Bella-Haven is Live

[GravitySucks]

Why?

It launched Friday morning the 6th at 1:21 am EDT.

The video showing the radar blips says May 5th, Approximately 8 am, but doesn't list a time zone.

Let's do the time warp again?

The last one sapped a lot of my strength, but if the world needs us, ready the capsule.

Maybe it's time for my Tachyon accelerator to create wormholes.

What?   Did I miss the meeting?

Most definitely!  Time is fleeting.

Never was there the first time?

It's been suggested to start a new thread, for astrologically compatibility happenings.. I think you'd get more action on this thread.
..yikes... That wasn't my intention .. Participation would be greater on Bella-Haven?  Geez you know what I mean!
The Bellas like to dream about cosmic things.. just universally saying

Mercury transit a rare celestial event, but don't look directly at it: Bob McDonald.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/mercury-transit-1.3569912

The planet Mercury will pass in front of the sun on Monday in a rare event called a transit. It will be visible across Canada during the day, but don't look directly at the sun with your eyes to see it.

Guess I'll head on to bed early.  Good night my friends.  See you tomorrow.

[WhiteCrow]

Oh yeah, huh.  We'd better tell WhiteCrow we're gonna need more hoodies! 

At last my Artist friend is finished with the White Crow for the Hoodies.. Lunch meeting tomorrow with him and staff to discuss his recommendations for embroidery and printing the different parts of his drawing. I wanted it all to be embroided, he thinks a combination of two would be better.
I'll defer to his judgement. 

I'll get extras made too, set costs and all ..volume discounts,  etc.

Yep.. Crow knows .. Venus and Mars

I guess I missed my chance to support your thread serenity. Sorry about that. I was probably still trying to sleep off my turkey OD.

The Isles lost today and were eliminated. So I shaved off my playoff beard and now I look like all the other Canadians who don't have a team in the playoffs!

I found the site he was getting the data from. The times are EDT. So most definitely it was not related to Falcon 9 or JSAT B and is almost certainly a meteor. Its not based on a radar reflection of the object itself, but rather is reading the ionized disruption in the wake of an object at a fixed frequency.

From the site: "When a meteor enters the Earth's upper atmosphere it excites the air molecules, producing a streak of light and leaving a trail of ionization (an elongated paraboloid) behind it tens of kilometers long. This ionized trail may persist for less than 1 second up to several minutes, occasionally. Occurring at heights of about 85 to 105 km (50-65 miles), this trail is capable of reflecting radio waves from transmitters located on the ground, similar to light reflecting from a mirrored surface. Meteor radio wave reflections are also called meteor echoes, or pings." (Italics added)

From the site: http://www.livemeteors.com/

In practical terms, this is the same kind of ionization that blocks radio transmissions during the peak of reentry heating on spacecraft. The hypersonic returns in the upper atmosphere create an ionized pocket or bubble that block radio from being transmitted and received.

My major celestial events..

When a kid about 11 or 12 years old, during a warm summer night, sitting on a picnic table in a Neighbor's back yard, enjoying our youth with the other kids. While taking a break from hide and seek,  laughing about who found who, witnessed an amazing sun colored very large meteorite flaming across about 1/2 of the horizon. It was very slow moving. Nothing like a shooting star. Had long tail of flame and white colors.
A much older girl, 3 years my senior, with sun colored long blong hair,  told me she loved me, I didn't have clue why she said such a thing.

When an adult, on a cold winter night, out snowmobiling, stopped for a smoke. A fairly large bright  emerald green colored meteorite, slowly flashed over about 1/8 of the horizon. An emerald jewel brighty shining in the deep black night.

When a much younger man, while competing in an ultra marathon bicycle race, crazy 2 to 4 day events, ride  until can't no more, then sleep for a few  hours in a ditch.  Riding far out in the country,  away from any city lights. Autum crystal clear cool night,  when the air seems to be  charged with extra oxygen.  The faint backddrop of the milky way was visible. Watched  while riding a  meteorite shower. Sometimes 2 or 3 would be visible at the same time. Hundreds of them over a hour or so. Wished on a lot of shooting stars  that night. Over the course of a life time "made" many of them come true, still dreaming about the other ones,  Time is on my side until I have no more ...

"cause I got the real love"

Love ALL

Today starting at 10:30 Eastern you can watch the transit of Mercury http://www.space.com/17933-nasa-television-webcasts-live-space-tv.html
Please don't try to watch through a telescope without adequate filters or with the naked eye. could burn those pretty little eyes.

Sorry about the Isles Peeve.  At least you could shave  before it gets too hot here.  Go Jays.

Wonderful, vivid description, WhiteCrow. Here is to many more years of celestial events, including next summer's solar eclipse.
