Delay in posting today

The New Neo Posted on by

I was on the west coast for Thanksgiving, got delayed by the snowstorm coming home, and therefore had a big travel day today (actually, last night; I came on the redeye).

So I’m getting a late start today. But I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on the following…

Boy, it gets dark early in New England this time of year. And brrrrrr, it’s cold. And yet the recent snowfall is so beautiful.

  2. We also just returned today from Thanksgiving in Orlando. It is tough going from 80s, green everything, and 6pm dusk, to dark New England, grey trees, grey skies, 30s. And no, I don’t think the snow has any appeal whatsoever. SNOW is actually an acronym : Shit No One Wants

  3. Well…I’m looking at a high today of 30C…
    But I’d enjoy 4″ of snow…be fun watching folks here try to cope.

    And not only has Neo returned from her travels…Ms Edit Function is back as well. Welcome home the both of you.

  5. My hometown is Buffalo, NY, so I have to be honest and say that I always like the first snowfall of the year…
    And the LAST one. The rest of ’em, you can keep! 😉

  6. I like the first snow of the season. It’s beautiful! After that, I begin to get tired of it, especially if I am called upon to drive.

  8. Colleen Sheehan, American Mind (11/29/2019): Something to Say to the Sphinx — Remarks on James Madison’s vision for the Country

    (These remarks were delivered at the Claremont Institute Alumni Retreat and Salvatori Dinner on November 16, 2019, where Professor Sheehan received the Salvatori Award)

    Ryan asked me to talk this evening about James Madison’s vision for America and how he might confront the looming crisis of our time. The second part I can only guess at, of course, but I’ll give it a go. I’ll conclude with remarks about Robert Frost and his ideas, since he was a reader and great admirer of James Madison, and in fact, named Madison the best dreamer of the American dream.

    What happened? What happened to this nation so favored by Providence and Nature? To quote Bertie Wooster allegedly quoting Shakespeare, “It’s always just when a [fellow] is feeling particularly…braced with things in general that Fate sneaks up behind him with a bit of lead piping.” Or perhaps the situation is summed up in the gloomy expression you get these days when you ask an American how things are going. To quote Wodehouse again: it’s the kind of “somber nod…Napoleon might have given if somebody had met him in 1812, and said, ‘So you’re back from Moscow, eh?’”

    By all means read on. My exit question: who is “the Welshman”?

  9. @~joe, Buffalo, NY? Forty-three years ago I was a headstrong 19 year-old. My Mom’s family lived in Niagara Falls, Ontario. After Christmas we headed back to the NYC area. Me, my Mom, sister, and brother shoehorned ourselves into our 1976 Datsun B210. On the New York State Thruway, just past Buffalo, we were hit by a whiteout. Quickly the highway became covered with snow. As the driver I could not see the center line nor the shoulder but I forged on. Unbeknownst to me I drifted toward the shoulder when suddenly the passenger side of the car dropped. For fear that we would drop into a ditch I yanked the steering wheel leftward to get back up. Unfortunately this set the car into an uncontrollable series of spins. Like a cheesy B-rated movie we screamed in unison “Ahhhhhhhhh” as the car spun. Thankfully I regained control after the second spin and went our way a little bit wiser. Good times.

  10. Neo, a brief threadjack to comment that I did find a Wikipedia cite stating Charles Johnson partnered with his brother, Michael on the web design firm, Little Green Footballs. No mention on whether Michael ever contributed to the eponymous blog.

    But, in my memory there was some contribution from a brother. I think one or both were into bike riding, and bicycle commuting, a hobby I also share. Maybe Michael wrote on cycling and that’s why I remember him?

  11. Rufus:

    Perhaps. But by the time I was reading LGF, the content seemed to all be Charles Johnson’s work.

    By the way, you can’t really hijack the subject matter of a thread (this one) that essentially has no subject matter except for a sort of throat-clearing “ahem.”

  13. Brian Morgan: I accidentally clicked on your name and hit your blog “Astrotuna.” Nice website.

    I’ve been wanting to play with HDR photography, though I remain daunted by astrophotography.

  14. oopfan…pretty far south…central/southern New South Wales to be exact.
    It’s supposed to be 36C by Monday, and we’ve seen 41…but we’re in a multi-year drought & have about 100 bushfires going around the state…So 30 seems picnic.

    If you’re into praying you could all pray for rain.
    Aussies would be mighty appreciative.

  15. huxley: Thank you for your reply. Astrophotography is an all-consuming hobby destined to rob you of your time and dollars. It is also immensely rewarding. I suggest joining a local astronomy club if one is available. Friendships with other like-minded individuals are best. If possible avoid gurus who promise success. It’s taken me a solid two years to get to where I am today. Thankfully I’ve lived by my belief: “Do more with less”. I know people who dropped $10,000 on gear with the expectation of achieving Hubble-like results, and then are bitterly disappointed that they can’t make anything work. Resist the temptation to throw money at the problem. Likewise don’t expect much from a $200 telescope. In my experience you can get great results spending $2000. Nothing more. The good news is that your gear holds its value. Lots of people I know sell their old equipment on eBay to offset the purchase of new, better gear. But like I said, connect with other people. Two minds are better than one.

  16. I’ll add rain to my prayers. I toured Croatia with a bus full of Aussies this past June. Nice people, great fun!

  17. Astrophotography is an all-consuming hobby destined to rob you of your time and dollars.

    Brian Morgan: In high school a friend and I were fellow amateur astronomers with 4 1/2″ reflectors. He was also an amateur photog who later went pro. Your words were his warning to me.

    There are nice ‘scopes out there for reasonable prices. I’ve considered getting back into astronomy, however, aside from being somewhat aware of the time commitment, I’m rather disappointed at how bad the light pollution is these days, even in Albuquerque.

  19. huxley: Thanks again for your reply. Depending on when you went to high school astrophotography has changed dramatically. When I was in high school I had one choice: photographic film. These days everything is digital: CCD or CMOS cameras. You would think it should be easier but in fact it is more difficult because now you need to know how to capture and process calibration images.

    I’m glad you mentioned light pollution. This is something that can put a hard limit on what you can achieve. You do have choices but you have to choose wisely in order to make a wise investment in equipment.

    What I suggest you do is the opposite of most people: don’t buy a telescope (yet), rent a telescope and focus on learning how to process the images. But don’t rent in the conventional sense. Instead rent time on a telescope maintained by other people, accessible to you over the Internet.

    The software I use for image processing is called Astro Pixel Processor or APP for short: https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/

    The author of APP recently entered a partnership with iTelescope.net in which you can rent time on professional grade instruments in remote locations in the northern and southern hemispheres. You sign up, allocate time, and then the data is delivered to you. From there you use APP software to process the images.

    I have not personally tried it but I would recommend an easy target like M42, The Great Orion Nebula due to its brightness. Total telescope time will be relatively short and less expensive compared to a faint target. Fainter target equals more time equals more money,

    If you can get to the point where you can do this in your sleep then you are ready for your own telescope if you so choose.

  21. Brian Morgan: I’m aware of the CCD/CMOS developments, though not come near them in person.

    However, the possibility of renting time on a professional telescope somewhere had not occurred to me. Thanks.

    I do know M42. Here’s a poem I wrote for M31:
    ________________________________________

    Directions

    on a clear winter night look up

    and find the Great Square
    formed by Pegasus

    follow the twin arcs
    streaming from the upper left corner

    that’s the Lady Andromeda
    carried off by the wingéd horse

    sight up from the second pair of stars
    and slightly to the right

    now don’t look straight at it
    but a little to the side and

    relax
    there—that faint glow

    the Andromeda Galaxy

  22. Of Tribulation—these are They,
    Denoted by the White.
    The Spangled Gowns, a lesser Rank
    Of Victors, designate—

    All these—did conquer—
    But the Ones who overcame most times—
    Wear nothing commoner than Snow—
    No Ornament, but Palms—

    “Surrender”—is a sort unknown—
    On this superior soil—
    “Defeat,” an Outgrown Anguish—
    Remembered, as the Mile

    Our panting Ankle barely passed,
    When Night devoured the Road—
    But we – stood—whispering in the House—
    And all we said—was Saved!

  23. Gerard: That’s obviously Emily Dickinson.

    Why don’t you give attribution? As I recall, you were a literary agent once upon a time.

  25. Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
    But the fire is so delightful.
    And since we’ve got no place to go,
    Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

  26. huxley, I love your “Directions” poem. It’s the word “relax” that speaks to me.

    And also, I love snow. Yes, of course, like anybody else, I get a little tired of being so cold by February, March, April, even May or so, but nevertheless, I do love the drifts and blizzards and whiteouts and grey quiet days and glittering sunlit mornings and the deep blue footprints in the soft white depths. Am I really the only one?

  27. Mrs Whatsit: Why, thank you!

    Relax is a good word and a true word in this case. It’s hard to see the Andromeda Galaxy if you stare intently at it. The trick is to look a little to the side and relax. Then the little fuzzy patch pops out. It’s called “averted vision.”

    When I was a kid I thought it was so neat that you could see another galaxy unaided.

  28. Mrs. Whatsit and huxley:

    When I was 16 years old I spent two weeks on a farm in the middle of nowhere southern Indiana. At night it was so dark that I could see the Andromeda Galaxy with direct vision.

    It is really quite large in the sky, much larger than what I can fit in the field of view of my telescope and camera. The following link takes you to a mosaic I created recently. It comprises six separate images that I stitched together with software. Each of the six panels can hold the size of the full Moon which gives a good idea of how large it is. Next year I will work on a full color mosaic with much greater detail and depth. By the way, that large elliptical blob in the upper center panel is another galaxy that orbits Andromeda!

  30. Brian Morgan,

    I have nothing to do with threedonia.com these days. Haven’t posted for 2 or 3 years. I’ve written about it’s history here, before. It used to be a rather popular site, thousands of readers, tens of thousands of unique hits a month. It is a difficult task posting often enough to retain a large readership. I have respect for people like Neo who can write so well, so often.

    The gentlemen who keep threedonia going these days are good eggs, but it’s nothing like it used to be. And, through an unfortunate accident when one of them did an upgrade most all my work has been deleted; lost to the ether. Around 10,000 posts over the course of a decade. Goodness knows how many words… gone.

    Funny thing, the world wide web.

  31. Around the age of 12 I suddenly developed an immense interest in Astronomy, which was unfortunate as I lived in Chicago, where on the best nights, in the dead of winter, one could make out maybe 50 of the highest magnitude stars. I read everything I could find on the subject; memorized all 88(?) Constellations. Knew the myths behind them. Memorized the Greek alphabet. Learned to tell time within 5 minutes by looking at Ursa Major. Knew the Mare and many of the named craters on the moon. My very energetic mother just served us nine pizzas…

    Then, around the age of 20 I stopped. I have no idea where the interest came from, or why it left as abruptly as it arrived. It’s weird. Sometimes the subject will come up with my wife or kids, they’ll ask a question about something in the sky and I’ll rattle off an obscure fact and they are as astounded as I am that I know it, as it has not been a part of my life in the time they have known me. But still, I have forgotten so much.

    And, I know so much of significance has been discovered and uncovered in the 30+ years since I followed the subject. Even what little I remember of the mechanics is likely incorrect, or improved upon.

    I’ve heard and read some folks state that studying Astronomy led them to Atheism. As they began to understand the vastness of the Universe and the relative insignificance of our little rock orbiting a 3rd rate star in a 10th rate Galaxy in a backwater of the Universe they became convinced there can be no God. Astronomy had the opposite affect on me. It led me away from Atheism. The more I understood the more beautiful it all became.

    I sincerely believe light pollution is responsible for so many of us modern humans having diminished spirituality. When one sees the night sky on a clear night, unhindered by artificial light, one is struck, like an arrow piercing one’s soul. There is an instant connection to the Universe and humanity. I was about 14 years old the first time I saw the night sky in a remote, rural area. It was astounding! More beautiful than my wildest imaginings.

    Nice poem, by the way, huxley.

  32. huxley, I’m guessing Gerard assumed everyone would recognize it. (I made that assumption once with a poem I copied out for someone and we had a misunderstanding about it…)

  33. Rufus,

    Thanks for your reply. I started life wanting to be an ornithologist because I loved flight. Then I wanted to be a paleontologist because what kid doesn’t love dinosaurs? But I found my true calling during the Space Race to the Moon. My Dad bought me a “beater” telescope and then a much nicer one that I still use today.

    I started college with the plan of becoming a professional astronomer but life got in the way. My parents split, sold my childhood home, and I was told “you’re on your own kid” (literally). My first job was as a computer programmer paying $5 an hour. Minimum wage was $2.87 so this was huge.

    The future didn’t quite work out the way I planned. So what? You adapt to a changing landscape and find ways of pursuing your lifelong interests. And honestly I don’t think I would have been happy being a professional astronomer. Everything in academia is so cutthroat.

    Regarding religion, scientific pursuits have not changed me. I know what you mean though. When I read physics blogs I marvel at how vicious some people can be about those religious “troglodytes”. Honestly I think that having a religious foundation is important. Just because you *can* do something doesn’t mean you *should*. Ethics in science is at an all-time low in my opinion.

    I agree with you about light pollution. Fortunately I live in a community having no street lights but drive a couple miles away and it is a totally different story. Frankly I don’t understand why shopping centers need to run lights full-tilt all night. Why not try reducing power consumption by 50% two hours after sunset? Turn every other light off. There may or may not be an uptick in crime. Measure it, then let it guide you what to try next. Also, there seems to be a disconnect between the acceptance of high power consumption versus the fear that the world will end in 12 years due to climate change.

  35. Brian Morgan: Great stitch of Andromeda! Did you buy time for that one? Impressive.

    I imagined myself as a professional astronomer, but it looked like a tough gig to get into. Even fewer positions than physicists.

  36. Kate…if you can get as far as Croatia, next time just head south…you’ll find us eventually. Maybe it’ll have rained by the time you get here and be back to beautiful again. 😉

  37. Brian Morgan: I loved the story of this guy:

    Milton Humason, a high-school dropout who worked as a mule driver and then a janitor at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California, worked his way up to become the assistant of Edwin Hubble, whom he helped to study the spectral redshift of hundreds of galaxies.

    https://www.csmonitor.com/Science/Cool-Astronomy/2010/0519/How-a-janitor-at-the-Mount-Wilson-Observatory-measured-the-size-of-the-universe

    I suspect that career path is no longer open.

    * * *
    My father had a variety of successive “flash hobbies” — he would develop an interest in something (chip carving, archery, calligraphy), pursue it for 3 to 5 years, and then move on to the next. I suspect he learned as much as he desired to know about each subject or skill, without wanting to make any of them a priority. Which sounds to me like your experience.
    He played pool casually most of his life, but one year made his own table, which one of our sons now owns (not made with slate, though, so it kind of warped during multiple moves).

  39. huxley: I suspect that career path is no longer open

    Those days are long gone but on a positive note there are organizations like the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) where citizen scientists can make significant contributions. I am a member.

  40. Brian Morgan: I remember the AAVSO from my “Sky & Telescope” magazine days. Good for you.

    I also remember amateur comet hunters, especially the Japanese, doing yeoman work in that area.

    In 1965 I was so excited by comet Ikeya-Seki. I told some friends about it and where to look. They came back and said they didn’t see anything. They were expecting something like a huge meteor to roar across the sky like a cosmic freight train.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Ikeya–Seki

  41. Brian Morgan, spectacular!

    huxley, yes, I’ve seen the Andromeda galaxy by looking beside it — in fact, that’s the way I can best see many stars these days, as my long-distance vision doesn’t seem to be as sharp as it once was. I’m not well versed in astronomy, but I do a fair amount of stargazing as I live in a pretty dark area, farm country in Central New York with large stretches of wooded, uninhabited state land. The nearest cities are not very close or very big. Clear nights here, especially in winter, are a bonanza of stars — the constellations are easy to spot and the Milky Way arches all the way across the sky. Recently we replaced our old spotting scope (intended mainly for birding) with a new one that, though inexpensive, provides startlingly clear views of the surface of the moon, the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter and other fascinating things — so I’ve been looking at the night sky more fruitfully lately.

    Rufus, you make a fascinating (and so beautifully expressed) point about light pollution and spirituality. So many of us are cut off now from the great beautiful mysteries that used to inspire awe and wonder in humanity — not only the night sky, but forests, wilderness, wildlife — and I agree that it diminishes us.

  42. huxley:

    Let’s see, 1965 would have made me 8yo. I was transitioning from ornithology to paleontology. I hadn’t been bitten by the astro bug yet.

    I read the wiki page you linked to. I could kick myself for not seeing that one! Magnitude -10? That’s nearly as bright as the Moon.

    The best comet that I can recall is Comet West in 1975. I was in the desert southwest Arizona as the comet swung around the Sun to become a morning target. I woke up early and drove to the desert. The Milky Way was in all its glory. It was nautical twilight. The comet’s head was just above the horizon. It’s tail rose up and across the Milky Way and trailed off overhead at the zenith. It was stunning.

    Have you seen a total solar eclipse?

  44. This discussion and huxley’s comment about comet Ikeya-Seki reminded me of a night in the 1990s when a wonderful comet was visible in the sky above our farm for a number of nights. Probably it was Hale-Bopp, but it might have been that other comet that was visible a year or so earlier — I don’t remember now which one it was. Anyway, one night I came home from a late meeting, drove up to the top of our driveway well away from the house lights and stepped out of the car, without turning it off, to look at the comet. There was no moon, there were stars all over the sky, and the last movement of Beethoven’s 9th symphony happened to be playing through the car’s open door as I looked up — just in time to see a huge shooting star streak directly across the face of the comet. Well. Speaking of spiritual experiences. I was transfixed and half-tearful — one of those fleeting moments that you just have to try to live inside while it lasts, knowing nothing like it will come again.

    Later I spoke to my uncle who lived in another county and learned that he, too, had been watching the comet at just that moment and had also seen the meteor and the comet cross paths — another little bit of serendipity. The whole experience was a glimpse of real-life magic.

    Have you tesseracted lately?
    😉

  47. I am insanely jealous of all you people who claim you can actually see the stars. I grew up on a farm in northern Illinois, only a mile from town, and the night sky was absolutely awesome. I was lucky enough to have my desk placed up against two widish double-hungs; the land on that side was given over to fields and sloped down slightly, so on clear nights I could rest my eyes from the books (or else just get to daydreaming) by looking out those windows at the wondrous night sky, the constellations, the Milky Way. I liked to listen to real music while I studied, and Ravel’s “Rhapsodie Espagnol” especially will always bring to mind that night sky. An almost mystical sense of them, together, taking me to some other realm of the Universe.

    When I got to SF age, those wonderful space stories came into the mix….

    But I haven’t seen the stars for many years now. And when I went back to the farm almost 15 years ago to spend a few weeks alone there … there were no stars. All the farms had big, bright yard lights, and the town was better-lit too.

    I miss the stars.

    .

    I said I was jealous, but I was being cute. I’m very glad that some of you are still able to see and love them.

  49. Mrs Whatsit: Hale-Bopp was a good ‘un. I saw it from San Francisco in Golden Gate Park at sunset. Great Beethoven’s 9th story!

    My mother played the 9th late one night when I was a small child. I woke up and heard the Ode to Joy for the first time. The next morning I asked my mother if the angels had visited.

  50. Have you seen a total solar eclipse?

    Brian Morgan: No, just some partials. The last one was in the mid-2000s. I was at a writer’s conference in the Marin woods. We were downwind of a California fire, so everything smelled smokey and the light was deep orange.

    While walking under the trees I noticed the shadows were strange. On closer inspection there were little orange crescents everywhere. I figured the light was somehow being refracted by the leaves.

    Later I looked it up and yes. Some striking photographs:

    “Tree Leaves as “Pinhole Cameras” During a Solar Eclipse”
    https://petapixel.com/2012/05/21/crescent-shaped-projections-through-tree-leaves-during-the-solar-eclipse/

  51. huxley: I was very fortunate to have seen and photographed two total solar eclipses in my lifetime. The first was in 1973 off the coast of Mauritania, Africa. I was aboard a ship for 16 days. There was something to do every day including talks by speakers like Neil Armstrong, Scott Carpenter, Isaac Asimov, and a host of others on all kinds of topics from radio astronomy to space exploration. On the day of the eclipse we were 400 miles off the coast. We were plagued by a thick blanket of clouds but the ship’s captain persevered. He found a hole in the clouds that persisted an hour before and an hour after totality. I went there with an astro-buddy. The observation deck was packed with people so the experience was diminished by that.

    Thankfully I got another chance in 1991. La Paz, Mexico is very nearly at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. I observed the eclipse from the white sandy beaches. The Sun was very near a sunspot maximum so there were plenty of solar flares. The minutes leading up to totality is just as exciting. The Moon’s shadow descended upon us from the west. When you looked towards the west you could see darkness growing quickly. The palm tree fronds projected tiny solar crescents upon the sand, dancing with the wind. Moments before the shadow fell upon us a curious phenomenon occurs. Shimmering bands of light danced upon a bed sheet that someone meticulously laid on the sand. At this moment you can remove protective eye-wear and look directly at the Sun. This is known as Second Contact, the moment when the last few beams of sunlight pierce through the valleys of the Moon. It creates what is called the Diamond Ring which lasts only 5 seconds or so. All the stars and planets become visible. Everyone is busy snapping photos but I always make sure to reserve the last minute or two to sit back and enjoy it.

    One thing I want to emphasize is how the mind and body reacts to this new stimuli. As the Moon’s shadow descends there is a primal urge to flee. I can certainly understand how primitive peoples regarded eclipses as omens. The next day, I read in the newspaper (through an interpreter) that the townsfolk never actually saw the eclipse. They were fearful and retreated to their homes.

  52. Are you sure that Neo is OK with us gobbling up her bandwidth and disk space? This is all very much off-topic but I enjoy meeting newcomers to the discussion!

  53. Brian Morgan: It’s just ASCII, very cheap. Besides, as neo said above:

    By the way, you can’t really hijack the subject matter of a thread (this one) that essentially has no subject matter except for a sort of throat-clearing “ahem.”

    Beats a thrash. As long as we play nice and provide amusement, I’m sure we’re fine.

    Great eclipse stories. I mean, Armstrong and Carpenter are OK, but Asimov is a god!

    I’d love to witness the totality. You are a fortunate fellow.

  54. Asimov is a god!

    huxley: Yes, indeed. One morning we queued ourselves up at the Bursar’s Office to schedule activities at the next port of call. My grandfather lent me his ancient Kodak non-SLR manual camera. For flash I used bulbs the size of walnuts that plugged into an 8-inch aluminum reflector. I carried this camera everywhere I went. So there I am standing on line with my buddy and my camera, and who walks in? Isaac Asimov! My friend dared me to walk up and take his photo. I obliged him. I stealthily walked up and asked: “Dr. Asimov?” He turned around and replied: “YESSS.” I snapped his photo before he knew what hit him. He took a step or two back. I apologized and asked if he was OK. He said: “Yes, yes,” with his arm stretched in my direction, “just as soon as the blue dot disappears.” I made my way back to my friend who added “He’s going to kill you.”

  55. I miss the stars.

    Julie near Chicago: Me too. When I was a kid in Ormond Beach the night sky was amazing, even though we were just north of Daytona at sea level with tons of moisture in the air.

    Now, in the high desert of Albuquerque I don’t know how many miles I would have to drive to see the sky in its full glory. I thought I would get a telescope out here, but it seems kinda pointless unless I want to live far from the city.

    Last year I was visiting some commune friends in Arkansas who live in the boonies. They can still see the Milky Way good and proper.

  56. Brian, thanks very much for the link. Bookmarked. :>))

    huxley, the Great Frog should not spoil us with wonderful gifts and then take them away from us. BAD Great Frog! 😡

    I could probably see the sky if I could drive up into SW Wisc. That land is hilly and rocky and there are probably still unpopulated areas. It would certainly be worth it.

    The Children (Young Miss & husband) sometimes go camping in the Boundary Waters area. They say they have stars up there. *jealous growl* 😀
