The United States stands at this time at the pinnacle of world power. It is a solemn moment for the American democracy. For with this primacy in power is also joined an awe-inspiring accountability to the future. As you look around you, you must feel not only the sense of duty done, but also you must feel anxiety lest you fall below the level of achievement. Opportunity is here now, clear and shining, for both our countries. To reject it or ignore it or fritter it away will bring upon us all the long reproaches of the aftertime.

No one can deny the amazing beauty and abilities of the big cats of the world. Because so many are sought after for their fur, their numbers are in decline. This is a list (which is by no means exhaustive) of 10 amazing big cats. The ten cats were selected because they either have a creative way of hunting, an amazing coat pattern, or are simply awe inspiring.

Bobcat

The bobcat is a North American member of the big cat family.

Ocelot

The ocelot is famous for looking extremely similar to a domestic cat.

Caracal Cat

The caracal cat is also known as the Persian or African Lynx.

Jaguarundi

The Jaguarundi is found in Mexico and Central and South America.

Marbled Cat

Almost matching the size of a domesticated cat, the marbled cat is one of the smallest of the big cats.

Jaguar

The jaguar is the third largest big cat in the world.

Snow Leopard

The snow leopard lives in the mountain ranges of Central Asia, Afghanistan and many other parts of the world.

Lion

Cheetah

Tiger

Quantum Computing- Faster and Faster

MIT probe could aid quantum computing

Spectroscopy, with amplitude

MIT researchers may have found a way to overcome a key barrier to the advent of super-fast quantum computers, which could be powerful tools for applications such as code breaking.

One approach involves superconducting devices that, when cooled to temperatures of nearly absolute zero (-459 degrees F, -273 degrees C), can be made to behave like artificial atoms -- nanometer-scale "boxes" in which the electrons are forced to exist at specific, discrete energy levels (picture an elevator that can stop at the floors of a building but not in between). But traditional scientific techniques for characterizing -- and therefore better understanding -- atoms and molecules do not necessarily translate easily to artificial atoms, said William Oliver of MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Analog Device Technology Group and MIT's Research Laboratory for Electronics (RLE).

Guy Films Space Shuttle Launch from Passing Airliner

[Video]

Watching a space shuttle launch from the ground is undoubtedly very awe inspiring, but this video of a launch takes the biscuit: It's filmed from thousands of feet in the air. A lucky guy managed to film a shuttle rocketing off the ground (possibly STS-124) from inside a passing Air Canada airliner. It's less fire, smoke and thunder than a sea-level view, more "Holy crap, look how fast it goes!" Check it out... you may be as amazed as it sounds like he was. [PointNiner]

clipper's remarks: Carl Sagan on a picture of Earth from 4 billion miles away. Pretty awe inspiring.

Clip Source: www.futilitycloset.com

Earth seen from 4 billion miles away, photographed by Voyager 1 on June 6, 1990.

Of the "pale blue dot," astronomer Carl Sagan said, "That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

Ayers Rock

Clip Source: www.wayfaring.info

Situated in Kata Tjuta National Park, it is the world’s largest monolith

Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock) is a large rock formation in central Australia, in the Northern Territory. There is something totally awe-inspiring about Uluru.

A huge monolith, 862.5 metres above sea level, 1395 km south of Darwin and 465 km south west of Alice Springs, rising out of the desert. Uluru, which means ‘great pebble’ in the Aboriginal language. Uluru is a 3.6km-long rising 348 metres above the surrounding countryside. It has an area of 3.33 sq. km and a circumference of 9.4 km.

Uluru is notable for its quality of changing colour as the different light strikes it at different times of the day and year, with sunset a particularly remarkable sight. It is made of sandstone infused with minerals like feldspar (Arkosic sandstone) that cause it to give off a red glow at sunrise and sunset.

It is sacred to the Aborigines and has many storied springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings.

Deep Sky web site with star maps and databases

clipper's remarks: Lots of great info and pics on deep sky observing, including maps you can print.

Clip Source: www.uv.es

Welcome to this website, which is devoted to Deep Sky (DS) observing, my favorite hobby since long time ago, around 25 years. Deep Sky (or Deep Space) is the astronomy topic that covers all what is found beyond the Solar System, namely stars, stellar systems, dust and gas clouds, whose different manifestations ‑mainly nebulae, star clusters and galaxies‑ are not only physically amazing, but also awe‑inspiring sights to enjoy. The night sky is within reach of everybody. You just need binoculars, a dark place beyond the city lights, pristine skies, and a star atlas. I'd like to contribute to the promotion of deep sky observing offering you some articles and tools, the subjects I am more interested in:

In the frame on the top (if you don't see frames, click here), several tools, deep sky maps, articles, observation reports, pictures, tools and a deep space catalogue
