Bon Courage Damienici aussi ce matin , ils ont quadrillé notre ciel ...Mtnt , à chaque X qu'ils le font ,je sais qu'il se passe quelque chose et systématiquement ,je présume que tu l'auras aussi remarqué ,cela correspond à une future activité solairetemporairement plus importante ...en attendant ,à vos télescopes car voiciles dernières nouvelles de la pluie de météoresannoncée : THE <br /> GEMINID METEOR SHOWER IS UNDERWAY: <br /> International observers are counting <br /> as many as 50 meteors per hour as Earth plunges <br /> into a stream of debris from rock <br /> comet 3200 Phaethon. Rates could double, or <br /> more, when the shower peaks on Dec. 13th and 14th. <br /> The best time to look is during the dark hours before <br /> dawn on Thursday and Friday. [sky <br /> map] [meteor <br /> radar] [video]<br /> This morning, Dec. 13th, Bill Metallinos <br /> caught a shadow-casting Geminid fireball streaking <br /> over Corfu, Greece:<br /> <br /> "I was setting up my telescope <br /> when suddenly there appeared a fireball so bright <br /> it made my heart beat like crazy," says Metallinos. <br /> "Spectacular moment!" <br /> NASA says that another <br /> meteor shower, appearing for the first time <br /> this year, could add to the count of Geminids on <br /> Dec. 13th. The source of the new shower is Comet <br /> 46P/Wirtanen. Veteran sky watcher Doug Zubenel of <br /> Kansas sends this report of a possible sighting: <br /> "I believe this shower is real, because at <br /> ~ 19:30 hrs, CST on Dec. 10th, I saw a very slow-moving <br /> meteor nearly as bright as Jupiter enter the frame <br /> of my windshield as I was driving east, and it was <br /> in Taurus moving toward the Orion/Gemini border. <br /> It's path led back through the radiant in Pisces. <br /> While this obviously does not prove it was from <br /> Wirtanen, it certainly seems likely."<br /> Realtime <br /> Geminid Photo Gallery<br /> ARCTIC <br /> LIGHTS: There was no geomagnetic <br /> storm last night, but around the Arctic Circle a <br /> geomagnetic storm is not required to produce auroras. <br /> Last night, photographer Mike Theiss was traveling <br /> along the Dempster Highway just north of Eagle Plains, <br /> Canada, when the sky erupted in color. The <br /> sign in the foreground marks the latitude of <br /> the Arctic Circle:<br /> <br /> "It was insane," he says. <br /> "Lights danced all over the sky for 3 hours! <br /> I've never seen anything like it."<br /> Theiss was located beneath Earth's <br /> auroral <br /> oval, a doughnut of light circling the North <br /> Pole where auroras sputter on and off even when <br /> geomagnetic storms are at low ebb. Displays like <br /> this could occur on any night of northern winter. <br /> Such auroras are all we can expect for the next <br /> few days as NOAA forecasters estimate a mere 5% <br /> chance of geomagnetic storms.

plus sérieusement, cela me désole que tes conditions de travail soient aussi pénible !Et si ton chef ou ton patron te savait plus intelligent et/ou cultivé que lui, il risquerait de te faire "payer" ton affront ! C'est généralement ce qu'il se passe, souvent. Bientôt 18° ? Chouette, grillades pour Noël alors  ?Gros bisous et de belles pensées chaleureuses et lumineuses.
