First Image Of Solar Eclipse In Another Star System
Every 27 years, the star Epsilon Aurigae is swallowed up, and scientists had no idea why. Now, using a special technique that produces images 140 times clearer than the Hubble Space Telescope, we've finally gotten images of it happening.
Researchers at the University of St. Andrews were able to combine light from four different telescopes, to produce the super-clear images of the Epsilon Aurigae eclipse.
Cool. Also amazing that they could do this.
I totally want to see Treme, too.
Simon described as being more like "Northern Exposure" than some of his other work, which somehow makes me very happy.
I also want to see the Steve Carrell/Tina Fey couple comedy, but I'm not so sure this is a cultural phenomenon.
Someone should buy this place [link] it is just down the street from us
That's close to San Antonio, I used to live here.

Not sure if anyone would be interested or a match for these jobs, but Zipcar has several positions posted in Cambridge. Also Container Stores are supposed to be a great company to work for. I will probably be applying with them once we move and I saw they have some store positions open in other states as well.
That's practically next door in Texas.
Culturally I am looking forward to the return of some TV: Leverage, White Collar, Eureka, and the season ending of Supernatural (in that Oh, no, don't end! way). And movies:
Iron Man 2, The Losers,
maybe
Inception.
Ah, tearjerkers. I thought I got started with a list, but it's so incomplete. Apparently I like sad fiction.
Hmm. Lady one cube over just said she "didn't have the spoons" to do something. I've never heard that other than on LJ/blogging.
Are there any books we're looking forward to?
I can't get involved with new books, since I like to read (a) paperbacks (b) from the library. I am currently reading Sookie Stackhouse books and think there's a Jack Reacher I haven't read yet...
Oh - another thing on the horizon is taking both kids to see Iron Maiden. Still a surprise for them - CJ has only been to one live concert, so this is going to be FUN!!!
