Time Lapse Skies Chile
Stunning Time Lapse Photography
Taken of the Skies over
The Atacama Desert
Chile
The Paranal Observatory uses a combination of huge telescopes to achieve this, and it is quite simply BRILLIANT.
The laser is used as a calibration device to allow for curvature of the Earth’s atmosphere and produce higher resolution images.

You’re Petting Your Cat
All Wrong!!
The more you know…
Jackson Galaxy explains why everything can seem to be going fine and cuddly when your cat suddenly turns mean.
Ever
had your cat snap at you or bite
while you were only petting her?
while you were only petting her?
It’s
not that she isn’t friendly or doesn’t love you, it’s because cats have a
certain way they enjoy being petted and it’s not the same way a dog
enjoys being petted!
Learn a few helpful tips and tricks from Jackson
and your cat will be on your lap in no time asking for more.
What he calls the “finger nose” actually works great for scratching too, if you go slow and are observant your cat will guide you to where they want skritches, for how long they want them, then where next, just like someone saying “Ohhh, up a little. A bit harder” and will love you for it!
Welcome to Cat Mojo!
Each week Jackson will share his thoughts on everything from cat-related issues like declawing and squirt gun diplomacy to his craziest behind the scene stories as a cat behaviorist. Come join the feline frenzy, feel the mojo, share your love of cats and delve deep into the mind of Jackson Galaxy.

Super Moon 2014
The super-moon occurs when a full moon lines
up with the Earth and the sun at a specific point in its orbit, called
the lunar perigee.
The summer of 2014 has been called the summer of supermoons, and for good reason. Skywatchers already got a chance to see one supermoon on July 12, and the second is August 10th.
The third will be Sept. 9, so mark your calendar!
August's moon is set to be the most "super" of them all -- because at a distance
of 221,765 miles (356,896 kilometers) from Earth, our satellite will
come closer this time than it did in July or will in September.
