know how to get over a broken heart? A break up can feel like the end of the world, but if you really do want to move on, here’s a complete guide on how to deal with a broken heart.My name is Mimi Bieber, i live in Tx,USA. since 6 months I have witness what is called heart broke. my boyfriend that promised me marriage failed me and impregnate me and leave,he dump me,he stop calling" he stop picking my calls,and he no longer respond to me. I have be looking for solution,I fall into the hands of fake spell caster,they rough me off and took my money without help.I have cried,I have weep"and tears runs out of eyes. The silentness in my heart brought me to the deepest path of failure that I lost my job. Crying all day,because of my life was lonely. So thanks to Dr Brave that came into my life and brought me the greatest joy that was lost. I saw his mail while browsing and I contact and tell him what I am passing through with no doubt because what saw about him,was enough to believe. And I was given words of solution on what to do. I can't really help thinking about it I have tried to see what I can do, I manage to provide him some materials and he help me with the rest,after casting the spell, 12hrs later he came with rose on his hand and I was even about going out,i saw him in front of my door when he sees me he knee and said he is dying I should forgive him and accept him back he was crying,I can't wait to let him finish I quickly crab him and kiss him, just then" he said he is restless without me, just as the prophet has said he will be. He brought out a ring and put it on my hand. Our wedding day was scheduled,1week after we got married. today makes it 2weeks and we are living happily I don't know how to praise him enough, he has done me a thing I can never forget. And I can't really share to myself alone, I want y'all to help me praise him because if it is wasn't for him I already plan of committing suicide.
