To see a bright comet with the naked eye or binocular in the night sky is one of the most impressive experiences of amateur astronomers. Under the current weather condidtion it could happen in March again. On June 6, 2011 Hawaii discovered Comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) moves in the direction of Sun he resides but deep in...
In another defining act of intellectual barbarism, “Islamist extremists” (term borrowed by AP – Activists, Islam fighters nor Islamists won’t do) in Mali destroyed a number of tombs in the ancient city of Timbuktu, which in the last year fell under control of a separatist insurgency.

In his research into the symbolic meaning of his patient’s dreams, conversations and paintings, Jung observed recurring mythical themes. Jung concluded that the constellations were originally inspired by projections of images created by the collective unconscious. Jung wrote “Astrology represents the sum of all the psychological...
Die Nasa wird ihren Etat für die Planetenforschung um zwanzig Prozent kürzen müssen, was besonders die zwei geplante Marsmissionen betrifft. Damit steigt die Nasa aus dem “prestigeträchtigen” Gemeinschaftsprojekt mit der europäischen Raumfahrtbehörde Esa aus, das einen Orbiter und einen Rover in den Jahren 2016 und 2018 vorsieht.
