Posted on September 30, 2012 | Leave a comment

Is blogging a trending event or is it a passing fancy now? I have been on Facebook . I like Facebook for reconnecting with longtime friends that I have lost touch with in pre-Internet time. Thank you Facebook.

Blogging may still be valuable for journaling and mass communication that targets specific audiences. So, although I have been gone, due to lack of time for posting,

I am back. I will journal what events have been taking my time and what I have been soing this past year.

Jupiter News from NASA

Sept. 15, 2010:

Been outside at midnight lately? Jupiter is approaching Earth for the closest encounter between the two planets in more than a decade–and it is dazzling.

The night of closest approach is Sept. 20-21st. This is also called "the night of opposition" because Jupiter will be opposite the sun, rising at sunset and soaring overhead. Only the Moon will be brighter.
