This research opens up new and interesting ways to look at the composition and mineral wealth of the solar system. As for me, I am working on the development of my Hydrogen Integral Squeezing System (HISS) in order to produce more helium – because the world needs more helium.

This blog is Gunsmoke and KNITTING, so to celebrate the birth of Star Trek, here is a knitting project for your little Klingon. And speaking of Klingons, did you know that Michael Dorn has a role on Castle? (If you are interested, there are a lot of links in the previous sentence.)
See more like this on All She Wants to do is Knit.

Thanks to HMS Defiant for this link to Comet PANSTARRS that will be visible soon in the northern hemisphere. Visibility here will depend a lot on the weather, but I will be looking for it.
