4 JAN, 2006 - 1200 CST Want to take a mind-blowing trip without using drugs? Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very interesting page on their site. It begins as a view of the Milky Way Galaxy viewed from a distance of 10 million light years and then zooms in towards Earth in powers of ten. If ever there was a witness to creation, these folks have captured it for our viewing pleasure! Once you click on the site, the software does all the work. At the end it says "AUTO"... click on that and review the process in reverse! 73 - Dick, W9GIG ========================================================================= Secret Worlds: The Universe Within View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons. http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/index.html

1 JAN, 2006 - 1650 CST I don't get excited about the temperature this time of the year - excess heat in the summer is more of a problem. December started out way below normal and we had an 8 inch snow cover by the 20th. Then the jet stream flopped around again and we have been 10 to 20 degrees above our normal high of 30. The concrete ice rink in the park in back of our house has very little slushy ice left. The snow is reduced to scattered remnants left from snow removal activities and that will probably be gone before cold weather returns next weekend. What concerns me is that 2005 was the fifth driest year on record in northern Illinois. The NWS says we are still in an extreme drought. We had less than half our normal moisture in DEC. Unless we have a really wet winter and spring, we could end up with an even drier 2006. HNY - Dick, W9GIG
